The main purpose of this order was to get some stones to begin learning how to sharpen. I threw in an inexpensive petty with finish sharpening to practice on and compare how I’m doing with how it started.



I plan to add a lot more blades in the future as my cooking and cutting skills improve.
 
Thought I wouldn’t get any knives this year (well, maybe a cleaver but definitely no gyuto) but there was an offer I could not refuse…

Takada Suiboku Ginsan 210 Gyuto. Three new things for me in one knife: Ginsan, Takada finishing and Nakagawa forging.

Looking forward to hearing your impressions!
 
Looking forward to hearing your impressions!

First impressions are very nice - extremely well finished and beautiful knife. I'm not 100% behind the finish on the ho-wood (seems a bit slippery), but the size and shape are spot on. Might just sand it a bit.

In a couple of months when I've had a good chance to use it I'll put up a review.
 
I picked this up on BST. Y Tanaka AS wide bevel. Very impressive so far, I glad so many chimed in on the thread to pump it up because it definitely lives up to expectations. I put a vinegar etch on it because that how I like to start out my iron clad knives.
