That's really good to know about the Kramer handles--I'm leaning towards the stainless Z kramer (per the thread David pointed me to above) that seems to have the exact same shape the z kramer carbon. Plus its 100 bucks cheaper :) I really don't trust my roommate with a carbon knife, even one...

Awesome, I'll check it out, thanks.

Hi All, I'm looking to buy my roommate a nice all rounder chef's knife for his birthday. In general he likes simple well made Japanese stuff (key chains, pocket knives etc.) so I'm looking primarily at Japanese knives but I'm not sure I'll be able to find anything that quite fits the niche of...

Quebec has region specific knives ?

Lol yes, I've been trying to do some research to sort out who is actually doing the manufacturing, just for the sake of my curiosity. Even reached out to a few people selling it, and have just given up. I've since received the knife and didn't find any obvious f&f issues with it, which was my...

Ah see I figured it was something like this, but I just wasn't familiar with the process. Thanks for filling me in :)

I was looking at a different thread and saw someone mention a 135mm nashiji petty in blue #2 on carbon knife co. I thought to myself that sounds awful similar to the knife I just purchased trough cktg (I'm very new to knives, have read up a bit now on cktg and wills probs avoid in the future)...

Reassuring to hear its a good choice. I kinda went down the rabbit hole and freaked myself out that I may have been taken. I don't want to drag up any drama but I noticed from this thread that cktg links were "censored" so I did a little searching on the forum and found some strong opinions on...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I ended up getting the Minamoto Nashiji Blue #2 petty https://www.**************.com/minabl2pe13.html Kinda came out of left field but I think it has the best balance of the things I was looking for in addition to having an even bevel. I decided I'm just not...

Can anyone confirm that the Mac Pros have a 50/50 bevel? I'm having a hard time finding the exact information. I read something on the website that both sides have a 15 degree angle, so I'm assuming that's the case. I'm hesitant to get anything 70/30 when I'm so new at sharpening, even thought...

I think you're totally right that I want a very pointy or even k-tip petty for off board butchery/detail work, and good looks on those JCK blue clouds. I initially was looking into honesuki but decided I should get a petty for a little more versatility, so if I have to go one way or the other I...

Oh, I do like how these Zanmai's look, and that Corian handle is pretty. I also like how its more of a western style handle that I'm more comfortable with, even if its a little unrealistic to expect any good amount of knuckle clearance in a petty as GorillaGrunt pointed out above. I think...

I was also considering a Misono--how's the ease of sharpening on the swedish steel line? I was thinking the UX-10s might be a little too difficult for me as a sharpening noob, but also don't want to go too soft.

Hi All, I'm very new to learning about knives and sharpening, although I do have some basic sharpening knowledge from being a boy scout. My first impulse for joining the forum is for advice as I look to fill out my collection, although I'm excited to see what else I can learn and contribute to...
