It sounds like most people who have cleavers use them for frozen foods, chicken bones, other carcasses/bones, and melons/coconuts/other very large items. I currently use a Shibazi chinese cleaver as my beater knife for some frozen things (boneless/not very hard). I haven't cut any chicken bones...

Hey KKF, long time no see! I've had my nose in the books over the last year or so and haven't stopped by much. Hope you're all surviving this brutal 2020... I wanted to get your opinion on the subject of a meat cleaver in the home kitchen. By 'meat cleaver' I mean a large, heavy cleaver that...

Bump, hope you enjoyed it! I definitely did :). IMO this is a great value knife... priced right, if I do say so myself.

This Wakui is SOLD! Thanks buyer and thanks KKF! Appreciate the love for the Wakui, it is a great knife (esp. for the price! even retail!).

Here's a spine shot. Let me know if you want any other pictures!

I can take a few and post it in this thread today, no problem!

I'm selling this Wakui 240mm migaki stainless-clad white/shirogami 2 gyuto. I purchased this knife last autumn but it now sees little use and spent most of the last few months hanging out on my knife block. I used it a fair amount when I first purchased it, maybe around 20-35 times used in home...

That Dalman paring is fun I guarantee it, I use mine all the time! Good add for whoever goes for the Harner :)

Love the Heiji, are they iron clad??

I'd love to see a 'before' shot -- the Dalman looks great after the work! I'd have never known it's plight just by looking. Is that sharp change in the reflection from S-grind?

Thanks, Marc! Looks real nice. HVB is on my interest list, which seems to be growing around the same rate as COVID infections these days... That's a much better job than I can do with choil shots, even with the finger-focus technique suggested earlier. Whenever I do that, my auto-focus...

Those HVBs are nice-looking. Are they (or is this one) convex BTE?

This is what I want to know more about. The damascus, at $1500, prices itself out of the ‘tool’ range to me so I’m not very interested. Though I am disappointed to hear about the business ****ery that James suffered. Anyways, I recall the same on regular B2 gyutos... maybe they were labeled hon...

Thanks! My degree will be in Materials Science & Engineering.

This exactly. It’s so uneconomical to manufacture something on a boat. Consider the added environmental factor of how the boat is rocking in the water, in addition to unnecessary expenses of shipping raw materials in and finished materials out. And paying manufacturing employees, presumably...

Thank you!

Oh, yeah, I guess it’s worth mentioning I’m on Jonas’ list as well. And I’m very excited to be on his list.

I was the person who had the quickest trigger on this 220mm Raquin KT on BST about 6 weeks ago. I've had it for about a month... but I didn't get to start using it until a couple weeks ago because it was a gift to myself for achieving a major milestone in graduate school. Bryan Raquin 220mm KT...

I made the mistake of using cheap Chinese stones initially. They didn’t teach wrong technique, but they were much slower at removing material and as a result the first few times I used my current stones (Gesshin set) I removed way more material than I needed to. This is not a recommendation of...
