That sounds sweet too!

Hey everyone! I wanted to gauge the interest in a meetup in Chicago next year, probably in the summertime. I own Northside Cutlery here and would love to welcome all the knife enthusiasts and makers to the store to hang out and discuss sharp things. I've been fortunate to have met some amazing...

I also am not great with before and afters, but here a few that I have documented. The single bevel set from Korin was rough... and it's always met with "I don't know how it happened, I take proper care of them".

I'm also in Chicago! It's definitely getting out of hand. And as a knife store owner myself here in the city, I've decided to not put the option for tips. Some people ask I'd they can leave a tip, especially on sharpening services. But I set my prices the way they are to not have to rely on...

Hi All! I am ready to write this review. Sorry for the crazy ride so I'll keep it short and sweet. Everyone had great reviews before and seemed to cover the ins and outs of the knife nicely. I just wanted to thank @jedy617 for giving me the chance and everyone involved to make it happen, thanks...

Shipped out today. I'll get my review on it up soon. For your troubles I put it in a new padded case with a saya and new box for packing.

Hey everyone, I'm ready to pass the knife onto the next person. I believe @ptanks15 is up next?

Love the thread! My take on it goes back to that romanticism aspect. To me, one person making the knife doesn't make it better, performance, fit and finish, or otherwise. One person making the entire knife has to deal with a lot including forging, heat treat, grinding, profiling, sharpening...

Hi everyone, I have a friend visiting Siena Italy near Florence and I was curious if there are any Italian knife makers out that way? He's an aspiring chef and knife maker and wants to see if he can visit anyone to learn a little more or see their shops! Thanks ya'll

Yes you can buy the pre-made billet of damascus from Takefu as well as san mai billets, cu-mai etc. My personal opinion is if you start knife making, you quickly realize it isn't the easiest to forge weld your own billets, so buying pre-made, consistent billets is a nice option. Also, if you're...

Nice finds! I've done a good bit of restoration on handles of the same condition and they turn out great. Can't wait to see them finished up!

Nah no problem, it was totally my fault for not responding, and I get it, I'd be pretty upset too if someone just had the knife and didn't say anything! I got to use it once so far, but I'll give a full review once I ship it out!

I'll put it in a new padded case and ship it in a new box. I think it's the least I can do after causing everyone a scare! I might just fit it with a saya too, I have to see if I have one that fits.

It looks like it was just put on with the beeswax. I don't mind using it as is, it doesn't feel like it'll come off during cooking. Or I can hot glue it in if wanted.

Jut got the knife in! The packaging is a little beat up, but the knife looks like it's in pretty good condition. The case has a tear and the zipper is broken and the knife doesn't really fit. I'm going to ship it back out in a newer, bigger proper fitting padded case. A few scratches near the...

I'm not as active at checking daily as I should be (especially on my days off) so that's my bad. I was just going to post when I received it.

Hey guys... my shop is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have it shipped there so it doesn't get stolen because they don't leave it anywhere. I don't have notifications on for the forum, my apologies. I'm getting the knife tomorrow my UPS guy knows we are closed and will bring it tomorrow.

Hi! I think I'm up nex?

Hey guys, I goofed and didn't hit send on my reply 🙃 if you don't mind putting me after @T85 Or I don't mind getting in on the last spot either. Sorry for the mixup!

It's this line...
