Knife findings

[labor of love]

Blade F&F up there with the best available. However the handle install was shonky. That was approx 4-5 years ago so hopefully its improved.

I just don’t enjoy the undersized Sakai 240mm size. Even some of my fave knives ultimately weren’t keepers because I don’t enjoy 230mm blade length.
Hell, even this TF that’s 242-243mm feels not long enough lol.

I think 26mm makes a difference. Most women would agree.

Cleancut apparently now stocks Munetoshis for pretty cheap.

Totally different sizes and kanji. If they didn’t mention it as munetoshi, you wouldn’t be able to recognise it.

Really? I can’t remember the kanji on my old JNS munetoshi 240mm, but this gyuto looks identical to it.

I feel like I would be terrified to use it. How thin the S is and how expensive it is.

Agreed. And remember this is a chopper.

Knifewear has a River Jump 165mm santoku if anyone's ready to buy.

That's... bonkers. It's 486gm for the 230x100mm, so that top section is actually really thick, but still, it's hard to believe that will actually survive use.

His handle is also much heavier than most Japanese knives with the metal end caps and "pommel" tang. Still a lot of blade heft though.
I'm seeing a lot of s grinds getting ridiculously thin and it's making me wonder when is the durability affected? A friend sent me an orion blade picture a day or so ago and it looks like the thickness would barely register on my calipers.

Sharp Knife Shop has two Rover Jump Santokus.

Well someone is feeling lucky. Both cleavers sold. Good luck to the buyer of the wasp waist chopper.

Those measurements are pretty similar. Looks similar to the ones on JNS as well. Even the descriptions are similar lol. Only kanji looks different.

I can’t believe how fast these are selling. Eating tools must ha e some serious heavy hitters in their mailing lists.
Personally I don’t see the attraction for Dentys, even at a much lower price than the ask.

I like his work but keep thinking how hard it would be to dry those dents after washing...

Are there 2 river jump series? Knifewears is much cheaper and the pattern is half the blade face.
knifewears much more but full length pattern?
is there an unryuumon range as well?
