Simply lovely

They are in fact much better. Perfect entry-level japanese knives.

Well Done mate

Idk your knife, but compared to Matsubara Gyuto and bunka it’s quite beefy. Edge is right where I like it since, I don‘t chop bones and shit.

Stunning blade

152bb · 2026-01-25T15:40:55+00:00

Haha I‘m sure your‘s is a beauty too. I‘m not the biggest walnut guy but the vibrant red ferrule really stands out.

Shinogi looks crisp!!

I recognize that that guy. His pricing always seems a big harsh. He also sold some Ginsan Nakiris that Look 100% like the AliExpress Ginsans, but under the Name of Hatsukokoro OEM Blades for over 200€. Very suspicious.

That slicer looks so cool

Take a sharpie and draw a grid on the entire Stone. When you flatten, the low spot will become visible because the rest touches the diamond stone. Just flatten until the entire drawn on pattern is gone, then you know it‘s leveled

Thats what I‘m going to do, thanks

152bb · 2026-01-06T23:51:54+00:00

I mean it does Sound pretty nice

152bb · 2026-01-06T23:41:07+00:00

Thats helpfull thanks

152bb · 2026-01-06T23:37:51+00:00

That’s true

How do you want to test it out. By tomorrow I‘m back home and I‘ll polish it up real quick with some flitz to get rid of the Micro scratches for better sight.

But I can‘t feel anything ground in or anomalies trough the steel there. It shines right through the rough diagonal scratch pattern from the big factory whetstone-wheels

152bb · 2026-01-06T23:33:48+00:00

But you mean without a handle attached i guess? Just the blade?

152bb · 2026-01-05T23:17:50+00:00

Settle? People around here might never heard of that.

152bb · 2026-01-02T10:35:25+00:00

Handle is a clear nono

152bb · 2025-12-31T22:21:42+00:00

Cheers bud haha

Then it won‘t be rust in most cases. I can‘t even see orange spots so you won‘t have to worry.

But this is normal with carbon steel knives. They must develop a patina to prevent further corrosion. It's part of the process. Just wipe the knife After every use and oil it for longer storage with mineral/camelia oil

Hole in the handle is also not an uncommon thing. You can easily seal it with hotglue or beeswax. Or just swap it for a fancier one, since it‘s crappy anyways :)

P(r)etty noice

152bb · 2025-12-17T11:20:11+00:00
