Thanks! From the big man himself! I didn't know there was only one laminated one so far. It certainly is beautiful. Thanks so much. Sorry for the misunderstanding in this thread, my bad

Show me what you've got! Particularly looking for nicely-laminated ones. Not sure what the market price for these are right now, so let me know what it will take to part with it :) Thanks all!

I put "master" in quotes in my post intentionally lol. On my third or fourth shift, the Japanese owner (owned half the business) of my place left to go back to Japan, and the remaining "master" was from the Philippines, and was not at the same level. I don't believe you have to be Japanese to be...

Yeah. My first few years of apprenticeship were in a sushi bar and the "master" only used single-beveled knives. I don't recall as steep a learning curve as most people seem to experience, but I believe I learned to adapt quickly out of sheer necessity. After a week or so of using only...

I'm not good at photography, but very excited to get these home and try them out.... Yoshihiro Aonamiuchi Yanagiba - Blue #1 Yoshihiro Hongasumi Edo Usuba - Blue #2 Jesus, I don't know what a focal point is apparently... Genuine Canadian apology for ****** pics

One of the few people I considered a hero of mine. Taught me so much about food, writing and life. I would often day-dream up schemes to convince him to have a meal with me one day. Bought a BBQ for our head office and had a feast with my staff in his honour this afternoon. Out of the...

Kato Workhorse just showed up. She's beautiful

Would love to know as well. Have been trying to did through Google recently. I have found some cool posts about Thrift Shop finds and antique shops, but they seem like rare occurrences. It's my dream to stumble upon on old beater and bring her out of retirement. Thanks for making this post...

Seems like this should be a classic, but I don't remember seeing it when I read through this whole thread on the weekend. Also, why he has a revolver on the table should speak volumes... Please don't enjoy... https://youtu.be/UnrUARO-HnQ?t=1m54s

You're the man! Thanks so much for linking these. I am getting into this deep now

I love nearly every episode of the original Iron Chef, but this one is always in my top 5.

Delightfully devilish, thanks man!

Bumping it up, Von Blewitt is teasing me...

There's the rub... no pun intended. I figured as much. Time to piss off the wife! Thanks again man, this is very helpful

Nope - Funky_Luxury I follow you on IG with envy

So it looks like I need to get myself a Jnat stone to bring out the contrast between the Hagane and Jigane. Is there a particular Natural stone that will give me a mirror polished Hagane while keeping the Kasumi finish on the Jigane? He used a Suita in the video below, but it didn't quite...
