then get a yoshikane black damascus, it's so freaking pretty.Ah to be honest, I lean more towards the collector/admiring beautiful things side, though of course not at the cost of performance either.

This Konosuke YS(also Yoshikane) I’m using has a nice thin tip. It could glide through potatoes with ease I’m sure
[/QUOTE]i honestly hate all wide bevel grinds, including heiji. but if heiji were to make a honyaki i would buy one in a heart beat and spend a year regrind it myself, hahahaha
Hammered or satin finish?masashi from aframes is a potato champ
The Konosuke YS is made by Yoshikane.So if I understand you correctly, Yoshikane makes some knives for Konosuke? Are all Konosuke YS knives made by Yoshikane?
(Also, is there some compendium of all these acronyms that I commonly see around here? FM, FT, YS, SLD, etc)
By the way, does anyone have anything to say about Aritsugu as a maker?
satinHammered or satin finish?
Yoshikane is too hipster to be popular
Ooh I'll look into this. I think this is the first time I've seen anyone mention Yoshikane though on these forums - is he not as popular?
The SLD dammy isnt just pretty. Every Yoshikane I’ve tried has been excellent for the price point, including the damascus.
so what do you REALLY want?
a honyaki or a damascus knife?
a damascus knife that is being used a lot will need to be refinished with acids and sandpapers at least. like once a year. and you need to try out which acis gives the same finish you want. it could also be a blend of acids. or a series of them.
a honyaki will only show its hamon after polishing with certain stones. and this will disappear if you scrub it down to keep it silvery and non rusty looking.
using a green scrubby sponge on a japanese faux damascus knife will remove the color of the damascus. it only takes 30 seconds to ruin it completely.
so pick you poison. its not gonna be easy to keep it maintained no matter what you choose. just so you know.
It is definitely good, but how good I don't yet know, need to test more. My standard is @Kippington workpony honyaki that has amazing food release. I am not sure what is wrong with that knife there are two possibilities, ether it has some special Australian nanocoating that has matter repealing properties or kipp dosed the handle in some sort of hallucinogen that makes me think it has great food release.
I think when he says 50/50 he means the edge was sharpened 50/50 but the grind can be anything.
Thats the good stuff. I think it seals Jnat's tooWhat an utterly preposterous suggestion.
You use vegemite to create the hamon?What an utterly preposterous suggestion.
