They're also hard to find. And the cost of hinyski forgedf blue. Heh. Kitchen knives that look like Katana's.. sort of. Maybe that's part of their appeal too. Part of it is about the aesthetics.. personal thing. Shine live the rustic look. Some the soling or hammered edge. I prefer the clean...

Would any one notice this immediately?

What is the appeal of a mono (honyaki) steel knife? No cladding. Is it just for looks? Is there a functional reason? Making them the preferred choice over a san-mai blade??

Have you tried looking in Amazon? I found 2 Chosers grit stones on the CDN site... Not much selection... But they are around..

If you happen to have a pottery wheel.. Heh.. Find a way to secure the stone...

Thanks guys. That's right. Mark''s house brand. Forgot. Was more into kitchen knives maybe 10 years ago.

Just came across a video on YouTube about the Richmond Laser AO 2....Googled the company...couldn't load their website. Hard to find the Laser, Addict...etc.Can't find them sold (didn't look on Ebay)...Are they no longer making knives?

I'm with you on offeringpr a chess knife or gyuto with more belly. Where the tip is closer to the spine for better rocking. As I don't eat sushi. Or this dishes who's ingredients should be prop with a JP blade (e.g 90/10 offer Singler bevel). There are JP knives with that bladder shape. I...

I guess I'll have to Google TKC and Bessaku steels heh...

Shrug. Thought I heard it was the first with that profile. A fire the Konosuke 240mm gyuto.. It uses MONO HD2 steel... Not W#2... And it's$50 more. Probably hah similar HRC.

I heard when it came out it was a good deal for the innovative design. Iirc it was under $200.. Now it's close to $500 USD. No longer ground breaking. And versions of it from others like Konosuke to choos from if you must own this design. SimilarSspecs... Not sure how similar the dimensions and...

Some consider the KS to be THE JP Gyuto to own. Why? What makes (or made at one time) this THE "most sought after gyuto..."?? So many other JP Gyuto's with the same general profile, grind... Why is it Konosuke hasn't gotten the same admiration? Marketing? Word of mouth? I think they used W#2...

I was just looking for then. Where's did you get my get them? Send to be a better shape than the typical rectangular brick

Guys using grinders SHIRK MY SHOULD be using the m eye protection. I heard about someone using a vertical wheel grinder... Suddenly a piece of the knife fire of and used m grazes his cheek lucky it didn't fly into his eye as it became a projectile.

This is the machine I saw. M was looking for. Any idea how much this beauty runs? Orbital sander clamped hmmm...

Thanks for the info. I did containea Ken Onion Work Sharp. But since claim it puts scratches on the side above the never m cutting bevel. Others say it's worked fine die them. Opinions on the new Wusthof belt electric sharpener? Heard to find reviews.

I noticed a few JP bladesmiths using a horizontally positioned "grinding wheel sharpener". Which seems to make more sense than using the usual vertically oriented Machines (e.g. Tomek T4). I know Makita had a 9820-2 ($800 CDN on Amazon.ca)...another company..the Wood Worker ($300) is the name...

It seems Korean knives are overlooked (e.g. on forums, YouTube). Overshadowed by JP knives and German knives, American Customs... IIRC it was the Chinese/Koreans who taught the Japanese how to make swords in the beginning. Oddly it's the JP that stuck with it for over a century...producing...

Would there American Smith's be using US steel? As I said I did find one Japanese Momo carbon gyuto. Liked custom and priced in the same range as a Miyabi Birchwood and Black.
