Yup, and this is one of my cheaper hobbies.

I suppose what I am confused about is what set of criteria attract the members of KKF. I do understand there are differences in method between a Takeda knife from Japan and Joel's knife. I do come at all of this with an avid cook's perspective. I am learning a great deal about the genetic makeup of knives and sharpening stones from this wonderful site, but my appreciation for knives largely hinges on fit and finish, and performance in the kitchen. Joel's knife performs very well. Thoughts?

Post up some simple cutting vids, maybe on the carrot thread. I'd love to see how that CB works for one.
There's an orthodoxy. Doesn't mean there can't be some fresh air.

First cuts with my new dalman cleaver. i have never used a slicing cleaver before. doesnt take much getting used to but it is definitely different. great cutting feel.

Glad to see you got that rust out and that you’re getting to use it.

 

[Kippington]

@milkbaby Yes, he gave it a "light acid etch to create a starter patina." Do you think that the main reason Joel's knives aren't commonly accepted here is because he uses some stock removal in his approach? I have knives from Nafzger Forge, Carter Cutlery, and Takeda. I love them all, but I also appreciate what Joel does. Just wondering.

I personally don't like the shape and ergonomics of Joel's knives.
But my opinion should not be important if the knife works for you. Enjoy it!

thanks but the knife that arrived with some rust belongs to another member. mine was in same batch and the box arrived damaged as well but this blade did not arrive with any issues.

 

[Carl Kotte]

Forgive me someone for I have sinned. Three knives from three different makers well-known on this forum.

They are not exactly new; I’ve had them for six months. I just haven’t had the opportunity to confess.

 

[Carl Kotte]

And two other knives that aren’t exactly new, but now that’s it Midsummer here, and I’ve come clean, I might as well flash my Y Tanaka and my iron clad Watanabe.

 

[Carl Kotte]

And happy Midsummer to all of you!

 

[Helmore]

Well, if this is agreeable to your religious persuasion(s), you can buy an Indulgence off me by sending me one of your knives.

I’m a satanist so you can just send me some blood!

That goes against my Satanic Tenets, so I guess I will just have to forgive you...

 

[IsoJ]

Speak of the devil, Sakai Kikumori 260*45 suji/sujigyuto from @Carl Kotte . Transaction was bloodfree, I kept my remaining soul and only little money was send .

 

[tchan001]

It's been cursed to rust if you leave it alone for too long. Better put it to good use often.

I really think you need to sell some knives again.
Luckily I'm in EU and could help you

Hmmm, ok, I’ll think about it. Actually, the idea behind posting pictures of used knives was to deter people from making offers on my sweet stuff

You are never safe. Unfortunately/luckily I have too much stuff and coming. I really like my Birgersson/Dalman knife. Have to more heavily test the Kamon production knife. Haven't used my Mazaki yet. Doesn't help that I'm on Saucier.

May the blessing of the holy trinity of K&K&F protect you and guide you...In nomine Kato, et TF, et spiritu Suji...

"Mazaki." murmurs the congregation, all holding a knife in their right hand and a whetstone in the other.


(Or what would be a preferred "Amen" analogue?)
