This one is for the TF cultists and enthusiasts … or anyone who loves high quality, low maintenance W1 knives (with character)! Comes with a unique and tasteful handle that is a riff in the standard wa handle but with much more elegance and interest (in my opinion).
Purchased this easily (it...
Hi everyone, this time I am after a smaller Tetsujin, either a Nakiri or Santoku with kasumi finish. Looking for a friend.
Strong preference for BNIB and not fussed about the handle.
Not looking to spend an arm and a leg, as these are widely available. Prefer somewhere that can ship to...
Hi :D
Here's a old santoku blade from Moritaka that I've bought in a set of vintage knives

Here is the latest collaboration with my Canadian colleague Matt Sicard!
The blade
I ordered Matt 6 Santoku and I wanted a stainless steel capable of giving it in the kitchen in terms of performance and we agreed to choose AEB-L. Matt really like to make laser grind and believe me this one is...

The blade
The first knife from our collaboration that we are offering is a 195mm Santoku in w2 steel. To own a honyaki blade from Matt with the same geometry, it's simply pure pleasure. I still marvel at...
Trying to thin out my Yu Kurosaki collection to clear space for some new knives!

So, I talked to Jon, the owner of Japanese Knife Imports in california, and he told me that ceramic honing rods aren't good for your knife. I forget exactly why but he was pretty passionate about it and went into specifics that went over my head.
So my question is, what's the best way to touch...
looking to pick up either a Takamura SG2 santoku, or a Miyabi mizu SG2 santoku. Help me decide? Both use SG2 steel and are around the same price. im leaning more towards the miyabi because its much heavier. (226g) vs the takamura which is only 147g. The miyabi also looks so much better to me...
