(Whats cooking? **** Making something fine and fancy?** Just plain good? Show us!), Masakane Vintage SK:

How are you liking the Masakane? Been on a bit of an NOS kick, lately, and these are tempting me...

Beautiful photography, too.

FWIW, I have a Masakane honesuki and really like it. The SK steel is nice and it's a performance-forward package.

It is quite nice, to be honest. I call it a refreshing alternative to a soulless Victorinox. Fit and finish is on par with any TF.

I’d say definitely worth the money as long as you don’t have to pay expensive shipping and customs/tax during import as I had to…

How is the bias on these? Would they work for a lefty?

I’ve asked CKC about that. They said only the edge is asymmetrical but the grind is 50/50

Tetogi in denmark carry Masakane though they don't have many available at the moment.
I do like SK steel very much. Have a Kanetsune 180mm gyuto and it really is one of my better knives at 40$ (>10y). SK steel is plenty good for the home cook i dare say.

Just a random stainless Nakiri from one of those used Japanese knife dealers on ebay, but it's super thin and seems to hold a super sharp edge. The occasion was my eldest daughter's birthday.

 

[mengwong]

The Japanese I don’t know – if anyone could help with those I would be grateful!

What's that wooden block with the grooves behind the heat gun? Is it to hold your knives during handle installation?

Tanaka x Yohei B1 fresh mirepoix patina.

And although the above knife is my 1 in April choice, no way was I taking it through frozen bacon.

 

[mockit]

I bet that Tanaka could have handled the bacon, but I would also not be the one to try it !

nice mazaki. 10” ?

Yup. I've had the 8" ZKramers, but the profile is better on the 10" - not as curvy.

It might have, but as the most expensive knife on my rack, I wasn't about to test it.

I have to start using mine. My Tanaka x Yohei been sitting pretty for almost 8 months now and have yet to taste the kitchen grind.

If you ever decide to let it go hit me up.

Had to make an exception to A1A, and use this Daou Vaou big daddy slicer to break down 70 lbs of pork butt into chunks for sausage. Handled it with ease. I sharpened it on a coarse jnat followed by monzen jnat.

How thick is that markin at the spine?

 

[Naftoor]

Just about 9mm out the handle, and a hair over 8mm above the heel
