    Martyfish's Knife Makeovers (Thinning, Refinishing and Handle Making)

    @Martyfish looks so comfy. Is there a reason to round the edge at the heal like this?

    Interesting. Is this true for nakiris as well? And do you mean this is often the goal when working on the bevels? I've see a lot of people mention wanting this when the tip is not thinned enough. This particular knife definitely has some high spots on the face where the shinogi creeps up. I'll...

    So you may have noticed I already messed this one up. My first chip out of a j knife 😭. I tried to hold it up right with a clamp to take a picture of the grind and it slipped forward, hitting the heel directly on the counter and chipping the edge. I lost probably a millimeter or two. Obviously...

    I got the Morihei today. Looking at it I realized it's not all that denka-like per se. It has the semi polished Tsuchime finish of the Maboroshi, the preliminated construction of the nashiji, and the steel of the denka. I'm not sure which line the grind is most similar to. Maybe the mab? Can...

    Thanks for posting these pictures. Are they from before you did the thinning? I went ahead and ordered one. I know this idea will be controversial 😏. But, now I'm wondering if I should cut a choil notch on my water jet?! 🤣🤣🤣

    Good point! That second picture makes it look like it's all the way down to the secondary bevel. My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that as long as your cutting edge is core steel you're okay. And chips will stop at the cladding line. So the lower the line is the smaller the potential...

    Yes I'd love to see pics of yours! I think I'll just order one. You're describing exactly what I realized I was looking for after thinking about taking on a "real" project knife like @refcast so technically offered. A handle, some thinning and polishing and good hard steel. Tetogi has free...

    Wait so this AS SS clad nakiri is very very denka like then? I hadn't seen this version and I'm not into the riveted handles. But this one seems like a good fit for what I was looking for other than being a little smaller are more bellied.

    I have a good imagination but I can't see the beauty in that bunka. Anyone who would take that on with just stones and sandpaper is a better man than me. I have a 2x72 grinder. But, I'm not ready to start using it on knives. Looking for a less stimulating stones only project.

    These look super cool! But probably a little too big given I still feel the need to learn my preferences and I haven't even tried a standard 165mm. I have a cck1302 that I don't use much because it's pretty uncomfortable to me and has a lot of drag. These look like they're close to cleaver size...
