No discernible difference as of yet, the profile and grind are practically twins. The YS may be slightly ticker at the spine than my Amekiri, let’s see how the retention and ease of sharpening is with the YS though, I loved the Yoshikane Amekiri but it didn’t hold its edge long enough for me in the Restaurant. no fault of the knife just the nature of being white #2.

I see, I was going to buy the Yoshikane but I want the closest in terms of cutting performance with the YS since the YS is way over my budget. I wouldn't really bother with crazy edge retention since I will use it at home.

The YS seemed to hold a nice edge in my brief time with it.

First 270!

I just picked up a Nigara hamono "Anmon" Damascus 300mm Sakimaru Takohiki. First Nigara blade, great weight, and wicked sharp.

What a stunner. Oh and that knife looks great too. I’ve been seeing these pop up lately and I’m very intrigued by them.

My Tesshu Meat Cleaver 185mm with Hawaiian Koa Handle from AframesTokyo arrived at the office.
I wanted a hefty cleaver that can handle chopping bones and it sure is thick and heavy. The blade is made by Munetoshi and then custom handled with Koa by AframesTokyo resulting in a beautifully rustic cleaver. Not exactly the best fit and finish but when you buy something made by Munetoshi, that's to be expected.

I would highly recommend the Yoshikane Amekiri from K&S, seems Like it would suit you well then!

Mazak from JNS, 272x59, only 252gs! Handle needs to be replaced since the balance point is halfway up the kanji, but very happy w/ it

 

[RockyBasel]

I thought JNS no longer carries the Mazakster

Shibata AS Tank. 183mm*85 mm. 345 gram. 4.9 mm spine thickness. It’s a beast. Thinnest at the top of the edge out of 3 Shibatas I’ve owned.

Just did a quick cutting test here. Carrot wedge test

I am jealous - if you ever want to off load, ping me

So this is my first s-grind by Rader. Another first, it was shipped and arrived in less than 24 hrs from BST. I'm one state over though. First three photos aren't mine. The Koa handle is mesmerizing.

Your carpet is giving me epilepsy, just FYI

My wife...she's from California...and that's all I'll say about her choices in life.

Didn't notice the carpet until Juice pointed it out, and now I can see nothing but the carpet in that picture.

One of the most important lessons a photographer can learn is to always look at the background...

At least its an area rug over hardwood floors.

Probably should pay attention to the foreground too. That tie is fooking horrible and his gig line is sloppy.

I've lived in California all my life and think that thing you call a carpet is ugly and seizure inducing.

Ken griffey jr carpet. I think it’s kind of cool

Speaking of ladies, I also like how she's got a triangle pointed at her head. This photo, it really gives us a lot of pointers on things to avoid

I got it from CKTG. I signed up their email notification for this knife and bought it when I saw the email notification.
