Knife findings

[M1k3]

Nothing: lots of meat on big birds. I just figured the super sized kanji on the jns version perhaps weren’t a deal breaker (or at least not something that spoke in favor of getting the jns over getting the cc version). They’re both deliciously ugly and good looking in their own right, I think.

Not really. But why not go for in your face beautiful ugliness?

True! The jns version has that going for it! The cc version looks more Tosa. It tries to blend in and look decent; it just can’t.

OK So first thoughts on the Munetoshi gyuto 240 from CC. It is an ugly knife that lacks attention to details but it will cut decently. The kurouchi is nice but the sandblasted finish of the edge with a shiny hagane makes for a cheap feel of mass production. I will put it to the stones and try to put a hazy kasumi for a more natural rustic feel.
The profile has a raised heel and runs with an uneven belly from heel to tip. Uneven because It has a flat spot in the middle.
The knife is not thick and it doesn't wedge. It cuts well and it is ok functionaly. But it's not something to enjoy visually as a thing of beauty or masterfully made. It's just a knife with a decent steel that will get the job done. For the price payed it is worh its money!
Would I buy a honyaki from Munetoshi? No!
Would I buy another Munetoshi butcher? Yes!

Well I have the 210 Munetoshi Honyaki, it's a completely different ballpark to the 240 KU. Really nimble super thin tip, precision like knife. Was curious and bought it on April sale. I really like it.

Epicurean Edge... Beat that.

I'll likely never get anything from EE unless someone links me to exactly what I want. The site makes me feel like someone secretly slipped me a lot of bad drugs, and it manages to give me anxiety and confusion just trying to browse.

I'm 33, was raised on/by the internet, and visiting that site makes me want to lock up all of my devices and go for a hike.

 

[Carl Kotte]

Why you do this CC!
Meh, when it's time to pull the trigger, I'll flip a coin. Unless one is out of stock...

I’m not sure about price differences after conversion, but the cc is like 180$ where the jns is like 240$ in my currency. The Swedish krona is pretty weak against the Danish.

 

[Carl Kotte]

And I would definitely buy a Munetoshi Honyaki.

I grew up with the beginning of geocities/angelfire/early internet caveman websites. It reminds me of that but with better pictures.

I've found the search function is slightly less frustrating to find stuff versus their "menus".

Last I checked within the week, CC was like $40-50 cheaper. Plus I don't have VAT.

Is his Blue that good?

For that price, you can buy all his W2 KU listed at KW + head over to Sharp and pick up a 270 KU suji and 150 KU petty as well.

I just bought a wat with an overpriced handle so I'm out. To be fair though someone bought a similar custom from wat with no handle and I think the one in specials was only about $40-$60 more.

For that price you could buy a pizza cutter. And a few pizzas.

What’s the over/under on that thing selling at 1640. Let’s start a pool.

 

[labor of love]

The choil shot on that maz is gross. No wonder Cornab has been upset all week.

He had two I believe lol. Someone bought one. I remember looking and I swear it said 2 in stock. Now it says one left. I browsed for S&G’s but nothing good really man. I’m sure someone will pick that maz up though. Crazy

 

[Gregmega]

I also just looked a little closer at the bevel and edge- confused as to why it’s not polished all the way for that price. Like I wouldn’t want stray scratches on the core if I spent 1640 bucks

Horrible I love my maz man lol. The blue 240 I have is thick (non dammy) but that dammy knifewear has is awful.

Dammy isn’t that exciting either. For the price man that thing is disappointing finish wise.

 

[Corradobrit1]

Hard pass on that KW Maz Dammy. Looks like a real clunker

 

[Gregmega]

 

[panda]

looks pretty good

 

[Gregmega]

Yeah choil looks fine. The unfinished bevel is confusing. But tbh I still haven't found a single high def pic out there yet other than that choil shot. Wonder why that is.

 

[labor of love]

This is what I see at Knifewear. Pretty cringe.

 

[Gregmega]

Where’s that from? The one I posted came from the Dutch site.

Are there any closer shots of the bevel??? Cause that’s a fkn travesty compared to the old stuff. Good fkn gravy.
