Stand your ground, man. Stand your ground.

“Uranium is a dense, hard metallic element that is silvery white in colour. It is ductile, malleable, and capable of taking a high polish. In air the metal tarnishes and when finely divided breaks into flames.”
This sounds awesome! I definitely need a uranium cleaver.

Trust me, save yourself the mental and financial strain. It is certainly gratifying but picking up beekeeping and j knives as my COVID hobbies at the same time was not ideal
Cuts & cooks at the same time
Tetogi just did a big tetsujin drop with multiple 210, 240, 270 and 300 kasumi gyutos. I got tempted but held off
I took some pollinator courses at work, since we use bees for pollen residue/pesticide studies on crops that are too hard to collect pollen by human hands. The gist from all the professional beekeeper/scientists was "this sucks, they never do what you want, it's constant headache"
Cured me of any hobby beekeeping aspirations.

PIE and HB are Olympic champions in that discipline.
eclectic handle tastes aside, how are Pie knives?
I can confirm that there's always something needing to be done with them or for them.

I have a pie gyuto I got from a mystery box. Really nice cutting laser.
Wow, how is that still there? I already snagged one from this latest drop otherwise I'd be all over this!

It’s only 50mm tall would be my guess. Which isn’t a bad thing. Surprised it’s only 187 grams.
Yeah I can see that. Crazy to me that 50mm is considered "short" but I know taller knives are definitely more popular. These dimensions look great to me, and this was on my short list at the drop, but went for the 250x52, 190g Kira instead.

His handles can run quite light ime, but it depends on the wood.

I was surprised by the weight, even assuming a light handle. That must be very thin.
Sometimes they make some amazing suminagashi:

A 270 from this same line was part of the release today at Stay Sharp as well:

I have always wanted to try a Nigara but the price turns me away. I handled a western handle Anmom bunka and was impressed. The F&F was tight and their grinds look like they are performers too. Their Ginsan damascus line is gorgeous and hard to find but much more reasonably priced (the dammy looks like wrought even though I know it isn't).

Looks like the price on those damascus blades increased substantially over the last they appeared.
They are more expensive than Hashimoto now..
Apparently Kurosaki Yu is doing folders now lol
