Are grown men really squabbling over toys here??? I think everyone is entitled to their opinion. One man’s trash can be another man’s treasure. If it works for you, then it works for you. But at the same time, this whole rabbit hole is just full of trick questions right? Because at the end of...

Some surface photos

A bunch of stones that I used the hell out of, but don’t really need anymore. 1. Aizu: textbook Aizu. Easy to get a slurry. Leaves an edge that is about 4000 grit with a good amount of bite. And quite fast. About a 3 hardness. 213 x 72 x 62 Asking: $350 shipped 2. Narutaki suita: a rare...

I’m from California. Been living in Texas for a year. Many things are actually smaller in Texas.

What?

Ended up getting one of them 10 inch Damascus ones. I was getting tired of the usual Japanese profiles and wa handles, and needed something different and exciting. Not really looking forward to the thinning though.

Does anyone own one of those narrow Bob kramer production knives? Are these really the best production knives in the world? Can I see a choil shot?

Oh, it was more than just the face. It was his expression. The confidence. Confidence that is very different from teruyasu fujiwara’s arrogance. Bill burke gives off the feeling of, “I’ve got nothing to hide. Just cut with my knives and it’s going to be impossible for you to go back to...

Couldn’t tell you. This is the only knife I own from a master bladesmith. And to be really dorky, I only bought it because I was drawn to Bill Burke’s face. Something about his face just tells you that he is a legendary craftsman. Could be the mustache…

Yes. Very experienced. I just cut some carrots and potatoes with it. As expected, it wedged through the hard veggies because this isn’t exactly a thin knife. Even kiyoshi kato will wedge through hard veggies over time. Even with very good thinning. But that’s besides the point. There is...

Well I bought it because of all the hype. But like all hype, you don’t know if it’s real or not until you experience it yourself.

Hopefully it is all that… or it would’ve been a serious waste of money

So this knife is supposed to have an edge that gets sharp like no other, and be able to hold that edge like no other, while still being plenty tough, and easy to sharpen. It does have a nice weight, is very stiff, appears to have a good profile, but not that thin. Kind of thick behind the edge...
