    Mazaki

    Not sure you´re looking for 240mm,210mm etc. but this shop in germany has a 210mm KU with the same profile (by the looks): mazaki-white-2-nashiji-gyuto-210-mm You could send it on to the handle maker afterwards?

    Knife findings

    Of course not and hats not what i said; ignoring the last sentence which was half a joke. He might not be and i hate judging but he is using aggressive marketing to move his stuff fast. And i seriously doubt the quality when i see a santoku made out of B1 steel with a fancy handle below 100$...

    Knife findings

    I am more worried about how the bladesmiths manage to turn a profit with greedy distributors like that. Or better how the bladesmiths adjust the quality long-term to be able to make blades at that price. It is real easy to see that pushing prices further and further down is neither good for the...

    A few words about the K-Sabatier 200 series

    Looks like a very interesting series! Not that I need anymore knives! Guess they wanted to say something else here. (sent them a text) "The G10 is a very durable material and very sensitive to water, cold, heat, rot or corrosion."

    You think so? Which ones? I find prices reasonable. And they have lots of stuff that you cannot get anywhere else, like the Togashis and the iron-clad Wakuis. Other shops would flip such knives much more i think.

    the Dullard

    Dullest is an old steak knife from grandparents (top), still good for many things! The paring knife underneath is actually very sharp. From Zwilling, some kind of molybdenum steel. Easy to sharpen because its a sheepfoot/straight blade and stays sharp forever. Would definitely get something...

    What Camping/EDC to get?

    There is a foldable Messermeister reviewed here: Camping knives reviews i like the off-grid grizzly but have a hard time ignoring its name. If you want to look as cool as those guys in the instagram outdoor cooking videos, the bush slicer near the end of that page would do. This one does...

    Knife findings

    Steel by Lundbergs webshop is full of nice knives at the moment. Love Jacob Hedbergs work especially with the kurouchi, 26C3 core, nickel and stainless clad.

    Wood identification

    Does the board need sanding at all? Very dirty (unknown) marks, deep scratches etc.? Otherwise I wouldn´t bother and just wash (water and a little bit of soap, always both sides!, especially when not oiled or unknown state, or else it can warp/break etc.), let dry (wipe off and let it stand...

    What Camping/EDC to get?

    Not an expert on EDC/camping stuff but I would argue that there thousands of knife just like the James Hell Gap which are much cheaper. Had a Helle knife and they are super thick. Anything like onions or even denser stuff won´t be ANY fun to cut. And yes, rather get a big opinel for your food...

    Wood identification

    Yes, point 1 surely is true for linseed oils too. (purity) Tung oil has to be cured to be food safe though if I remember correctly which takes up to 30days. Linseed oil is edible anyway. I did not know that linseed oil hardens the same way as tung oil. Wood that I treat with linseed oil, has to...

    Wood identification

    1. Tung oil has to be the pure kind(check bottle and safety datasheet). There are many oils with tung oil in them that are not food safe. 2. Tung oil properly hardens and thus if you have tung oil near the surface it will influence the hardness of the board (in a negative way)

    Wood identification

    Hard to tell from the picture, I mean, what does it feel like? Is it kinda smooth? As for oiling, I use linseed oil ("Leinöl") as we eat it regularly anyway.

    Knives....and WIP's...

    Ah, understood. Must be great to forge yourself but also a big investion. You can buy laminates of course! I know michael knot uses stainless cladded aogami super from Takefu. I actually prefer monosteel, at least to some iron clads. Often these clads are very pure and thus very reactive. I see...

    Knives....and WIP's...

    Change vegetables now and then or you will end up orange. If you alternate wirh celery onions and tomatoes, you could make big batches of bolognese and fill up the freezer too.

    WTS /WTT : Watanabe sujihiki/petty/small gyuto 180x39mm

    Hi, lettings this one go. Pretty much a perfect small knife but I have to realize (once again) I don´t use pettys much. I put a microbevel on it but other than that LNIB. The knife came with the "scuff" at the choil. 180x39mm, weight is 115g, stainless clad B2. EU preferred. Paid 38500yen...

    Tetogi just got in two 210 pettys as well although buying from the EU might of course not be your cheapest option. Ashis at Tetogi
