Hi, I really like polishing (its a kind of relaxation for me) and am quite a stone nut, particularly as regards JNATs...But I found recently myself to lack enough toys for my stones, especially for the finer stuff...I have a couple of blades which are pretty good and sufficient for testing...

I was just browsing through all my pictures and found a folder with some which I made years ago...And as they represent let's say a bit unusual look at JNATs, I thought it might be worth to share them...That what I like on them is that they remind me on some planets and other objects in the...

Hi, just trying if anyone out there might incidentally have a large coticule (ideally at least 60 mm wide) for sale...I just got a very sweet vintage coti with lot of manganese lines which is extremely fast and generally very, very good for sharpening of kitchen knives, its just a bit small...

Hi, I am offering a couple of stones for sale, among them a few pieces which I actually don’t want to sell (and they may be withdrawn any time) and I offer them partly because they deserve to be used more often (I am more a stone nut than a knife nut, but currently have really too few knives to...

Hi, I have two knives for sale: 1) Isasmedjan 270 mm gyuto with wrought iron cladding - 269 mm at the edge, 58 mm tall, 282 g, 26c3 steel, burned oak handle - purchased 2 years ago, lightly used in a home kitchen...Its a great and really pretty knife, very good cutter, but just a bit too large...

Hi, I have 3 stones for sale, if anyone is interested ( I have much more stones than I can reasonably use): 1) Kasabori - 197 x 66 x 56 mm, 1658 g I got this one from Otto few months ago, its a great and very nice brick, but as my main use for middle grits is currently a quick edge refreshing...

Hi, I have two knives for sale: 1) Yoshikazu Ikeda 240 mm Shirogami# 2 mizu honyaki gyuto - 247 mm long, cutting edge 227 mm, 209 g, 53 mm tall Bought it few years ago directly from Japan through Tomohito Iida, it has been lightly thinned by a very skilled sharpener (a friend of mine)...

Decided to reduce my collection and sell some of my current knives, although I like all of them a lot, but I simply don’t need so many knives being just a home cook and also eventually want to try some new ones. All prices are listed including shipping, I will cover shipping up to 20 USD which...

Hi, I have for sale a Shinden suita, if someone is interested - 190x85x23 mm, Lv about 4, nice pattern, quite typical for Shinden suita stones, but no of the lines are toxic. As usually with Shinden suitas, the stone is very fast, the speed may even be significantly increased using some suitable...

Bought it from a friend who has some contacts in Sakai, should be about 40 years old, maker is unknown, the steel is Aogami, without closer specification. I originally intended to use it for "playing" with naturals, but its a little too nice for it and I also want every single knife to be used...

Hi, I have for sale a Yoshikazu Ikeda 210 mm gyuto with a custom curly flame box elder burl handle from Matus Kalisky, link to more photos is here: https://rhamphorhynchus.rajce.idnes...flame_box_elder_burl_handle_by_Matus_Kalisky/ Its a remnant from an older thread focused on more knives, so...

Hi, I have 3 knives for sale: 1) Sakai Jikko Akebono 240 mm Blue 2 gyuto, link to photos is here: https://rhamphorhynchus.rajce.idnes.cz/Sakai_Jikko_Akebono_Blue_2_240_mm_gyuto_by_Kenichi_Shiraki_and_Hirosugu_Tosa/ Basically unused, has cut just 2 or 3 carrots for testing...It doesn't need any...

Hi, this knife is still listed in another BST thread, but as there were altogether 5 knives listed and 4 of them are sold already, I think it will be better to start a new thread for it, as the original thread title was already a bit misleading after only the Hide remained... I am the...

Hi, I have for sale the Gesshin 4k stone, only very lightly used (three or four times), so basically like new (still the same thickness), great stone (some reviews might be found for instance here: https://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/products/gesshin-4000-grit-stone), I just prefer splash...

Hi, I have five knives for sale, all of them are for various reasons sitting unused in the drawer for (at least) several months already, so its finally time to find a new home for them, all the more that I expect some new knife purchases in near future and need to make space… 1. Gesshin...

First, I want to say that my primary intention isn't to detract Maxim and his products, I have a couple from him and was generally really satisfied with them...until now, I have bought 2 JNATS from him recently, an Aiiwatani Kiita Koppa for about 150 $ and an Ohira Suita for about 550 $...and...

Yoshikazu Ikeda seems to be definitely one of the best smiths in Sakai, but most suprisingly, there doesn’t seem to as much information and feedback on his knives as I would expect for such an extremely skilled and famous craftsman. I had the opportunity to try for a few days one of his gyutos...

Hi, this is a longer post, so let me divide it into manageable pieces: The passaround: We (Matus and I) would like to start a passaround with either only the Gesshin 4000 stone or a set of Gesshin 400, 2000, 4000 and 6000. We would like to keep this one Europe-only only as Jon is working on...

Hi, I am looking for some special wood for my coming (first:-)) custom project; and as it will be a very special one and most likely my last for a long time again, I would like to get something really, really nice. I would prefer an untreated hardwood block (but I would consider stabilized...

Hi all, I would like to ask, if somebody has a direct experience with this line from Masami Asai: http://www.epicedge.com/shopexd.asp?id=86762 Why do I ask: I am looking for a 180 mm gyuto as a gift for one of my friends , stainless or semistainless, with a good edge retention, my main...
