Flippers only trying to earn money are human too.
Totally agree with this one. I sold my yoshikane for it being too flat (I made that clear on the BST thread tho), otherwise it would be a fantastic knife.Your obsession with a big "flat spot" leads new knife makers to make suboptimal knives.
With the other 22k members I never see?
workhorse

A knife nerd finally makes their pilgrimage to their favourite maker's workshop in Japan, spending thousands of dollars for the journey. They get there and get a chance to start talking to their personal hero, and start to ask them about the difference in the 2014 vs the 2015 batches, which had a little more of a workhorse feel to them. Here's the punchline: the maker has no ****ing clue what they're talking about.
I own 2 end grain boards (a small one and a larger one). Hasegawa is much better value and much better board overall. I think the Hasegawa and Asahi even look better than end grain boards.End grain boards are... (don’t know, I’ve never had one, but Please insert something appropriately insulting)!
If you need help with your burial, let me know.Mine will be buried with me, don't know where you get your intel from.
Plenty of 240 gyutos wish they were 1/2 the beast that my 210 toyama nakiri is.But we all know that nakiris are stupid!
And all toyama Nakiris wish they were 1/2 the beast my Gransfors axe is.If you need help with your burial, let me know.

Cold man, cold.If you need help with your burial, let me know.
I 100% agree (err, except for the 'less reactive' part -- but that was usually entertaining)12. I miss the old forum, pre2015. The posts were more helpful, less reactive, and a lot more fun. I miss Salty, Mr Drinky, Son, Chuckle, among others.
Hey, how about those Red Pandas! (saw an IG post with that as the new team name/ graphic and thought you would have commentary)there are too many sissies on kkf.
Too $ for the makers to stay on KKF when other forum(s) gave them a free year, then most developed a good presence via IG and regular newsletters. Too many no- or low-cost places to advertise these days.why have all the makers who used to post vacated the forum? Randy, Devin, Rader, Catcheside, all used to post. Maksim too.
Only a handful of Western makers make something that cuts equal or better than most of the Japanese knives in the $200-300 price range. And by handful I man like....3-4 that I've personally tried and it's been a lot.
Hitachi White steels are over-hyped
New Takeda grind is crap.Takeda NAS are great (for some tasks), and the idea that the old grind on the AS was better seems impossible due to basic geometry and physical constraints. Probably too much to get into details for this thread, but suffice to say that the signature grind could not be thinner and less prone to wedging without compromising stiffness or food release (a signature feature). I've never held or used an AS, though!
People on this forum don't like colourful handles because they're over fifty and boring

New Takeda grind is crap.
Old grind rocks, but his old knives, F&F and grind (besides bevel) will vary.
But don't they make OK petty substitutes?I love my 180 gyuto
- Burrfection did more for knife community then most people here can even understand.
- Every fanboy/hater. You're a disease. In any hobby. You pollute the environment with extreme, often objectively wrong, opinions.
Burrfection did more for knife community then most people here can even understand. That's why he has 180k+ subs now. People here just hate on what they don't understand. (shocked no one mentioned this yet).
That was actually why I bought it, but it didn’t feel petty-like at all. But I lurve hurr.But don't they make OK petty substitutes?
