@RockyBasel what's your stone setup?

@RockyBasel what's your stone setup?

Bare bones stone set-up. 1,000 and 3,000 grit synth, plus a freebie natural stone that Maksim threw my way. But I have to come up to speed in this area - big weakness. I have not needed to sharpen because am rotating and buying knives, but the day is looming

How about you?

That limit still stands! I now have one gyuto, one suji, one nakiri, one 150 petty, one 180 petty, one honesuki, one paring knife, and a beater gyuto for my wife.

... so that she can beat you with it?

Let me know your opinions - am in the same boat as you, almost pulled the trigger on a mm this weekend. Can’t seem to land a Fujiyama or Kaiju

Will do once I get a change to cut with it

I had the same opinion once - now I own 4 different Kono 210.....

That must have been more than a few months. I bought and sold around 4 nakiris over the past 3 or so years. This is my second Toyama. This was the first one:

TBH, I just don't like the bling. I'm impressed by the process, but I like the plain stuff. Well, relatively plain, I guess...

Mmm, Scandinavian design

Mmm, Scandinavian design

Or Japanese, maybe?

Or Bauhaus

Have you used it much since arrival? Any verdict?

It performs wonderfully.. the polishing is on pause, but will continue once I've finished a few other projects for clients. I'll be posting more about it once I have the time. Also, I have another knife from Manaka that should be finished any day now!

240mm Shibata Kotetsu Aogami Super Gyuto handled with a one-piece Amboyna burl.
Fell in love with this gorgeous two toned handle.

That was languishing on BST for a surprisingly long time. That sweet handle really pops. Congrats to buyer and seller.

Glad this arrived safely. Your pictures do a much better job of showing off that handle. Great knife!
