What's in your bag?

[spoiledbroth]

the hard case kits from asia are not too bad either in terms of space (area) needed to access gear...!

 

[lapointeus]

I really like looking through these threads for some reason so I thought I'd make one of my own.

How do you like that long Suisin you have? I've noticed David Chang with that knife. Looks fairly nice, but how is the steel?

 

[joshsy81]

i checked out hardmill brand's offerings and i gotta say the leather roll looks pretty badass. i beat the crap out of my knife rolls, they tend to last about a year before starting to fall apart. wonder how rugged the leather ones are.

Damn, that's pretty brutal. The waxed canvas seems to be a pretty tough customer. I know nothing of the leather rolls.

While we're on the topic of Ultimate Edge.. this is a cool concept. Sits on your station. Never tried it though!

 

[Jordanp]

I like it a lot for what it is sharpens up easily and is very durable so works well for what I need.

looks perfect for co-workers that want to grab your knives and use them, ding them up and slide them right back in without you ever noticing. No thanks.

I'd never buy one, but then again, I wouldn't consider 99% of knife bags. I carry a gyuto in a saya.

Only bags I consider are leather. Expensive taste I guess.

Leather bags are nice , i just wouldnt want to shell out the money for one, id rather buy a new knife instead.

and i keep my knives in sayas or guards inside my knife bag. Double the protection.:biggrin:

Still think it's hard to beat the ultimate edge portfolio bags. They're pretty damn sturdy, versatile, and will afford a 300mm knife with saya. Barely. But still...

How long is your 300mm total ? I'm trying to find a bag that will fit my suji

Not sure TBH, it's out on loan right now.

My 300mm yani is 490mm, stem to stern, in saya. It fits in the ultimate edge though just barely. Jon sells a JKI case that holds the yani with a little room to spare

A little sparse there - but we can fix that. 9

I have this case, good value, wish I got another one or six…

It holds my 300 yo-Suji in a saya, and I can also fit a gyuto and petty (petty saya will be overlapping a larger saya though)

Light kit did a ton of work tonight. 240 Ealy gyuto, Harner K-tip parer

 

[Cashn]

My kit going up to Kentucky for a movie. Left to right : tojiro bread knife, Marko practice suji, heiji semi stainless, syousin suminagashi r2, tanaka ginsan gyuto, tanaka ginsan petty, shun petty, and some odds and ends that fit in the roll. Peeler, chopsticks, mandolin blades and some scissors not pictured. Other stuff not pictured is a thermometer and mandolin. Unfortunately stainless is pretty much necessary with the working conditions.

On average, how many of those (knives) do you use in one shift???

 

[spoiledbroth]

Fwiw there's not a lot of overlap in that kit that I can see

 

[Furminati]

Probably don't need that 270 takamura !!! I'll take it off your hands

 

[fujiyama]

I was thinking the same thing, I thought 240 was their largest!

 

[aboynamedsuita]

They make a 300 too!

 

[Godslayer]

You speak too much of my broken dreams.

 

[aboynamedsuita]

You speak too much of my broken dreams.

It looks like a beast, I know wielding my 300 Misono Dragon is quite fun, so a 300 Uchigumo... well, you know

300, 270, 240, 210, 180 gyutos

 

[daveb]

Those handles! Saw a five pack just like that at Wally World, $39.95 for the set and it came with a block!




​sorry, devil made me do it...
