Ed’s hometown
bingo. i think we should convince Edd to do a KKF massdrop for steak knives and these plates in a bundle!Ed’s hometown
the light color material is too easy to stain and the black color material is too hardNeed Hasegawa steak plate
EddworksSpeaking of steak knives, I was looking for the perfect wooden plates and found these ones that are hand-made in Holland, MI. Does the name of that town ring a bell?

And the problem is…?I just bought a Heldqvist paring to use as steak knife...if I keep telling myself these small knives can all be used as steak knives, I will probably end up using 5 steak knives on a single steak...
If I didn’t have a standard I would have bought it. I am contemplating finishing up my choil and spine though. What did you use to do it?Shindo offers the best value buy out there. Polish the choil and spine and they’re really something! I’ve given a couple as gifts - never fail to impress.
Haha, I already have a standard Shindo Nakiri, which is plenty of height for my needs.
220 gyuto, 170 nakiri, Tall nakiri, 165 bunka (rehomed)I've got the 2nd last one.
I have now officially got more Shindo to dethrone the cult leader @SwampDonkey

And I bought 3 of my groomsmen Shindo nakiris...methinks the title stays home a bit longer
I am sure that there is more sophisticated equipment for chamfering etc but I just used sandpaper.If I didn’t have a standard I would have bought it. I am contemplating finishing up my choil and spine though. What did you use to do it?
Spoiled ass righties...Thought this would’ve sold much quicker….. to be a right handed person

I would really caution against starting any sort of conversation with @SwampDonkeyMy man!
I appreciate your kind of enabling.
I did similar for my wedding. Gesshin Stainless Petties laser engraved for my wedding party.
Oh padawan, you have so much more room to grow. It only really starts to feel like a problem after 25 or so knives. Don't worry, you'll get there.I would really caution against starting any sort of conversation with @SwampDonkey
Dude is by far the filthiest enabler on kkf. It all started with 1 nakiri, and 38 pages later, I suddenly found myself ending up with 5 Shindo, 2 okubo, 1 Yoshikane, 1 Shihan and 2 Eddworks.

Sadly there are more than 1 filthy enabler lurking around, I've blown past the 25 marks a long time ago LoL but swamp is still the worstOh padawan, you have so much more room to grow. It only really starts to feel like a problem after 25 or so knives. Don't worry, you'll get there.
I’d be happy to save you from the evil donkey, let me take the Okubo Shihan and Edd works off your hands…the donkey is attracted to these things. If you give them me, he’ll loose interest in youI would really caution against starting any sort of conversation with @SwampDonkey

This filthy enabler helped me into a 270 Unshu Yukimitsu and, just yesterday, a Shindo tall nakiri. Be forewarned!*rubs hands together *
Just need to get him on Munetoshi and Unshu Yukimitsu then my work is complete.
I think I have been inadvertently knife stalking you. The only one I am missing is Unshu Yukimitsu. In fact, I am wholly unfamiliar with him.*rubs hands together *

@deltaplex was my own enabler on this one, if I recall correctly.

I got a custom 230x51 k-tip. It's about the closest thing to a laser I still own, about 3 mm at pinch but tapers to 2 FAST gets super thin BTE and has a scary thin tip. Did a bit of write up in the Mirepoix Musings competition
Lovely steel, I can get it sharper than anything else in my collection and it is legitimately serotonin-inducing to rub on a coticule. Feels pretty hard on board but not glassy on stones. Buttery.

Yeah it's a bit of a specialist tool for me these days. It is exceptional on softer stuff, likely my best, but isn't fun on hard dense sweet potatoes or butternut. Like one cut will laser through but the next will want to get suctioned in to the butternut. It's weird. Better than my Yoshi 240 though. I just don't love that feeling on a thinner knife so I get spooked and reach for a certified squash buster in that scenario.I have the kensaki from him
It’s an amazing cutter but suffers from a bit of stiction
Do you have the same issue with the gyuto?
That just sounds like good informed decision making to me.I would really caution against starting any sort of conversation with @SwampDonkey
