That's rough buddy...Did you end up keeping them all?
I don't have a single one of them anymore. But I'm very much a catch and release kind of guy.

That’s why people likes TF, you can make it worse!Confession: I have no idea where to start with thinning and scared that I'm gonna mess up my knives when they will inevitably need to be thinned
I had thinned 3 knives successfully so I felt pretty confident but then I tried to just do little bit of my Okubo gyuto tip and it cut waay worse. Turns out I'm not good enough on stones to recreate super convex voodoo yet. I got scared I botched a favorite knife so I sent it to JKIConfession: I have no idea where to start with thinning and scared that I'm gonna mess up my knives when they will inevitably need to be thinned

Yeah just the other day I realized some members that have never even owned a Teruyasu Fujiwara have commented 8 pages worth of complaints about his work.I see it everywhere, TF TF TF.
I have not hit the 1K mark on knives. That has been my rule so far… Curious if I am gonna break this anytime soon. Lol I am trying to imagine being in your shoes of owning a few $1K plus knives and not using them (out of fear you will break them or tarnish them?)."I prefer famous makers to more budget friendly knives"
"I bought many expensive knives in a short period of time"
"I have too many knives from one maker"
"I don't use my +$1K knives enough"
Y'all are just back door bragging. I laid it all out there, and now I look like a damn fool. Who else is brave enough for a real confession?

The kit in my roll that I've collected over the last two months is worth a modest $1300.lol that was almost 3 years ago.. and I reach for my trusty shun more than any other knife
updated confession: I haven't sharpened my knives in over a year
Yeah I’d love UX10 in swed carbon even pay UX10 price for that. UX10 does have sick profile unlike other Misonos.I’m a steel nerd. I started out with Misono but then I realised the Molydenum series are the cheap AF steel we know as Aus8.
I used to badly want a UX10 but I can’t spend that much on a budget 19c27 steel that they stamped.
Talk about poor value for money.
I’ve seen similar comments on Jiro’s too.Yeah just the other day I realized some members that have never even owned a Teruyasu Fujiwara have commented 8 pages worth of complaints about his work.

I got a Denka no Hoto after blind testing the knives....don't tell me price, not judging on finishing and looks. I wanted to see which knife had the nice handling.Yeah just the other day I realized some members that have never even owned a Teruyasu Fujiwara have commented 8 pages worth of complaints about his work.

It's still an ugly knife
The tip may have just cut worse from drag due to the new finish after thinning. Especially if your first test is cuts through a big onion. Okubo isn't too bad to thin IME, it has low spots but the bevels come with ugly deep scratches so you can't really make it look worse on the stones. Just raise the shinogi a little, hit the area behind the edge a little, then hit the middle of the bevel and follow the pre-existing grind. You're not going to mess up the pre-existing convex unless you try really hard. Here's a nakiri I thinned some before I traded it away b/c it was a lefty.I had thinned 3 knives successfully so I felt pretty confident but then I tried to just do little bit of my Okubo gyuto tip and it cut waay worse.
