Bumped my head and got some brain damage…next thing I know, I’ve been brainwashed by the Denka crowd…picked up from a member here
F/f is average, not atrocious
Chopped some cabbage and cut cone carrots so far. Feels solid but not special…cue torches and pitchforks…gonna have to do a few meals

Guess we have the same conclusion, they are good but didn’t blow me away, tho few knives did at this point
Couldn’t agree more. It’s solid but not amazing, but I need to use it a bit more before making any personal conclusions
I can volunteer that I loved Eddie’s 52100 gyuto from the very beginning, as well as my Mikami
Ah you were the one who was 1 min faster than me

Congratulations. Much less fat behind the edge than very recent 'normal' ones I've seen. Looks like it has got a good sharpening. About the petty: a good stainless is helpful if your main knife is a carbon one. Shorter petties have a small contact area with the board and require a lot of sharpening. I like a lot this Sab in Sandvik's 14C28N.

Yes, this knife is thinner behind the edge than the normal version shown on pics. I have even thought 'maybe they have modified a right handed version instead of purchasing a left handed version from factory'.
I have some gyutos with a length os 18 cm, this is why I want a shorter knife. My ideas is something like this Takamura:

But I read recommendations to take R2 over VG10.
The logo is on the other side for a right handed knife.
tanaka special from maxim arrived today! definitely can’t wait to take it for a test drive.
Looks like a lot more core steel is exposed on one side vs the other. Any concerns to be had around this? I suppose when the time comes I will just try to thin more from one side?

You are right, I forgot this detail.

I would thin normally so as not to upset the geometry.
Makes sense, the grind looks good from the choil

Is it a “fine finish”?
Did they mend the stone wheel that broke in their workshop a while back?

It wasn’t listed as ‘fine finish’ but grind looks very good.
Didn’t know about the wheel.

Got some really special customs from Isasmedjan. Always wanted a Damacore chef knife, so here we are. And next, an aogami super honyaki. Super glad Jonas was willing to try it out, and the knife didn't explode into a million pieces during quenching!

Have to share vids too:
Love the specs on this and that convex grind. Keen to hear how it performs.
Just received this little santoku from Maksim. Love it so much haha I don’t normally post knife pictures as I’m too lazy to take them…but there you go.
Also, I know some people have been having issues with Maksim’s Kato prices lately. While this one is not exactly cheap, I’m glad I can still get a Shig BNIB for $423 with express shipping to the US.
