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 noticed the lamination line is very close to the edge, how does one take it up with out further thinning?, sandpaper/fingerstones?.Last picture against the window is from the tip of the knife
I believe it's only a few specific Morihei Hisamoto models that are TF made, the one I linked to, the bolstered/fine finish versions, and these in stainless cladding: https://strataportland.com/collecti...nless-clad-tsuchime-210mm-gyuto-pakka-westernWait 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.
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 for chips.I noticed the lamination line is very close to the edge, how does one take it up with out further thinning?, sandpaper/fingerstones?.
Thanks for posting these pictures. Are they from before you did the thinning?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 don't know and also don't care as the steel is really good. That said, any AS i tried has been really solid.Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think those are the only Morihei TFs.
After but i have not done much so far.Thanks for posting these pictures. Are they from before you did the thinning?
The Ashi makes more noise because it's not as thin behind the edge, but thinner in the blade face. Silent cutters are thin very close to the edge
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.and usually toward the tip the wide bevel angle lowers or gets more acute.
I'll probably start with polishing the spine and choil and making a handle. But, my intent is to spend a lot of time on it and risk messing it up. This is the perfect knife for me to learn on imo because if all goes well I'll have something that performed better than stock with great steel and ht. And if I mess it up it'll still perform ok and not cost too much.I would avoid trying to completely remove the chip and instead just use the knife, sharpen as it dulls. It's not the biggest chip at all, and most of it will come out in a brief sharpening. I wouldn't necessarily adjust the profile . . . It takes a lot of effort to make a knife slide right into food after reprofiling. Nice stone polished bevels is more a vanity thing, and not many knives are made such that there will be pretty even bevels, at least immediately. You can use a straightedge to check the grind, to see if it's gonna be a big hassle or not.
Its easy to make things worse, too. Like introducing a recurve while thinning or wide bevel sharpening, scratching up the blade face, etc.
Interesting.

I guess my question is, and I know it's not black and white, does this grind look like it would benefit from thinking? And how thin is too thin?
