Not knowing the weight it is hard to tell if they are the same as the Wakui/Kochi V2 that you see everywhere else but it looks that way. Hate to say it but these are cheaper elsewhere and often come with very nice chestnut handles. Wakui V2 (btw: that linked shop has a Wakui migaki iron clad...

If i would eat more meat i would definitely buy whole animals and butcher away so i would definitely have a honesuki or similar at least. Pretty sure you use your "meat knives" often enough. (Not counting the cow swords ;-)) And yes, the bad quality of meat in germany is another sad topic...

Don't feel sorry for them. Its everbodys choice, they probably prefer it that way and chances are they are in a much better health state than very regular meat eaters. I rarely eat meat although it probably still is too much. Also don't crave it that often and most of the time i am underwhelmed...

JNS new sharpening wheel doesnt look particularly well cooled (IG). Sorry for the OT and can't seem to link the post atm.

It is tool steel not aogami, right? Can you post choil and spine shots and tell where the balance is? Thanks

I was pretty spoiled in the Ruhrgebiet and Berlin having asian groceries, indian shops and turkish supermarkets in vicinity. Now i try to carry as much as possible when i am in berlin. We also ordered big batch of asian noodles once. It is worth it i would say although not avery sustainable...

Correct me if I´m wrong but the Yoshikanes with this finish are usually SKD12/A2 and not SKD11/SLD. Example Tosho Otherwise let me know where you got this from.

After but i have not done much so far. Stainless cladding is a lot of work and i take my time.

I don't know and also don't care as the steel is really good. That said, any AS i tried has been really solid. One thing i notice is that you can clearly see the core steel at the spine.(zoom in) Something i have seen at other TFs too. Looks handlaminated but i don't know.

These look like real bargains and at this price especially! Thinking of getting a 210mm as stainless option.

Last picture against the window is from the tip of the knife

I have uploaded a couple that you can search for but will take more recent ones for you wirh choil and geometry shots. Gimme a day or so

I bought exactly that nakiri and fitted a handle. It is not a thin knife but not too thick either. Mine definitely benefits from some thinning, especially towards the tip. Slowly working on it. The profile is more of a constant curve than just flat. The core steel is rock! hard and the...

Not an expert but this looks like a cladding line to me if I´m not mistaken so I´d bet it is indeed an iron clad version. Most of the new offerings seem to be 52100 mono steel which should make a nice project knife. Other than that I´d suggest a monosteel SK steel knife as project knife. These...

That is weird! 52100 has >1% carbon and is far from being very reactive. I love mine for those reasons. Develops a nice patina but is easy to care for. Maybe you have a knife that is not monosteel but with iron cladding? I would bet on it! Most of their recent offerings seems to be monosteel so...

Not sure you´re looking for 240mm,210mm etc. but this shop in germany has a 210mm KU with the same profile (by the looks): mazaki-white-2-nashiji-gyuto-210-mm You could send it on to the handle maker afterwards?

Of course not and hats not what i said; ignoring the last sentence which was half a joke. He might not be and i hate judging but he is using aggressive marketing to move his stuff fast. And i seriously doubt the quality when i see a santoku made out of B1 steel with a fancy handle below 100$...

I am more worried about how the bladesmiths manage to turn a profit with greedy distributors like that. Or better how the bladesmiths adjust the quality long-term to be able to make blades at that price. It is real easy to see that pushing prices further and further down is neither good for the...

Looks like a very interesting series! Not that I need anymore knives! Guess they wanted to say something else here. (sent them a text) "The G10 is a very durable material and very sensitive to water, cold, heat, rot or corrosion."
