180 gyutos are awesome, 210 gyutos are like Wednesdays

- 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).

180K+ subs has no correlation to his contribution to the community. All it means is 180K+ people like watching his videos on a regular basis.

Bolsters make knives better








Lol j/k.

Collecting is a disease or a business. Sometimes both.

Freedom of speech does not mean it is ok to bully, ridicule or patronize others.

Flippers and BNIB knives should be put in a separate BST subforum.

I should moderate all posts in this thread if they get 3 or more likes, because they are obviously off topic.

I’m 35 - colorful handles are lame. They are the affliction t shirts of the knife world.

 

[Marcelo Amaral]

Regarding not only handles, people should get old fast.

All square knives are for squares

yup, Kato WH does cut well, expected as its Toyama after weight gain & tripling of the price.

If you're not a Ryky fanboy then I must not be a Ryky hater either.

I've had plenty of criticism for him, yet you had literal zero good to say ...

He's gotten better. For a while, you knew he was recommending knives that weren't his best from the mass produced big boys. On the other hand, spotlighting stuff like Yoshikane, Takefu, will make those knives probably make those brands harder to get. Good for KKF member pocket books probably, but bad for getting a fix.

How this is unpopular?
Hmmm, I think I know, you meant that the popular opinion is that they should not be able to post at all.

I have on numerous occasions credited him with bringing more people into the hobby. You have this weird persecution complex about you that I first noticed way back in the r/chefknives Discord after we told you your mountain of potential wiki contributions were filled with inaccuracies. I would also say that people like you are the reason people like me don't like to engage with newbies for the most part.

Bogdan ist great for fine and closed edges and the knife stays sharp much longer.

Mack.

Hmm, maybe next time they should try speaking Japanese?

Despite the forum queen status of 240, the unpopular 210 is the most popular knife in real life!

 

[Noodle Soup]

A little rocker in the edge of a real Chinese cleaver is a good thing.

 

[ma_sha1]

Chelsea Miller is the most underrated blacksmith.

If you argue with me, then you are automatically adding support to my unpopular opinion.

I missed that, sorry.

potential wiki contributions were filled with inaccuracies.

I didn't know I came off that way, I knew a lot of it would be wrong, I was really looking to correct it and have it available ... I do have a strong anti bs tendency though, and frequently go after people for it.
However, it's been years since and some of the answers still haven't made it to the wiki .. so don't be surprised if people go elsewhere to find that info.

don't like to engage with newbies for the most part.

If you can't keep up, don't step up.

 

[Bensbites]

People on this forum don't like colourful handles because they're over fifty and boring

I am under fifty and boring.

 

[applepieforbreakfast]

*prepares safe room. Tells wife and children he loves them*
I love my 180 gyuto
*runs away, and puts phone on silent*

You are not alone.

Not gonna lie, I'd like my Mazaki 180 petty even more if it was 5-10mm taller.

 

[DitmasPork]

I can’t tell if you’re joking or if you just hung out on reddit too long.
Either way, you might’ve discovered the most unpopular opinion.

Joke. Yes, was attempting to find an opinion that would be collectively unpopular on KKF.

Here's my unpopular opinion:
Sometimes a sub-$200 Japanese 240mm will out-perform nearly every other knife you own.

Tanaka is one of those, likes to mess with upper class Gyutos.

That's like crediting Isoroku Yamamoto with getting more Americans into flying
