You know that thing is going to have a ~$5,000 price tag. It damn well better be the best rectangle ever made!Um, I mean, if you think so, sure.
Me not so much.

Because of the wide bevel, you can choose to use different areas of the knife for different tasks and materials. the impact of using the forward 1/3 of the knife results in laser city.interesting, thanks
I was curious about how the wide bevels / shinogi perform in harder veggies. I guess it's quite thin overall so the shinogi doesn't offer much resistance?
No wonder there’s such a backlog on custom orders.7 years in the making for 1 nakiri? It can't be that hard to figure out a nakiri...
Couldn't find the point of it.7 years in the making for 1 nakiri? It can't be that hard to figure out a nakiri...
Don't want to derail the thread too much, but where would Nobuyah Hayashi fit in with the Okubo and Toyama/Watanabe?
My Nobuyah 240 B2 felt by far the hardest of any steel I've put to stones. Quite a bit more so than my Toyama dammy and iron clad Watanabe
Or perhaps that was a mistake?I forgot to post this when I took the screenshot some weeks ago. This is the first time I have seen a craftsman associated with this knife line.

Genuinely happy with mine for the price, I’m not the biggest critic here so take that for what it’s worth.(posting this here since I don't want to make a separate thread for it)
Whats the general consensus these days about Doa Vua, especially the newer generation that is being sold at tokushu? Im thinking of buying some cheap(er) knives as gifts for some buddies and was eyeing these, especially with the including sharpening from Zach.
I genuinely like my V3 Tank. The grind is better than I expected at that thick. The HT and the 52100 have been solid. I don't use it a ton, but I like to get mine out every once in a while. I've been recommending the V3 for a bit and still do, I think it's a solid value and performs better than anticipated.(posting this here since I don't want to make a separate thread for it)

That is interesting. Was it disclosed deliberately? I assumed it was made by Nigara with their relationship the way it is.
I think the Nihei attribution is a mistake. The Yorokobi is a Nigara knife based on multiple other attributions on IG and YouTube.That is interesting. Was it disclosed deliberately? I assumed it was made by Nigara with their relationship the way it is.
So, it does have me wondering. I've been out looking at it. It is Sanjo-made SLD according to another site. That aligns with Nihei too. He is an SLD guru too.I think the Nihei attribution is a mistake. The Yorokobi is a Nigara knife based on multiple other attributions on IG and YouTube.
I've gone through several of these 52100 versions mostly purchased second hand on the forums. The cleaver and tall gyuto were fun knives and worth the price to have something fun to play with imo and I never tested the cleaver as I never felt the need to. That said, the last bunch I bought included one with a bend in it. In attempting to straighten it, it was way too easy for a mono-steel, so I tested the hardness. Several tests at various points resulted in the ~50hrc range. I went ahead and tested the others and the overall range was about 45-52hrc with readings in some spots that were too low to read.(posting this here since I don't want to make a separate thread for it)

Interesting, that one very much looks like a Nigara kiritsuke I have and some copper Nigara pieces that Home Butcher had awhile back. That said, they do not at all resemble the Yorokobi from my experience outside of the copper cladding, which is likely pre-laminated stock. I wonder if there was a change in the maker?
