Anyway, I don’t want to be all mouth and no trousers, so here’s my hastily shot contribution to this theme. The combination of two internet faves: cats and TF, proved impossible to resist

I like cats.

Is that a santoku or just a really flat TF?

It is a santoku. It is the best santoku i own

It is the only santoku i own

Same old knife. It will be going into (hopefully short term) retirement as catering "season" comes to a close.

It does a hell of a job on wedding cake as well - 285mm and virtually stainless.

Got some weekly prep to do. Time to find out how my new edge performs...

One can only wonder how many times the side of a spoon handle has been tapped against the lip of that pot!

What’s that one?

Hinokuni Shirogami #1 180mm Santoku

I was looking at that one and a couple more that look similar, figured it had to be one of them. How is it?

Only had it a few days and I while I have growing experience with Japanese knives, I still don't have a ton to compare to, so take all that into consideration.

The ferrule is plastic and after a little handling, I do notice the step between the wood but in no way does it bother me in use (pinch grip). The OOTB edge was sharp but inconsistent and needed work, which obviously at this price point is no big deal. It's thin at the spine and very lightweight and nimble. The profile is pretty flat. Reactivity hasn't been bad at all. This example is more consistent than my Tadafusa 180mm gyuto at around the same price point.

I originally ordered a Muneishi but there was a mix up and I received this guy. It is great for me as I'm still experimenting somewhat. And I think this knife falls into that category, or the get-the-most-out-of-it type work category. I like it, but at ~$120USD, folks looking for a more long term knife could toss in another $30-50 or so and see some notable gains.

That help?
