Hida tools will do it...thanks Mr. McMan. I can't wait to spend $4000 on some chisels as well!

I love my little dragon fly. Over budget, but I have some small (and large) sebenzas dating from 2012. Contact me privately.

Now that I am retired I am resurrecting the wood shop. I have some Oiuchi chisels I bought 40 years age. (Did I really just say that?) I need to source some missing hoops - the rings that go around the top of the handle. Does anyone have a clue as where to get these? Thanks, Seth

Tin lined copper is my favorite for fish and meat sauté. de Buyer steel for eggs. I was lucky to trip over a local cooking store going out of business. I wish I had had $10,000 - their collection was amazing including restaurant sized copper. I managed about 6 pieces that I use to this day (30...

I've been using this way lately: or this view:

Masamoto, right?

I like to use a wiping varnish or thinned spar; wipe on 3 coats, light sanding in between if necessary. Final sanding very fine paper. After a day, I top coat with renaissance wax and buff. This is a little more labor intensive but I like the results.

I love pivot tables...

I just re-did a 24" boardsmith with a 22" plane. Good planes this size are expensive unfortunately but with our sharpening skills it is a quick job; took about an hour. The heavy plane helps push through the end grain though I would imagine any sharp plane would work well if properly adjusted to...

Here are a few. I'm not sure if okay to post here so maybe pm if you want to know more. Thanks, Seth (Lucretia, Saltydog, Chris....I feel lonely here....)

Second knife sold SPF. Thanks everyone. Anyone need a pocket knife, Chris Reeve. I've noticed a whole new crop of people here...I date from three forums ago, maybe 12 years or so. Where are the old peeps....

Slicer SPF. Beautiful little gyuto still available.

Yes, I am keeping the kiteiji version of the 180 and I love it. I can't really say which I like more. On the 270s, I kept the kasumi and sold the other. The 180 kasumi has a great feel in hand - hate to see it go.

216 x 33.5 on slicer 182 x 43 on gyuto

Two Kasum originally bought from Makssxskim a couple years back. Light home use, very mild scrathing that will polish out, etc. $525 each.

SPF - thanks all!

258 grams balanced at the heal. I have a 270 shig kasumi with original handle at 278 grams...for comparison. Obviously the weight is from the denser handle (ironwood). I would think that this is a user type knife rather than collector because of the custom handle. I love the feel of this knife...

50mm x 242mm; $1300

I got this from Marko back when he was primarily a handle maker, about eight years back. Some home use, part time drawer queen. PM or post questions; I'm not that great at photo posting.... Probably sharpened half dozen times over the years but in very good condition. (I also have some chris...

240 Shig, Marko handle, $1400
