This is a review that was super pleasant to read and very well written 👌

I already follow you on Instagram but count me in buddy! Very generous of you. Will look to acquire one day some of your blanks ☺️

I can help you here since I often polish honyaki blades with sandpaper. There are two phases when I use sandpaper: hard backing and soft backing. Hard backing Just like @HSC /// Knives I use something super hard to put the sandpaper underneath. I have a large wooden bar with about 1/2 inch...

And to conclude my experience, here is the beginning of the patina on my knife. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this moment! I've meal prepped three times so far and I have to say it's nice to work with a slightly lower blade. I spoiled myself by pushing the sharpening up to 6k, I think...

I have never seen a patina as blue and uniform as this after an etch! It's really interesting and I'm learning lots of things. If I succeed in achieving what I have in mind, I think it will be magnificent!

This project is a little different but I put it here because it still requires the same type of polishing as a honyaki blade. I have the chance to polish my first wootz blade, courtesy of @Tekkz ! Thanks again man for choosing me 🙂 I will do a classic progression up to the mirror effect to...

Matt is a nice guy, super handsome, intelligent and an amazing man. Enough, now send me the damn blade! 🤪 I'm not saying that I will polish this awesome blade. Oh no, I'm not saying that 😇

This was supposed to be a one day project but obviously I ran out of time. But hey, it's done! I finished on Ohira iromono with Mizukihara uchigumori finger stone for the jigane. It's far from perfect but it's much more to my taste. But at least the knife is made stone ready and the geometry is...

Thanks uncle! I always enjoy creating the backstory and I think that's part of the experience of buying an artisan knife 🙂

There will be more to come 😬

SOLD! Technically the knife sold out in 3 minutes but I was on my way home. Thanks KKF! 🖤

Currently on hold! 😬

The third honyaki knife from the collaboration between me and Matt Sicard for is now available! The blade We had requests to make a longer knife and the message was heard! This time it's a 255mm gyuto with 26c3 steel. It's also a more special blade because Matt started water quenching (mizu)...

For me it's my most favourite part. I make myself a good pour over, I choose a new album to discover and I start rubbing. +1 if I do this in the morning without anyone while watching the sun rise.

In all honesty, for the price paid and especially for it being free forge, I don't see much negative to say! I wanted to have fun reconnecting with my jnats and at the same time trying a new blacksmith/profile so I'm more than happy. And I totally get it when you say "start to sing a bit after a...

I have just received my first knife from Yoshimitsu Kajiya in a 220mm gyuto version. The blacksmith behind it is Ide San and the steel is shirogami 2 with soft cladding. My first impression was good but more so as I looked at the knife and more so I found the presence of the famous wabi sabi...

It happens to me every week that a customer comes to see me to have their knives sharpened while at the same time they bring their pull through. The question is always the same: is it good for sharpening my knives? The answer I give is: if it were that effective, we wouldn't be here talking...

This is the handle which will be installed on the next honyaki blade from me and Matt. If someone asks me what my favorite style of handle is, it’s definitely this type. This Indonesian rosewood has raspberry hues and I think the match with the copper is really beautiful.

It's gonna be a fast one 🤪 GLWS!
