Not a knife . . . but cool steel spec sheet. 125mm Tsubotake saw file. 67 - 68 RHC and 1.5% carbon


When I bought it, part of me vaguely wanted to sharpen the file to see what kind of edge taking and retention such as steel would have.

That nakiri looks lovely. I'm in an upgradey mood and wanting to step out of my Massage Koishi comfort zone 😀. No reviews on Knifewear yet, you like?
 
Yu Kurosaki Shizuku R2 Western gyuto 210 with ironwood handle. 219 mm*50 mm. 178 gram. 1.8 mm spine. It’s beautiful and the f&f is beyond my expectation for a Echizen knife.

It’s probably one of the thinnest knife I’ve ever used. Tall and slightly concave wide bevel. 0.65-0.7 mm thick at 10 mm above the edge. 0.35 mm thick at 5 mm above the edge. 0.15 mm thick right above the edge.

Only used it a little and now we're in the wife's cooking cycle but from what I did use it, abso-freaking-lutely. At the risk of being profoundly cliché, this might be a game changer for me. So, like so many of us, I can grab one knife and freaking love it and then grab another very different knife and love it too. But, I've been discovering that I have a real affinity for 180-ish knives and profiles with a flatter bias. And this thing? So light, so nimble, so balanced!

I honestly can't wait to get to know it so much better. I haven't been this jacked about a new knife in quite some time!

I’m really enjoying my first 180 gyuto as well, it’s super handy for small jobs. I think a 180 laser bunka is probably going to be my next purchase.

My affinity for my 165 bunkas led me to trying the 180 gyutos. I first tried a 180 Tadafusa, then the 180 Hinokuni, and now this guy. The Tadafusa being a little shorter in height, a little thicker, and a more curved profile while the Hinokuni is quite thin, light and almost santoku in profile. I found myself drawn to that in general.

I am interested in a 180 bunka for sure but now I fear I may be hopelessly sold on thin and light and the added mass of the bunka might detract from that.
 
Well after getting scammed out of a little bit of money earlier in the day I was delighted to find my brand new (but many years old) beater arrived from Bernal.

270mm of 90’s SK steel with a chunky handle to provide plenty of grip when your brandishing it at the rotten SOB that fleeced you out of a few good dollars. All for mere 120$.
I dare say there might not be more knife (literally) for the money. I certainly don’t think there could be more smiles per mm in a knife. Can’t wait to put it through a case of onions.
Remember when you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle…..

I was sorry to read about that affair. That guy is supposedly a fellow Brooklynite and just this week warmly welcomed me to the forum. Very surprising. Hoping we’ll find out he was hacked but who knows.

Congrats on this steel steal!

Glad you’re always looking on the bright side of life! 😄

Sorry that happened man. Hope you/mods get to the bottom of it. I didn't know Rick but he was a long time member. So weird. Definitely leaves a bad taste.
