J-knife vs. Custom

[Brian Weekley]

This thread sort of reminds me of my friend who says he likes blondes but won’t have anything to do with a brunette. I guess somebody should tell him that they’re all brown at the root. Oh well ... we all get there in the end. It’s just a matter of time.

at the root.

@NO ChoP! Sorry for the off-topic...
Brian, it is a pure curiosity, but... Where is the root you are talking about?

The Iron Age and all its precursors and derivatives. One thing is certain all peoples have sought a better way to cut something.

I disapprove of this message, on the grounds that it is too diplomatic. You are either with us or against us. There is no middle ground. This....


... is the internet.

 

[Brian Weekley]

I totally agree with you ... so there!

Like many here, I started with Wustoff’s. Learned to sharpen early. Liked cooking so I bought a carbon pan. Liked the pan so I bought a carbon steel knife made in Japan. Liked the knife so I bought fifty or sixty more. Discovered KKF and at the recommendation of a KKF member bought a knife made by a western maker. Liked it so I bought fifty or sixty more. Still buy JKnives and western knives. I like them all, use them all and sharpen them all. Don’t sell my knives ... they’re all members of my immediate family. Traded once (still regret it), have given a half dozen away.

Thatzit!

I could be wrong but I believe that @Brian Weekley was referencing the illusive chocolate starfish or
チョコレートヒトデ
Chokorētohitode

Ok ... lets throw these into the mix ... all prehistoric. Obviously wa handled ... but wait ... there’s a couple there that were definitely chipped (old style forging) by one of Bob Kramer’s fore bearers. The search for sharp has been going on a long time. So has a persons idea of the perfect blade shape and handle profile.
