I have a distincg memory of a video game I played many many tines where a villain says to his companions something like "I swear to god one more word and Ill kill you" and when the guy keeps talking he gets shot by his own guy. Can it be Fallout 4? But when in the game? I just can't place...

How much longer does as holds its edge compared to a#2 and how does r2/sg2 compare to as? (With similar good heat treat)

Can someone explaine SKD steel characteristics and properties? :) for an example, The Yoshikane SKD. I have an Ohishi Sakon SKD gyuto claimed to have 63-64 HRC.

Is there a real reason in quality to choose the Hinoura AS over the Kurosaki one? Both stainless clad, both AS with similar HRC, both similar profiles, but the Kurosaki is alot cheaper.

I was pretty sure I was gonna get another Takamura R2 migaki but something in me said that I maybe should get another carbon instead... the feel when sharpening... the cutting feel... the pretty much non issue with reactiveness when a patina is forced... the more worry less non staining with a...

The Takamura R2 and somewhat the VG10 version as well are lasers imo. But what more lasers are there out there? (that you can get in Europe) Btw I feel that the Kurosaki AS 210 gyuto isn't a laser, more of a workhorse to my hands in feel.

How much longer do R2/SG2 holds it edge than VG10 under the same circumstances and equal sharpening, thickness and so on? Is R2 is 100% how many % would vg10 reach approx? Curious how much less the Takamura vg10 migaki holds it edge than R2 migaki.

Whats the word on this steel? As good or better than SG2/R2? Edge retention? Sharpening? I was interested about the Akifusa 240 gyuto in SRS15. Apparently HRC 64-65. Worth it? Its a bit pricy, but I love the Akifusa AS which looks pretty much the same but different steel, so I'm already...

San mai, warikomi etc. When the steel is laminated in some way, does the core steel always go to the spine of the knife? Or gow far up in the blade does the core steel go? And how do they make the core steel harder than the outer layers? Heat treat ut before lamination? Or just a different...

Should the height/tallness of the blade for its longevity/lifetime be a factor behind buying a knife? I personally like the feel of a tall blade, but I would lie if I said it isn't very nice to know that I can sharpen it more times than a lower blade and thus it will have a longer life and give...

Any opinions on that stone compared to shapton pro and shapton glass?

What angles can well heat treated SG2/R2 handle?

Whats your opinion? What factory made j knives brand are the best? Yaxell? Miyabi? Mac? Shun? And so on.

I have a Yaxell Zen which I have used sparingly, all of a sudden it had some microchips on the front end, only been cutting veg like onions, garlig, apples and carrots. After 2 big sharpenings (my estimation is that those two are equivalent to 4 regular sharpenings) I finally get to hard...

Anyone tried the VG10 gyuto? Is it very similar to the R2 migaki version in profile and thinness?

I have a couple os Kurosaki AS, a couple of Akifusa AS and a couple of Shiro Kamo Aoagami#2 knives and a couple of Ohishi VG10 knives and a Yaxell Zen VG10. I'm contemplating which should be my next knife. Either another Shir Kamo A#2 because I love those knives and I love the paper carbon...

Anyone tried one of these? Im interested in a 240mm gyuto with wa handle.

Does anyone remember which year the classic ikon line was released? I remember buying them early but I cant remember when. One of my 8 inch chefs knives is well loved and abused, lost about 2mm i height due to sharpening and been thinned out many times over the years. Now I only use them for...

Hello Im a new member from Sweden! Today is the day we celebrate christmas unlike most of the world that celebrates tomorrow. So I thought I would treat you to a Swedish classic christmas dish called Janssons frestelse (The temptation of Jansson). 1 kilo of waxy potatoes cut into julienne...

Hello! Im a new member from Sweden that want to learn more about kitchen knives. Especially about paper steels that I like! For an example, which angles can aogami #2 being able to handle? As thin as 10 degrees per side?
