Any chance we can get a better choil shot? But hard to tell what we're looking at here.

I am a terrible knife photographer. Here is one from Bernal Cutlery.

This image unfortunately doesn't tell me much. Not that a choil shot is a perfect way to tell how good a knife is but it's used as a base point that many use to buy knives. The non ideal choil shots may be a reason some of your knives aren't moving. Here's a good choil shot from carbon knife co. The idea is to get it as straight as possible without showing the edge of the knife. Check out other choil images at Carbon Knife Co- Japanese Chef Knives & Accessories if you want some more examples. Using the sky as a backdrop is great because it provides some great contrast.

Hope to see some good shots

 

[bshampton117]

Thanks for the tips.

 

[bshampton117]

Here you go.

Hey that's pretty good! If you're willing to ship outside of conus (just to Canada) let me know because I'm quite interested!

By the way I'd really appreciate seeing a full spine shot similarly to the choil shot. It helps take a look at the taper of the knife especially towards the tip. Thanks!

I will ship to Canada. Shipping generally runs about $50.

How’s the heat treatment on these things? Similar to something like Hattori?

 

[bshampton117]

It is supposed to be really great for the pice point. This is the main reason, along with the grind, that Bernal Cutlery even carries them. They just are not run of the mill VG10s. I do not know the exact Rockwell hardness.

 

[blokey]

Sounds nice, HRc is not that important for VG10 anyway

Ahh shame. All that plus the likely import fees probably means that it'll be more expensive than new by the time I get it. Glws though this looks like an awesome knife for the price!
