Shaving when not using my Murray Carter butter knife

If you're gonna use an ura as a shot luge, grab that dammy kiritsuke from @NotThinEnough for maximum flex.Using the concavity to funnel shots of malort into my mouth
Maybe chicken butchery? I have used my Mioroshi for that and it was nice but that’s not nearly as brutal a knife as a regular Deba.
I picked up some single bevels knives over the last year to try them out and to be honest, as nice as they are to sharpen and use, they're basically useless for anything but their intended uses. yes you might get away with light chicken butchery but you'd have to be extremely careful and it's pointless, I'd rather use my honesuki anyways.
I had the same experience with an usuba, I really wanted to use one and I used it as a vegetable (and even raw protein) slicer for a while, but it made me realize I just wanted a Chinese cleaver, which was much better at everything I used it for.
my point is, you'll see a lot of these threads around. long story short, you're probably better off not using them because they're built to excel in very specific tasks, nothing else.
They're still fun to sharpen though
How then do honesuki's compare to garasuki's (presuming both having the same bevel configuration, i.e. single-bevel or highly-asymmetric double-bevel)?honestly, a single bevel or highly asymmetric honesuki is more versatile, great at poultry, cleaning up big cuts of meat, decent at fish. A deba(180mm+) can do the other things too, but not as well
Only took half a day to destroy that chicken
I've never tried this, nor would I want to or recommend it.
I'd like to hear the opinion of our resident self proclaimed influencer @Carl Kotte on thisI think this is another YouTube influencer! Good music, sexy knife and striped cutting board implies good content.
