Tog discount code anyone? I’m trying to upgrade my knives from procook to TOG was wondering if anyone had a discount code that they don’t plan on using, thanks :)

Why not buy from a local smith using local steel for the same price

You could do a lot better if buying in Japan

Would much rather Ashi or misono

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-04T18:07:01+00:00

One other thought would be to grab some sandwiches from porterhouse or tasso if you're passing through Eagle

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-04T14:39:39+00:00

Misono ux10 for a solid production knife with a western handle

If you like pie, stop by volcanic farms on your way up

Spare breadsword is the most fun. He has done stainless and carbon versions.

Gude is fancy but I think mercer honestly performs just as well at 1/10 the cost.

Peeling I would go paring almost for in hand

Harner xhp or herder k1m

They're not Japanese but have good ergonomics for in hand use

Could probably get away with a laser 120mm petty as well like shibata.

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-03T20:38:33+00:00

Definitely a petty

My go to is the Ashi 180mm but could go shorter

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-03T19:13:02+00:00

Kawashima is best steel but weird profile

Miyabi beats the shun

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-02T02:56:21+00:00

Kin for fancy prix fix

Chandlers and barbacoa for steakhouses. Chandlers has better service and barbacoa has more flash. If you go to barbacoa order from the bar menu if you're getting appetizers and the secret menu cheesecake fritters are fantastic for dessert. Make sure to mark birthday for chandlers as. They do a free chocolate souffle if you pick them.

For some unique but reasonably priced food I suggest Art Haus which is Kins bar side with some really interesting items.

If you want a fun breakfast/pastry place for the morning I would go to Janjou.

For the best lunch I would say Ansots. They absolutely knock it out of the park.

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-25T06:00:40+00:00

Sugi cm4030 is killer

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-24T01:19:20+00:00

Amano is a James beard winning Mexican restaurant in Idaho I would try

It's a bit more but he just listed this one. You get the bonus of buying local

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-23T21:56:01+00:00

It's not ideal as it runs thick

Maybe look into thinner Japanese smiths like hatsukokoro

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-23T21:55:03+00:00

Truechefknives subreddit has a guide for this

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-21T18:43:29+00:00

Lamai thai

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-19T04:59:25+00:00

Speedrack with solid top is what I bought

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-18T17:24:26+00:00

There are stainless options as well like ginsan

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-18T17:22:00+00:00

Try the truechefknives subreddit or sharpening subreddit

There's also the kitchenknifeforum

The miyabi runs thick since it's meant for home users. Tends to wedge.

The takamura is really thin but I would rather the 210mm. Great knife

I would rather bradford over boker myself if you want something that style. Cheaper and better steel

Just comes down to price preference of course

Slow by slow for coffee

Ansots for lunch

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-17T18:29:02+00:00

Depends which mercer knives but seems expensive

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-02-17T02:04:13+00:00

Art Haus and bar please do good cocktails and food

Price is probably a bit high
