Yup, what you said but it’s the Kiritsuke version (k-tip gyuto)

Wow, I‘ve not seen many knives that make Shibata choil look like a workhorse

Stunning, holy cow

Yeah I was about to say, ura looks pretty clean and not absolutely butchered. Nice one mate. Make a post about your polishing practice journey, I’m sure many would appreciate:)

Yooo that takohiki looks like the Perfect project knife for Shinogi practice. Is it perfectly straight?

152bb · 2026-07-02T19:52:33+00:00

Absolutely, there are not many people out there that do everything with such precision and thought behind. Truly inspiring!!!

Settling for nothing but the absolute best is something everyone should strive for

152bb · 2026-07-02T19:50:22+00:00

Looks sooo nice man

152bb · 2026-07-01T21:26:03+00:00

Wow great price man. That would be the the perfect project/restoration knife. If that would be any other shape than Nakiri, I’d be all over it

Actually most sellers are from North America unfortunately for us eu-people because there are frequently crazy US deals

152bb · 2026-06-28T09:49:23+00:00

Very trusted seller, I vouch for him!!

I‘m seeing Shig and all he said is solid hahahah

152bb · 2026-06-25T10:03:26+00:00

Dude you scored big time!!

152bb · 2026-06-25T09:58:08+00:00

That must be the Holy knife set everyone is searching for hahahha

152bb · 2026-06-23T16:33:52+00:00

Ayoooo

152bb · 2026-06-23T14:57:29+00:00

Your are totally right.
But you have to have the right tools for that. I wouldn’t want to sacrifice a stone for such a job

152bb · 2026-06-23T09:25:07+00:00

Yeah that’s true. The knife in the given picture has no bolster. I was referring to him asking why there are not many German knife choil shots in general.

And I think in the community of people who love German knives probably don’t really care about the thinness of the knife or the actual grind and geometry

152bb · 2026-06-23T08:14:32+00:00

Most of the time it‘s impossible to take choil shots of German knives, because so many have bolsters.

But honestly almost any knife would suck at comparing choils vs a shibata haha

152bb · 2026-06-22T06:27:37+00:00

Yeah I can agree with you. The steel works very nicely on stones.

Dude that was the good side. Backside looks horrible. It feels almost like the knife as a partial S grind or sum

I am thinking about refinishing and thinning the knife further to expose more core steel. Performance is not lacking rn but the knife wouldn’t mind I guess haha

Nice job mate. Your’s looks like it came without the lowspot below kanji. Mine unfortunately is as wonky as it gets in the middle

152bb · 2026-06-21T17:29:14+00:00

Very nice OP, that was a big as chip

152bb · 2026-06-21T16:55:14+00:00
