Anyone want to post their spine and choil shots of their genkai or okishiba? ;)

That seems to be the case... I was hoping to get down in the details about taper and edge geometry

can you tell me more about the omura? where are you based?

No just roughed it up good and epoxy. The slot is square and it took a hammer to press fit the spacer. I'm confident it will not move.

Hey, wanted to share the making of this bolster piece for a recent gyuto. It was inspired by Ford Hallam's series on making a copper tsuba. I will not show the making of the slot, there is enough material on that. So, I started with a piece of brass the same shape as the front of my handle...

heh, was cutting spring onions the other week... and knuckle sashimi!

do you use compound? I hope there isn't any sanding grit that got stuck...

People! please also say WHY you like them the best.

honyaki yanagibas are better to hang on your wall no? :p

hey everyone, doing some research on what makes a good Yanagiba tick. This might be a good way to educate the forum: why don't you post your favourites? Choil shots are very welcome as well measurements or anything interesting. It seems like everyone knows what makes a good gyuto, but I think...

your edge should flex a bit under your fingernail. That'll tell you if you're thin enough. I finish with stones too. Usually chef knives are 1mm thick 10mm away from the edge, from that point to zero at the edge will give you a grind better than 90% of what's out there.

Don't wanna nag but id put them edge up...

You could also rub in the buffing compound by hand if you don't have a wheel. Takes a little longer but it can work. Make sure you sand it to a high enough grit.

what did you buy it for? dragons? ;)

hey it'll fix itself! unless you have endless money...

sorry, read a little too fast :)

The 240 gyuto without the K-tip. I've had a crush on shibata's knives since the start

Shibata kotetsu AS would fit your requirements I'd say

what a pretty kiridashi you have:)

Made a single bevel gyuto once... Wasn't good at gyuto tasks nor Yanagiba tasks.
