Hi KKF Fam, It’s mountain bike season and I’m selling things that don’t see much use to support the hobby. These are great stones purchased direct from JKI but have been replaced by diamond or naturals at this point. All were permasoaked and have been drying for the past week in a cool...

Hi KKF, I’m making rounds through sanjo makers and have yet to try a KU Munetoshi or a KU Mazaki. I’ve read great things on both but don’t have the budget approval from the wifey to buy multiple knives to feed my curiosity. I’m torn on which to go for and realize they are probably more...

Hi KKF Fam, I bought this to try out Nihei's work and it did not disappoint. That said, I don't use rectangles that often so selling this one, but I will be adding a Nihei gyuto in the near future. Grind and F&F are top notch and the Sumiiro line provides a nice overall package. SLD steel...

Hi KKF Fam, I've started buying stones, it's a problem. To fund some of those purchases I'm offering my Wakui WH for sale. I got a good price on it here, and happily pass those savings on. $400 shipped CONUS. For those who aren't familiar with this line, they have got some serious beef behind...

Hi KKF, I decided to thin and polish my birgersson gyuto and ran into an interesting low spot that I'm a bit at a loss for how to address. I thought I'd ask those with more experience how they might approach this one. I started with a shapton glass 500 and quickly noticed this spot on the...

Hi KKF Fam, I'm finding that I like shorter nakiri's and longer petty's so putting these two solid performers up for sale. Pricing is shipped in CONUS. EDIT: Wat Sold Watanabe Pro 180mm Nakiri - $260 (SOLD) I purchased direct from Shinichi last year and it came a bit wedgy out the box with a...

Hey KKF fam, In the holiday spirit I spent a lot of money on knives and need some cash for gifts! Pricing this one to sell quickly and will only offer this price through the weekend. I bought this knife from Zahocho for $183 (after discount) as I was interested in trying out Nao Yamamoto's...

I was admiring the patina thread and was thinking about how the general consensus I've picked up (at least on this forum), is that there's a preference for carbon clad knives if the core steel is carbon. There's some notable makers who primarily make stainless clad knives w/carbon cores (e.g...

I'm on a Nakiri kick and this is calling to me. Nao Yamamoto kurouchi aogami#2 nakiri 180mm Looks great for the price, but I haven't been able to find much on the smith Nao Yamamoto. I'm tempted to just go for it but am interested in feedback from those that may have used his knives.

Hi KKF fam, Selling my Toyama Damascus 240mm blue 2 gyuto. It’s not getting as much use as it deserves and I’m looking to diversify my collection a bit and snag a 180mm Wat/Toyama nakiri. I’m the second owner and purchased from a WTB I posted earlier this year. It was unused when I received it...

Hi KKF fam, I could use some help comparing some nakiri lines. I know I may be splitting hairs but I’m looking to pickup a 180mm Wat/Toyama nakiri am curious about the differences (or lack there of) of the 3 lines I’ve seen available recently. I’ve read that the Toyama has a slightly...

Hi KKF fam, I’m looking for some Nakiri recommendations for my Mom. She’s close to a full vegetarian diet with meat every now and then. She is looking for a knife that’s a bit smaller than her current daily driver I got her which is a 210 Takamura r2. I’m not much into squares so wanted to...

What are some of your bold predictions in the world of kitchen knives? I’ll start.. Wakui will reach unicorn status in the next decade.

I’m in the middle of a project that calls for some serious thinning and I’ve been worried about losing the slight convex grind that it has. It got me thinking about how important that really is? I kind of understand the science behind why convex helps cutting performance but is it really that...

I have carbon steel pans and am now in the market for a new Wok. Budget around $100. Any recommendations of brands/woks you’ve used?

Hey KKF fam, Decided to post these here to see if any folks are interested. I'm selling my old work laptop and an iPad that I don't use. Macbook Pro $950, iPad $150, and the pair for $1k shipped in US. Macbook Pro It's in great condition and everything works well. I only used it for about a...

Hey KKF fam, I've been a little torn on whether or not to sell this one since I really enjoy the knife but I’m still in a spot where other things are a priority. I purchased from K&S about a month ago for $450 with the ebony handle. I've sanded the handle using a progression of 180, 320, 800...
