Takeda cleavers are in stock at Homebutcher

Homebutcher has Takedas in stock https://homebutcher.com/search?q=takeda&type=product

The replies are funny, I should’ve asked why instead of when. Like anything else, it’s probably just personal preference. I like to use the cleaver when cutting through a head of cabbage because the tall height and weight seems make it go through straighter and easier.

After reading about ARM, I was thinking about getting a chuka bocho. I have a Shun Chinese vegetable cleaver that I rarely use because handling a smaller knife is easier for me. I was wondering if I would use a cleaver more if I had a better one. I have a bunch of Japanese knives (gyutos, a...

I just tried it out. I used the avacado oil spray from Costco on a Shibata Koutetsu gyuto. It didn’t make a difference, the onions still stuck to the knife. Although, if I used a pull cut instead of chopping up and down, food release was much better.

No vegetables at home, I’ll try it this weekend after we go grocery shopping.

I was just talking to a chef and he says that he sprays his knife with cooking oil before he has to cut 50 pounds of onions and this helps to reduce the onions from sticking to his knife. What do you think? I’m going to try it out later on when I get home.

I just received the Myojin 210. Knife is as described at a great price. Thank you.

I just received the Belgian blue whetstones/coticule from best sharpening stones. Items were as described. The 3 stones are about 3/4” thick.This is a legitimate website and I will probably buy from them again.

Good to hear, I was getting worried. This is the first time I bought from them.

Yeah it looks like the same picture. Kind of suspicious, so I did some research on the website and they had more bad reviews than good ones. They sent me a tracking # today, hopefully everything will be okay. I should’ve waited to receive the stones before I posted. If anybody’s interested I can...

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but I’ve had a hard time finding a Belgian blue/yellow Coticule whetstone combo. I just found a website that has free shipping and has a 12% Labor Day discount. They have a combo with separate blue and yellow stones 6” x 2”, I got it for $158 which...

I just received my knife today. He helped me to choose the knife that would suit my needs. Great seller, helpful advice and fast shipping. Thank you

Thanks, I just received the 240mm Shibata. This was my first purchase on this forum. VikiJaya made the process so easy. Great knife as described and fast shipping.

I decided to get this 240mm SG2 Shibata Koutetsu gyuto with Saya on the buy/sell/trade forum. I chose this because it’s crazy sharp and I’m fascinated with sharp knives. The price was also too good to pass up with the Saya included. Thanks for all for your help.

500 is the maximum that I’m willing to spend if the knife is worth it. I’d prefer to get one in the 2-3 hundred range. This will be my second J knife. The first one I purchased was a Yoshimi Kato Nakiri made from Aogami Super. I like cutting vegetables with it so I decided to get another good...

Can the magnacut knives be sharpened on a ceramic whetstone?

How does z wear and magna cut compare to aogami super and the powder steels? When I go to the online knife shops and I click on the steel types, I’ve never seen magma cut or z wear as an option. Do they have a different name that they go by?

Thank you everybody for your replies. I just submitted a review on chefknivesjapan.com and they gave me a 10% off coupon which even works on things that are on sale. I think their prices are fair. I’m not sure if this coupon will work for everybody but this is the code BTJKSreview.

Thank you, I tried to buy the hap40 sujihiki last week but I got no reply from the seller. That was such a good deal. After learning that carbon steel isn’t as rust prone as I thought, I want to look into the aogami super knives also.
