Knife findings

[myguidingmoonlight]

How does a mono differ from San mai when cutting? Or the only difference is only noticed when you thin the knife?

It's generally harder to thin a mono knife compared to sanmai, because the cladding is softer than the core.

Mono knives, anecdotally, feel a bit more solid and rigid on the board and they don't flex as much as sanmai.

All these western Yoshis hitting the market makes me think they're about to release a batch of them

Thats not a petty it's a paring knife. 75mm for $550. Where do people get these numbers? Flipper indeed.

 

[M1k3]

Where do people get these numbers?

Two words.

Crack. Dealer.

 

[superworrier]

I think if you look at what a wa Yoshikane dammy petty costs today and factor in it's a Western that is not produced anymore I can kind of see where they got that number from. But you can only get flipper prices out of gyutos, not paring knives.

Could be a nice gyuto for Barbie.

We plan to continue exploring this kanna-clad theme, but with Ryan taking a step back from full time knife making it will be an extremely limited series. I don't expect another example this year.

Sounds like I've got time to save up for an integral for next year. Hopefully

Has anyone purchased from this outfit?
Description is a bit confusing

He has a pass around going on right now. Responses seem very favorable. It prompted me to order a custom. He has been great to work with thus far!

That gyuto he has up for sale looks solid!

 

[sanmateo]

what do people think of his AEBL with the western handle?

it's a flat grind, so possibly won't have quite the performance one might demand of a custom.

Thought the same, scooped it. Excited for this one, nice to try a newer maker

Profile really reminds me of a Mazaki… all jokes aside

Have 2 knives from him and they are steals for the price. They cut beautifully and feel great in hand. Good taper as well. Have that western maker feel to them IMO.

Is either of yours in AEBL?

Probably a solid choice for the price & if you like a western chef design’.

I have a nakiri and gyuto and absolutely love both. Also loved the gyuto in the passaround

That price is really good

67$ shipping to the us is a hard pill to swallow

Wild that two people backed out of Kamons recently. Who backs out of a Kamon custom slot?!? Is Venus retrograde or something? (see his IG for #2)

 

[Genghis_F]

Is there a custom a custom slot available?

And yes, my GF tells me Venus is retrograde
So you may be into something!

 

[mockit]

Already asked. The answer is definitely no lol. Good to know. That explains 100% of this.
