Or fishhooks.

Most of us remove the stickers I think, so why not ask the forum members to carefully remove a sticker for you the next time someone gets a new TF? Should only cost you a stamp.

It’s stunt honing, no reason to do it except to have some fun.

Here’s mine, Moritaka nakiri

Maybe an example from a non-knife forum would help. There is a shaving forum where someone was selling a Wolfman Double Edge razor. There are several models but the nicer ones go for around a $1,000 more or less, and they are hand machined by a single master machinist and finished like jewelry...

I sent a message to a friend about straight razor characteristics. He showed it to his wife, and she said something like ‘That's all english, but I have no idea what’s being said.’

Looks like a French brunoise of a glue stick is in order.

I see a common reasoning in the thread that I have with blades. For knives in the kitchen, a Denka or Takeda is about the limit. But if a nice 210 Shig kitaej came up, that might be an exception (I have a 180). But I don’t use the Shigefusa that often because it’s pretty much an irreplaceable...

The corners on the Glass Stones have been an issue because of the cardboard boxes, Occasionally arrive with a chipped corner. The Rock Star is supposedly the same material as the Glass Stones and the care directions are the same. The 5-6m soak is new, but I always let a little water sit on most...

Here’s Tony ….. Kind of like Old Bay for Cajun country. The regular version is quite salty, so you will want to check the saltiness of your food before you add any more salt. They also make a lower salt version.

Bet you could do it with crawfish and Tony Chachere’s, kind of NOLA style.

Might try contacting Takeshi Aoki at AFramesTokyo in Honolulu, he has knives and stones though maybe not so much stainless clad. Worth a try though.

Get rid of the packaging and wash the knife. I ordered some ebony handles from him and noticed the smell. Somebody there must smoke like a wood-fired steel mill.

It’s kind of a joke post. Most of the mines are closed now, and have been for a long time. But there is a lot of stone in storage facilities awaiting to be released from the closed mines.

Bid high guys, according to the seller, it’s the last natural stone in Japan! Yeah right.

Fujiwara will make at least a Denka, kind of to your specs, IOW, a little taller, a little thinner, a better handle, etc. Not quite like a fully tailor made suit, more like the ‘pre-fab’ suit that is made to be adjusted for you. I take it from the Fujiwara website that they will make uncommon...

I’ve hd a lot more steel, both razors and knives across the Rockstar 4k. I think that it’s probably closer to the 4k HR Glass than my original assessment, though I still think that the RS ’acts’ a tiny bit coarser than the 4k Glass Stone. It’s close enough to not matter really, the only reason...

I told him the same thing. He believes that they should learn to use and maintain their knives. But a lot of times this doesn’t ‘stick’.

A friend of mine just got back from a new year’s visit to his in-law’s, he took a couple of stones because he knew that the knives would be dull. His brother-in-law’s wife cut herself.

What are the Japanese knives in ‘step 4’? They kind of look like Masahiros. I agree, the factory made JKnives are hard to beat for value, though they probably wouldn’t stand up as well to abuse as a plastic-handled stainless knife. One of the 3M’s monosteel carbon knives are quite nice if you...
