Definitely the Kato Westerns when they were easy to get. Also, choosing a KS3124 over the Masamoto Honyaki when they were available at JCK. A big non-regret was buying a Hiromoto Honyaki while that was possible. Love that thing. Haven't seen many on BST.

Lots of cooked spinach with garlic, lemon and olive oil.

That is all class...

Thanks for all these replies - I could have given more context too. I have a cheap slightly shorter wa-petty in I think AS from Aritsugu or something. Anyway, its a beater - I love it. I use it to open boxes etc, and it can still butterfly a chicken no probs. I use it constantly - but it has...

Good point - let's presume its a good one, or the capacity to fix minor-ish problems.

Looking for a yo-petty 150mm or bigger. Have never had a TF. They cost a lot. Do you think the TF wow factor would still be expressed in smaller knives?

These are hot... is that a 'dude where's my car' tattoo?

Heiji 270 yo-suji and Hiromoto Honyaki

AFAIK Heiji is more famous for saws than for knives. Maybe that has something to do with it..?

This is the first mechanical keyboard of seen on KKF BST and my hobby brain is is exploding.

hiromoto honyakis have a welded stainless tang too

Amazing. What is the two-toned handle Western, third from the left, on the top right 'wall worthy' rack? It's hawt.

Also, you might not want a flush cut at the end - i.e. you might want to create a facet around the base of the handle or at least break the edge. I would use a sharp box plane for that. You could probably do it with careful sanding though.

I used to use a 150, then I switched to a Heiji 180 and the size makes life much easier. Recommend 180. I've used a 210 and that felt too big, but I'd use a 180 on anything, and when they get too small for that, then a 120 is the way to go (sardines, little mackerel etc).

I have two commercial Dipo induction units: Dipo Induction Cooker with Temperature Probe - Roband Australia. They slap.

I had an average cast iron skillet that I needed to completely strip and re-season. I struggled hard to remove the seasoning with vinegar / over cleaner etc. In the end I used a wire brush on my drill. Removed the seasoning quick smart, but also smoothed the surface considerably. It wasn't the...

Recommend Gumi handles for them.

I use kikuhiromaru chisels. I get them from Japan Tool

I chose the PEQ370 too because I'm not using a AV receiver and can use the built in high pass filter between my pre-amp and power amp. I'm not sure if they suggest different amps for sealed or ported, but I built a sealed box to go with the DS1200 kit - seemed easier and more appropriate for my...
