Knife findings

[tostadas]

Ah oops I did not mean it like that . I was mainly looking for a beater when I saw the extra height Migaki, not that knives in the price point (or caliber) of said Migaki are what I would consider a beater. I will post my rotation down the line but I plan on keeping them under the wraps for now.

I've been buying a lot of potential beater knives recently, but mainly because my definition of "beater" keeps changing depending on my mood.

 

[Gregmega]

Great point actually. I turned a Togashi Honyaki into a beater after promptly bouncing it off a table and onto the floor.

 

[Knivperson]

On the search for a J-knife beater and found this Tanaka Kyuzo Migaki Extra Height that I vaguely remember being posted (from another vendor) here a few weeks ago:

Try it. If you dont like it, throw it out. It's just a beater.

Now offering Greasy's beater disposal, buying beater knives for 10 cents a pound

Pics or it didn't happen?
Seriously thats the stuff of nightmares. Was it the Togashi you got from Strata?

It actually didn’t do any damage, just a glint on the edge. But it’s all I needed to convince me to use the f@“# out of it after dodging the biggest bullet in the honyaki universe. Frankly I’m shocked it didn’t break in half. Lumo was there and looked like he was about to puke . Sometimes these things remind us what’s more important I guess, or how to turn a honyaki into a beater in perception with a quickness

Bouncing it off the table first may have flattened its trajectory so it landed flat against the floor. Bullet dodged for sure.

Lucky lucky!

I managed to drop my Yoshikane and it landed right on the tip of course. Surprisingly just bent the tip instead of breaking. Instead of grinding it off I just pushed it back into shape so now it’s a little deformed but still works.

Came across these cool Morihei Hisamoto Fine-Finish (TF iron clad mab) petties while browsing Strata

I think Homebutcher has the exact same 240 for $500

Edit: $550

Yes and 210 for $510. Homebutcher will probably have another amazing discount sometime though.

The 240 was $398 just before New Years. Now if FedEx would stop dicking around and actually deliver the knife I'd be happy.

Thats true. With the last discount I got the 240 for under $400

Did they have kitaeji santokus in stock? Man I'd like one of those

It was there an hour ago but it seems like it's gone now. those kitaeji sold out quite fast.
It's taking all my mental strength not to buy the kasumi usuba 210mm that just got uploaded

 

[jedy617]

Man I would have bought a santoku in a heartbeat

I'm normally one that doesn't really experiment outside of the traditional White/Blue steels but god damn if there's a knife to do so...

Don't like the profile on this - it seems like it's very curvy, and it looks like the angle of the handle is going to be pretty high on the board.

Nihei hand Damascus in white 2. Went quickly from “I need this” to “I can’t afford this” upon clicking the link. At least the f&f is nice compared to another ex Yoshi’s hand dama.
