    Kid-safe Knife Storage Setup

    I guess much of it depends on the kid too, right? I have friends with a daughter who started using a kid’s knife at 4, and a little after that was using a santoku (supervised), and at 6 is safer and better with a knife than most adults!

    Takamura R2 vs VG10

    This brings up the question in my mind… who is going to maintain this knife? If you’re in the same city, the OP could, but maybe including a pre-loaded strop (and some instruction on how and why to use it) would help keep it performing well between sharpenings.

    A Basic Explanation of Asymmetry

    As I was taking this, I realized this stock may be too thin to do this, yes?

    Kid-safe Knife Storage Setup

    If I had rug rats that needed protecting, I thought of something along those lines and could mount on the side of the cabinet next to the sink. There are also under cabinet knife drawers that can probably lock, but they don't look like they hold many.

    A Basic Explanation of Asymmetry

    Thanks! One more question… can you think of any reasons not to turn a 50/50 (Tojiro DP 240mm) asymmetrical?

    shill: a person who pretends to give an impartial endorsement of something in which they themselves have an interest. The only reason I got suspicious about Gesshin was the number of times he mentioned them.

    What are we watching lately?

    After they took "Chuck" off Netflix I bought the series on Blu-ray. Realized that out of the five GREAT seasons, I'd missed seasons 1 and 5 when it first aired. Currently like "Seal Team".

    Burrfection's New Knives

    OK, I've seen him too, but it's been a while so I watched the first three of his videos that auto played. He sure seems to mention Gesshin stones and knives a lot. Oh, they're made for him? From those three videos it would be impossible to tell that he sold anything else. Maybe Ryky's not the...

    A Basic Explanation of Asymmetry

    Interesting stuff! A couple questions: 1. Is half convex the way a 70/30 or other would come from from a manufacturer, or is this purely custom and/or done after purchase? 2. I hope i didn't miss it, but what is your preferred method for sharpening/creating the convex side? Thanks!

    Burrfection's New Knives

    Maybe this thread is dead, but I'm going to jump in anyway. It's obvious that very few people here are going to start a Ryky Tran fan club, and I get it, but I just wanted to say that Ryky was single-handedly responsible for getting me excited about sharpening again after years of having no...
