Decided to use my Ryan Swanson tuned TF Maboroshi petty to remove silver skin on beef cheeks. It’s amazing what a really sharp knife can do.

They work fantastic for stones too. Well… synthetics I suppose. Probably wouldn’t be able to fit a giant natural in one of those slots.I never thought about using those bamboo plateholders (at least that's what Ikea calls them) as a knife holder. I originally bought some of them to store cutting boards, which didn't really work since half of mine were too thick, but I might give this a go.

Is this an older Misono? I bought an old looking heavily used and sharpened one that says “Swedish Steel” and the current ones say “EU carbon steel”, but I haven’t seen one that says “EU Swedish steel”.Dragon v. lamb leg for a curry…

God I bet that thing is ridiculous. I am a cleaver lover and massive Kamon fan so that’s right up my alley. How heavy is it?Every time I try and cut cabbage with anything else, I inevitably get a few cuts in and switch to this

Heh, it’s a respectable 520 grams.God I bet that thing is ridiculous. I am a cleaver lover and massive Kamon fan so that’s right up my alley. How heavy is it?
Oh my God!Heh, it’s a respectable 520 grams.
Lol, solid titanium handle will do that.Oh my God!
Oh I believe that. That would a total mind fk for me, I use my CCK cleaver every day. But I totally get it. My Kamon is probably 100 heavier than other knives of that size and the weight definitely works in its favor. Would you send me a choil shot of that bad boy?Lol, solid titanium handle will do that.
I grab it more than my other, lighter cleavers tho. The weight makes for some very calming, zen-like push cutting, where all I have to concentrate on is setting the knife and letting it fall.
Ohhhh mama. You ever want to re-home that you just let me know sir. God his knives are amazing. I know we all know that but sometimes it just needs to be said.
