Ok, spill. What happened at Bernal?
PM'd you
Ok, spill. What happened at Bernal?
Are you referencing TF wh1 or AS?
I would buy a Toyama 240 gyuto
Toyama 240. Everything else is negotiable.
Toyama 240 gyuto
both most likely as I share the same thoughts for TF steel!
i would buy masamoto honyaki
yea those are pretty rare so gotta make em count. well in this nightmare scenario i would just force someone else to sell me theirs so that they too can experience this scenario.
Correct izinite.
Reason I say TF. I seen his laser knives and his workhorse knives and they are just the best cutters. I don't know why.
I'm surprised people don't refer to his white 1 like a Togo reigo and his blue like ... well I can't believe it's AS. More like ASs (aogami superior super) steel.
Have you tried his honyaki? I take it the forged geometry line is the stuff you like a lot?
I have not tried his honyaki, but I would love to. I've only tried his forged geometry stuff. It's brilliant.
If Catcheside were not an option, my very close second choice would be 240mm Toyama gyuto.
"You can only purchase one, which knife would you buy again?"
Catcheside 220mm thick grind gyuto
"You can only purchase from one maker"
Catcheside
"You can only choose one steel, which one?"
Catcheside's super high hardness 1.2442 tungsten carbon steel
Laser knives? Like the nashiji line? Or like all his lines have thicker and thinner knives (thickness variance)?

😂 😂 😂OK so start to sell me all your katos.. 😂 😂 😂my TF Denka 240! gets mighty sharp, stays sharp, stainless clad, excellent grind, good flat spot and despite the rusticness on the tang and bolster, the actual handle shape is rather comfortable. TFTFTFTFTFTFTF!
I would hesitate to call any TF knife a laser. Ground thin at edge and super sharp maybe. I liked my Nashiji the best, a great pure cutter, but with voids in the steel, grinds mismatched and uneven, horrible handle attachment and steel delamination. I liked it even with all its flaws, but just decided to move on to something more refined.

Well my knife will be a Kato off course.
hahha i know you love TF! my katos are for collecting
apicus, i have the not too chunky wat and it's the best knife i've ever laid my hands on. however i would not want it as my only knife, it's still heavy my takeda 270 would do better as an only knife, but still too big plus a smaller takeda defeats the purpose of one.
You don't use them? They really are built for deconstruction in my opinion. I've used a handful of knifes but I keep turning back to the Kato. Once the patina builds its essentially maintenance free, stays reasonably sharp forever.
