    PM sent, interested in both Isa's, but especially the petty.

    Beautiful blade. But 500 grams and an ugly handle? No thanks, I'll pass :-)

    How Important is it to you that your knife is forged?

    Another ignoramus here. I don't know of any performance differences, but I'm still awed by the skill of forging a beautiful, high performance knife from a rectangular piece of steel. Stock removal just feels too industrial to me. I'm painfully aware that this is irrational, but I don't care. I...

    Traded Birgersson 244 mm gyuto for 210 mm gyuto by western makers

    Thanks. Did you sell yours? I noticed you put a very nice one up for sale right when I decided to post mine :)

    Traded Birgersson 244 mm gyuto for 210 mm gyuto by western makers

    Hi all, while I love my BB short guyto (or "tall petty" for KKF'ers) to death, I've never been happy with the 244 mm one, it's just too big for me. Instead of it gathering dust, why not trade it for one I would actually use? I would be interested in 190-210 mm gyuto's from well-known western...

    I'd bet these knives will never, ever cut any food.

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    Just a quick note: Made a noodle salad yesterday with julienne'd carrots, daikon, snack peppers, and cucumbers, as well as chopping some other greens. I would normally use a nakiri for this, and I think this is really where the Huber shines. I expected it would feel a bit big for doing precision...

    Are You a Freak?

    Same for me - I mostly use 180-ish gyutos and nakiris, occasionally my 210 gyutos. I almost never reach for my single 246 mm gyuto, I haven't found anything it does better than the shorter ones.

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    A few first impressions after using the knife for one dinner (Porchetta with oven potatoes, corn cobs, haricot verts and tomato salad): Looks I love how this knife looks. I do prefer the rougher look over more polished looks, and this one pulls off the aesthetics perfectly. It looks like a tool...

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    Yeah, that was bad, but I was pretty bummed out myself. I've now sent a long, angry letter to the postal service, which I'm pretty sure no one will ever read :-)

    Knife findings

    I have the same feeling. I have loved the feel of a good kitchen knife as long as I remember, but it is still a tool to me. I have no problem using 500$ on a knife that brings me joy daily in the kitchen. I would even pay 1000$ for a knife from a maker showing great craftmanship, knowing I could...

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    Some pictures of the "competition" - the knives I will be comparing it with. Note that it is far heavier than any comparable knives in my collection, so it's really apples and oranges - but still, this is my frame of reference, so I guess still relevant. From bottom to top: Huber - I measure...

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    So, home from work and have unpacked the knife - all is good. Took a few pictures, but obviously you all know what it looks like by now :-) Took a couple of stickers and a business card from the stash as well. Knife out of the Saya. Looks unharmed and still plenty sharp, so I won't sharpen it

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    Very happy to say that the package showed up, safe and sound. Very embarassed to say that it was exactly where @Neutri told me it was - his tracking app said it was located at a local store, but mine said it was being delivered at my address. I don't know why I didn't check out the store instead...

    MH Passarround - Nakiri 173x63mm

    I'm sorry to say that it appears the Danish postal service has lost the package. @Neutri sent it last week, and it arrived already Friday, much quicker than I expected - unfortunately no one was at home when the package arrived, so I expected I could pick it up after the week-end, but never got...
