Spotted on Instagram - Mareko and his wife Sarah are collaborating on a new series. They're monosteel 1075, full tang, stock removal knives. They look to have his s-grind, and similar profiles to his other knives. They'll be sold through his newsletter...

Mert has launched a semi-production line, marked as Hunter Valley Blades. He just finished a batch of eight gyutos. They're kurouchi 52100 steel, 230-240mm x 56-61mm, with forged geometry (thick at the spine, thin at the edge). These are priced substantially lower than his typical stuff. He's...

I'm looking for a semi-stainless or stainless all-around 210mm gyuto, and I'd like your input. I'm trying to be around $120-160, but I'd also like to hear your thoughts of anything right around $200 that's worth saving longer for (eg, JKI's En line). Ideally, this would be a bit of a workhorse...

While trolling rakuten, I came across a company (Hidari Tozo) that claims to have an exclusive Ginsan #8 from Hitachi. They say it tested at 62HRC. This raises a few questions: 1) is anyone familiar with Hitachi having such a program? Property steels are nothing new, but using Hitachi-style...

Hi all, My name is Nick; I've been reading this forum for ages and decided to finally join. I'm a home user, and I do design/drafting for work. I'm very interested in manufacturing and materials, and I hope someday to get into modifying and making kitchen knives. For now, I mainly own knives...
