Gang, I got this Nao Yamamoto gyuto thinned by District cutlery a couple of months ago. It lost its original finish with the Damascus and I was curious about bringing it out again without Stone. I bought some Gator Piss that came in yesterday and I immediately started playing with it. I sanded...

It's been over a decade since I have gone. I was mainly an EDC guy for the longest and now have my interests invested mainly in kitchen knives atm. So now I am doubly excited. I live about 80 miles north in NW GA and plan on attending this year. My understanding is that the Kitchen Knife...

So I am selling a knife and a potential buyer was asking if my Kanji was rusted. I didn't think it was and nothing scratched off when scraping with a needle, and camelia oil didn't make it really react in any meaningful way. I saw something similar on this knife. Any thoughts? Thanks.

All, I hadn't given much thought to setting new angles on a primary bevels, most of mine are pretty thin BTE, but is 15 degrees where it should stop as a good angle without compromising too much? This would be on the paper steels and, say, 52100. Could lower angles like 10 degrees be ok, say on...

I JUST got this Monday and my name came up for a custom slot well before I expected. I only got test cuts in with this one, a couple of carrots, so basically brand new. Perfect profile 235 x 60. Bog oak and masur Birch handle that is excellent as well. Great package all around. Original edge...

Gang, I am here to make some deals. Prices are made to move. $25 off for each multiple purchase. I put the Masashi's on there since I couldn't choose just one and I have a stainless K. Karys k-tip that competes with it for attention. I usually sell a knife if it can't make it through a big...

Gang, I got a handle on a knife that I am trying to take off. I don't want to have to destroy the handle to take it off. It is an Okubo santoku with the stock handle on it. I used the block of wood + mallet method, then I cooked it for 40 mins @ 180 and it still wouldn't come off. Any...

Gang, Looking to get a decent belt grinder for a hobbyist knife maker (me). I have a ton of knives I am selling and have different ones to trade for a grinder (please check my profile). I would prefer 2x72 with a 1hp motor, but am open to what's available. I would love to trade if we could, but...

Clearing out the drawers for spring. Most of these are ones that I am extremely ambivalent about selling, but I don't use them enough to justify them. I have another post up as well. Take a look at them all, discounts for multiples. Hado Junpako Gyuto $350 Shirogami 1 - Stainless Clad 240 50...

I ran across the Kumagoro knives at Epicurean Edge https://www.epicedge.com/shopexd.asp?id=84321 Looks like an Echizen knife. Anyone know the smith? Anyone have one of these and would like to share their experience? Thanks, Corey

Gang, So as the title states I have the knife above (going to go with an acronym here because the name is too long, STHK). If you are like me, you've seen this knife some and have been curious about it but the price has kept you away. Well, I found a decent price for it and the cat in me had to...

Ok, I did a trade with another forum member, it was pretty equal on paper. It was based on a BST ad to sell a knife and I approached the person about a trade. I happened to have something that would fit his bill and we decided that it was pretty much an even trade. I didn't ask if there was...

Ok, I hear the occasional reference to Massdrop collaborations with smiths. Questions: 1. Is this happening again? if so, who with? 2. How do I find out about these things and stay in the loop? 3. I like things in threes? Thanks all!

Gang, I have a knife with a forced patina on it. It needs some chamfering/rounding of the choil and spine. What's the best way to go about this without a bench or belt grinder? I have a dremel, sandpaper, and some moxie. And if I want to get a forced patina again to cover where I round, do I...

Gang, Someone suggested a new maker too me but I can't find too many reviews on them so to the Hivemind we go. Yoshida Hamono. Looks like they do the complicated laminating and heat treat of ZDP 189 and HAP 40 at their factory...
