Sounds like a popular opinion. Or should be.

OH OH! I THINK RAQUINS ARE BORING AS WELL. SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE ME TRY ONE. PUIG SUCKS TOO. (did it work?)

Not necessarily boring, but lazy (which is boring). Any maker who doesn't remove the KU is lazy. If it's not kasumi/migaki, it's an unfinished knife.

All knives that I have not tried yet and that I might possibly be tempted by are boring. By definition. It's kind of a defense mechanism for my wallet.

Actually I think one of those biohazard Myojin handles could make the Raquin gyutos cheer the **** up. (never used either)

What’s boring about them?
Dont you dare put one of those fugly handles on them. I Love Raquin handles, rustic yet super comfy, feel well balanced, wonderful handles.

This comment is lazy.

I think this thing about Raquin is maybe the most unpopular opinion yet 
.
Better be serious to not be excommunicated from kfs. I think the look of the blade is a bit boring with the ku finish. Sometimes the edge is beautiful. Like the handles too.

Honyaki is a half finished mono steel blade.

Were you in on the Great Machi Debate? Woosh. People have some strong opinions about gaps.
Wild duck is nasty and best used for dogfood and fertilizer.
Yes, I did grow up hunting them and as soon as I was old enough to not have to go with my dad to hunt those flying mud fish, I stopped. Now, a nice roasted pheasant or grouse, I'm all in.

Monosteel stainless knives are boring and lack soul.

I'd say leaving rough grinder marks on bevels is lazy. Especially if knife is selling at premium price level. In fact I wouldn't accept anything besides hand polish on any expensive knife.
KU finish? It's awesome

Only cause they don't require you to baby sit them? Do you believe that chrome content removes any traces of sould from the blade?

Few here would argue in favour of child labour, which is rightfully seen as something best avoided, So why then KKF folks, are we so complacent to the OAP-torturing antics present in much Japanese knife production. Wrinkled pensioners of truly advanced ages - when they should really be sucking boiled Werther‘s originals and boring young people in peace - are literally being toasted near blast furnaces and encouraged to bash blades until their brittle bones break, all because seniority tends to mean higher prices for collectors and their bosses
It’s brutal and nobody should fall for this craftsmen ‘too dedicated to retire’ nonsense. Shadowy cabals in Sakai round up and extort these pensioners, squeezing their elderly pips and threatening them with a life in Takefu Knife concentration camp City if they don‘t comply. These craftsmen aren’t often credited by their Sakai masters, not because of commercial obligations, but because their advanced ages and corpse-like appearances could scare away buyers. I even hear rumours that Masama Asai was actually dead for 4 years, operated as an animatronic puppet, just so they could get more of a return on his reputation (and make an example of him for his impudence). No wonder Yamamoto seems to have become reclusive and mostly downed tools in recent years.
We should really take a little more care. The guilt is even beginning to get to a heartless wanker like me.

Shun makes some of the most comfortable shaped handles of all knives I've tried.
Shun handle + moisture = slip n slide
CPM A11 > 10vDo you need glasses?
Kids. Whatever. All I know is 20CV is way better than M390 and M390 is better than 204P.
