I'm contacting everyone. Just not paying 800 for a blade without. A full tang.I already told him this in dm's why don't people listen...
Also you are in the wrong section, try the classified section. You probably need more posts in order to use it though, or be a supporting member.
Yea if I'm pay 800 for a knife I'd expect a full tang. Just me. From using the knives bin have 800 should have a full tang. I'll buy a shun hiro for 450 before spending 1000 on a knife without a full tangWhy do you need a full tang? This is a forum primarily focused on japanese style kitchen knives and most are hidden tang. Unless you are using it for chopping which you wouldn't do with that steel, not sure why that would be relevant. Also, good chance these very high alloyed steel builds will be more than that...
Is that s90v?They all make full tang, here’s a ASP2053 from blank

ASP2053 at 67.5 HRC, more similar to 10V and K390,Is that s90v?
That's all cool and all but I don't have no way to verify.ASP2053 at 67.5 HRC, more similar to 10V and K390,
It really didn’t matter than match in kitchen knife, and sometimes full tang without taper actually affect the balance negatively, tho if that’s your preference I can’t say much. All three mentioned will make full tang, just more expensiveYea if I'm pay 800 for a knife I'd expect a full tang. Just me. From using the knives bin have 800 should have a full tang.

Ok this has to be trolling at this point, good luck everyone elseThat's all cool and all but I don't have no way to verify.
I mean he did test his steel, but I guess that’s just photosThat's all cool and all but I don't have no way to verify.
They're all in roughly the same range, i tested all 3 tonight.
This is the gyuto i believe.

The gyuto were testing in the 68-68.5 range, the honesuki tested in the 67.5-68 range. And that could have even just been error from flatness or surface finish, since i heat treated them all the same.
But nah, the geometry should make up for the high hrc, since, while it wont be thick directly at the edge because of how honesuki's are ground they tend to get thicker, sooner than a gyuto or other multipurpose knives. Also, i think it should still be in the same range of toughness (if not better, but this is not me saying that it will for sure be) as any of the commonly used japanese steels anyway.
As far as why theyre ground asymmetrical, I do think a big reason comes down to tradition, and because many japanese knife makers already do a lot of single bevel blades.
But i do think it can be useful, having a nearly flat side to kind of register against something while you cut.
Not sure if I will go symmetrical or not for this honesuki. I was thinking of going right biased. But idk.
I'm comparing knives to what I have. 1000 for. A knife that won't be noticably different is a waste. I'm literally doing cut test between zdp vg10 and magnacut. For 1000 bucks for a steel I might not notice the difference without a full tang. Keep that knifeGuess every japanese knife over 800 is useless, time to throw out all the honyakis, katos, shigs, tsukasas and kaijus people.

I think he means that he doesn't know if it's similar to 10v or k390, although all he would have to do is look up the compositions and compare...I mean he did test his steel, but I guess that’s just photos
I don't care about testing. I've done my own testing. I'm seeing a 250$ knife compete with 500+ dollar knives. I don't even know if the money spent is worth it. I see people talk **** about steels but I'm cutting through all kinds of material testing and coming to my own conclusions.I think he means that he doesn't know if it's similar to 10v or k390, although all he would have to do is look up the compositions and compare...
Since when does a tang do the cutting? You want to spend $1000 on something because it's different? I cannot follow.
You also don't need to do cut tests because they have been done before with thousands of dollars in lab equipment for you. Your tests won't matter, because they will not have controls in them, like having the same geometry, and there will be no precision. You can literally look up exactly how they will perform against one another, and I think earlier today the pages where those tests were performed were linked already.
Why am I even falling for this bait. @blokey you got it from here man I'm going to bed
This makes no sense at all, but it is your money.Yea if I'm pay 800 for a knife I'd expect a full tang. Just me. From using the knives bin have 800 should have a full tang. I'll buy a shun hiro for 450 before spending 1000 on a knife without a full tang
I'll troll my money on a company I know that that's supposed to have mediocre knives that I have and are performing as good as so called custom knives.
Yep. From my testing the 260$ knife is holding its own. Why spend 1000 when they offer a knife a step up for 450?This makes no sense at all, but it is your money.
Sounds good. You were asking questions, so we were trying to help. It sounds like you have it figured out and don’t need our help. Good luck with your search.Yep. From my testing the 260$ knife is holding its own. Why spend 1000 when they offer a knife a step up for 450?
I'm outside looking in. Not fooled but bulshit. I'm buying blades and do actual testing.
Is this the one you have?First off, let’s talk durability. Sure, the expensive ones might claim to be “ultra-durable” with “premium materials,” but trust me, stainless steel is stainless steel. I’ve been using my full tang knife for months, cutting through everything from raw meat to frozen vegetables, and it’s still sharp as ever. Meanwhile, people with those high-end knives are constantly sharpening them – sounds like a waste of time to me.
why spend $260? Just spend $10, believe me I know blades: https://www.amazon.com/MasterWork-O...11&sprefix=full+tang+chef+knif,aps,122&sr=8-8Yep. From my testing the 260$ knife is holding its own. Why spend 1000 when they offer a knife a step up for 450?
