A few months back I managed to convince fellow KKF member and friend, Checkpure, to part with his TF Denka. It’s a Gyuto measuring 242mm at the edge and 51mm deep at the heel. The core is AS steel hand forged with a stainless cladding and a western style handle. Checkpure performed his sharpening magic and delivered it with a scary sharp edge that’s held from almost daily use over the past couple of months. Here is a few pics of the knife.

I put the Denka to use today doing up the flat of a brisket. I smoked the brisket piece to 165F on my Green Egg, wrapped it in foil and finished it in my Anova Precision Oven. Slicing chores went to my Denka. Here’s a few more pics.

For those who think I’ve just been parting with the nice knives in my collection rest assured that there is method in my madness and this wonderful TF is part of that “method”. Stay tuned.
I know that I’m not a mod, but it is not against any rules and actually encouraged to share where to get them from. In fact, there is a whole thread dedicated to just that.I guess i was lucky in a Japanese web shop!
(is it ok with the mods to mention the name here?)
Looks so classyAn integral from Mert in 52100 Sab inspired. Right when I picked this one up in hand, instant love. This one gets about as thin as possible in the front 1/3 and still stays pretty stiff. I put it next to a shibata kashima to give reference. The kashima has one of the thinnest tips around and you can see Mert’s is thinner for a greater area. At the very last part of tips they are extremely close. Tansu on top Kashima on bottom. It’s chunky at the heel View attachment 132556View attachment 132557View attachment 132558View attachment 132559View attachment 132560
The handle looks nice and big on that one. Is it a Gokujyo?
https://www.dictum.com/en/tradition...hocho-kasumi-santoku-all-purpose-knife-719665So sick! Where does on get a Shig these days?
It is!The handle looks nice and big on that one. Is it a Gokujyo?
Yeah, I agree it looks classy and feels absolutely wonderful in hand. I am really liking this one. It’s convex grind. The pic might make it look a little more asymmetric than it is. It has a righty bias, but not extremely asymmetric.Looks so classy
How’s the grind, fully asymmetrical convex?
That’s a stunner!!View attachment 132966View attachment 132967View attachment 132968View attachment 132969View attachment 132970View attachment 132971
My first purchase from Sugi Cutlery. I'm a real fan of Jobone's work so it really seemed logical to get something from his new endeavour. Having the ability to select and combine blade and handle at the same time is a real plus for me.
Takeshi Saji Rainbow Damascus 240mm Gyuto wa handle Brazilian Rosewood w/ Buffalo Horn ferrule.
I'd never seen Brazilian Rosewood on a knife handle before so on seeing jobone's creation I snapped it up, I hoped it would pair with the coloured damascus nicely, and I think it does.
I love what jobone is doing at moment especially getting Gaku on board with some custom Sugi TF's! (Hopefully my next purchase ).
