New House Knife

[BillHanna]

I have a Mercer that’s getting retired. The Masakane is the Knife of the Week at Bernal. The Nihonkou seems to be the same knife. Is it?

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

I can't help with the specific knife buddy but my Masakane honesuki is a great value. I really like the steel and the grind is excellent. It skimps on F&F but the price reflects it.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Masakane if it fit what I was after. Besides, they don't make 'em any more.

Relative to a range of 90-180 that is a “big” knife.

She might miss the neoprene handles from the Mercers, but.....oh well.

UPDATE

She’s pissed. “What’s up with these impostor knives!?”


Right. The sharp knives are impostors. Sure, Jan.

 

[tostadas]

The non knife ppl I know really love my victorinox 5inch "chef knife". Comfy handle, decent profile for board work, relatively durable, and most importantly... Cheap

Dexter Chinese chef, those are build like tank.

I WISH she’d use a cleaver.

They got thrown in the sink.


The sink. Filled with water.




*insert thousand yard stare here*

“I have always seen you set knives on the side.”


“I had a clear sink of water. I didn’t know they were steel.”

No pitting, but they need help. At least the water was clear, so she saw it happen and did her best.

I see marriage counseling in your future.

"And then she left the new carbon steel knife in the water."

"Well, if he would of just left my Mercer alone..."

The Pro M 240mm was one of knives I reccom. to culinary students. Use as pass around several students bought them. Bought a new one cuz pass around sold.

Then COVID hit never went back to teaching.

Knife isn't mentioned on KKF has a nice grind & comfortable handle is a good cutter.

Forgot I had it been in a drawer few years never used.

240 used to sell for 100.00 with a saya, later dropped the saya same price still a good blade for the coin.

It's about the war and not the battles brother. My wife kept rejecting everything I tried, even a thinned 6" Wusthof, for years. But she's coming around and even loves her Murata aogami paring knife now.

Years.
