First time showing up on my feed .. never seen the channel before, but seems nice and quick and to the point. I can't really disagree with most takes, though I haven't tired that many of them myself (for reasons they stated).

Hello, I have a beautiful JCK 240 Single Bevel Gyuto in Ginsan for sale. Fun knife, with excellent F&F on the spine and choil. Steers a lot (as you'd expect) through onions, but gorgeous through fish and meat and even green onions. Food release is pretty amazing too (as you'd expect on a single...

Hello, This channel isn't knife specific but does "a day in a life of" type videos and this time it's "in a life of a knife technician at a factory"

Hello! I just saw an ad for one from Sharpworks: https://sharpworx.com/product/sharpworx-professional-guided-free-hand-sharpener/ Wondering if anyone tried one of these? I feel like a single horizontal steel rod is not enough to be stable .. also feels like the clamp is too long, but I'd like...

Hello, I have two stones that I don't end up using as much these days: Arkansas Black 8x2 - Asking $60 - Arkansas used 4 times - My caliper shows 13.5mm left .. which is more than 1/2 inch it's supposed to be .. maybe they run a little thick. - Wanted to try "natural" stone feel, and it's very...

Hello, Long post warning. Very DYI stuff warning ... This is my journey through making guided sharpening systems for full-size stones. ("making" used loosely as I'm just derping around). Ideas on improvements welcome! Reasoning: - Early on I decided to go full-size stones instead of something...

Hello, My grocery delivery sometimes omits bread, as they are out, and I actually tried making it myself ... It turned out passable for the first try, but I'm lazy. I'll try these no-knead recipes as well, but I'm wondering if people here have recommendations for breadmakers. Home usage, once a...

Kinda neat video compare of some of the guided sharpening systems out there. When I just started in sharpening I often wondered how would they compare. Also included a basic stone. I think with practice one can get a better result with many of the systems, so maybe the test is only valid for new...

Hello, I went off the rails a bit and have been intrigued by the idea of "Single Bevel" "Gyuto". Everything in quotes as gyutos by default are supposedly double bevel and single bevel, in this case, isn't a true single bevel as there isn't really an ura ... as far as I can understand. Maybe a...

Hello, Always wondered why, when people ship knives with sayas, knives are wrapped and packaged outside of sayas? Is it because the saya isn't a perfect fit and knife rattles? Can it really damage the knife? Is it because knives don't always come with sayas and so people just got used to doing...

Hello, I'm looking for a Shinko Kurokumo R2, specifically 270mm, gyuto if someone has one that they are willing to part with. Thank you. Cheers.
