Hi folks,
I recently got to try out a 150mm TF nashiji petty. It's the only Teruyasu Fujiwara knife I've tried. I know they're big thing on this forum, and I know many people even like their nashiji line since it's "good value for the money."
Honestly though the edge retention on this thing is really bad. As in it doesn't even last half my shift. While the TF does get sharper, even the house nihonkou SK petty has better edge retention. It doesn't matter if give it a more conservative angle either. It sharpens quickly and takes a beautiful edge, but it just doesn't last. My Gesshin Heiji and Mizuno Tanrenjo 150mm petties just blow the TF out of the water in pretty much every aspect.
Would I have to get a Maboroshi or a Denka to see what all the hype is about? Am I missing something?
