I'm guessing "Especial-Made by Sakai Tomotatsu"? Not sure what the second character is.

Did you translate base on Kanji letters?

Specially made by Shoryu in Sakai

堺 - Sakai
昇龍 - Shoryu, a name
別作 - Bessaku, specially made

Fun fact, it's the same kanji as shoryuken from Street Fighter, meaning "rising dragon" (ken=punch/fist)

Thanks mate!

Yes, the brand name is Sakai Shoryu. However I can not find out blacksmith and sharpener. They said that it's their secret. @___@

I bought this Takeda 215mm as classic gyuto a while ago from Phil with no handle. So not exactly my most recent knife purchase. But I just finished up it’s handle and it’s ready to go to work finally!

 

[iandustries]

Does it feel sand blasted? I really doubt that knife has been finished, on clad, by natural stones.

I was gonna say that looks like a tanaka yohei !

Couldn’t resist and always wanted a yoshikazu tanaka for the growing collection. 240mm white 1 with custom handle with desert ironwood handle

How do you like it? I just got one a few weeks ago, used about 5-6 times and mine wedges a ton.

just got it today. havent tested it on a ton of different stuff and the apples I have arent the really big ones I usually see, so cant comment.

but, a 56mm blue 1 warikomi blade with stone finished bevels & good f&f overall was kind of where I was coming from.

I absolutely agree. A lot for the price. I was just curious how it was for you, as I haven't seen a lot written about how it cuts. I like the sound of that 56mm height you got. Mine came in at 50mm.

 

[josemartinlopez]

Mine doesn’t wedge at all and I’m surprised to hear that comment.

I found it on sharpknifeshop at great Price in Toronto

Mazaki santoku from @preizzo

 

[josemartinlopez]

You bought a... santoku?! I guess if it's from Mazaki Lord @preizzo, it must be good!

We will see when I use it for awhile. I tried with nakiris but we didn't get along. Maybe the santoku has more point for me.

The 210 Nakiri is a whole different thing from a 165. I did not find the 165 nakiri for me; but the 210 is a knife I enjoy using.

I thought it was a Raquin… I want one from him so bad. I keep missing on his drops lol. Can’t enter my info fast enough.

I haven't tried 210, the 165 and 180 where too short. I skipped the 210 nakiri and went with cleaver. Very happy with that. Then again if I had a spare knife budget, Toyama 210 ironclad would be the choice for me.

Shiro Kamo R2 Damascus 180mm Santoku as an extra knife in the house and something my 14 yo daughter can learn to use. Part of a recent buying spree including a 300mm suji and a 180mm suji petty.
