Tanaka x Kyuzo extra height

@Yoshi
I have. It felt like some of the other nice carbon steels I have used in 52100, C105, 135Cr3, 125sc, 145sc, etc. Hard and crisp, but never felt brittle or chippy. Edge life was good, but ApexUltra and Magnacut are on another level as you might suspect.

It's not the AS but aogami 1 tho, just saw on FB that he has a new line using that

I don’t really do lasers anymore but this is one I regret selling / miss

Ah! I read Takada instead of Takeda!

His AS is a bit of a pain to sharpen. Maybe B1's a little easier??

Have 2 and I’m tempted to buy it

Hida Tools has the elusive Takamura 150mm R2 petty in stock. I was just in the store and they had three…now they have two

Forgive my ignorance. Could one of you fine folk give me the low down on Kagekiyo? I've only been at this about a year and somehow this maker just entered my awareness in the last week or so as I have seen several posts hereabouts regarding them. They tend to live in the $400-$700 zone. What makes them special such that they live in the upper mid range sharing space with the likes of Tanaka, Togashi, Doi, et al.

Tanaka and nakagawa forging, really good sharpening by nishida, myojin, and new sharpener max. Great fit and finish. Really thin grinds. Cool urushi handles. About sums it up. Just a really nice ground y. Tanaka

Various lines, diff sharpeners, diff smiths, I like that they seem to try cool interesting things with handles. Well regarded brand that always has excellent fit & finish.

Great sakai shop -

Aogami #1 is Tanaka - Nishida (probably) - Hollow wide bevel with great meat on spine
Ginsan is Nakagawa - Myojin - is a Nakagawa myojin (shrug)
Max is new

Ah that explains it. it shares space with Tanaka because it IS a Tanaka (and others like Nakagawa, etc) Thank you! And that's...

Got a link?

Interesting after switching to Aogami Super in the early 2000s that Takeda would go back to Aogami 1. I had a really old nakiri that was Aogami 1 and it was really nice steel. I also love their Aogami super though

Ah I think I read the post wrong, it was an old stock.

Im also curious to know. Literally why I’ve been avoiding uk makers too.

There is nothing extra to pay for items under 800USD

Tanaka x Kyuzo extra height

https://www.aiandomknives.com/colle...gaki-gyuto-240mm-ziricote-handle-extra-height

Man, I'm surprised that this is still here considering Tanaka Kyuzos used to sell out in a blink of an eye. (I know it's an extra height version but that ziricote handle is also choice to my untrained eye.) If I was newer to the hobby then I think I'd have picked this one up but alas now it's in nice custom territory pricing-wise.

It's a really nice one, but then I'm like...do I need another Y. Tanaka blue 1? And then I realized if I always want one, they pop up for at least like $100 less than that on the secondary. I think the $500-$550 range would be more fair

Dan Prendergast has some new knives up, including a 262mm integral, "Long Boy", which now mine. Ho ho ho.

Any experience y’all have had with his grinds or W1 as a steel? It look mighty tempting - the wrought clad stuff is so pretty!
