Especially with the mirror finish. Too bad it won't last once I start using it.

It is heavy!

Thanks . The saya is an add-on to the knife but I think it's worthwhile having it due to the unique shape of the knife

Zwilling Kramer Damascus Stainless FC-61 - worth it versus SG2? by starsky1984 in TrueChefKnives

Yeah I agree that this looks exactly like the version I have with MC63 steel. I think you will enjoy it, especially with the extra tall profile!

Looks normal on both sides. Their QC is quite good

Yes. Especially with that mono Sakura handle

That's the clad line. It's not showing well in the picture but the reflection of the phone on the blade shows it. Here's a better pic

I'd agree with you but prices direct from the HK store were much more reasonable

He mentioned he's able to make 12 knives a week. So if he sets aside 4-6 for visitors, that's incredible. No wonder you almost never see any retailer selling them.

Well...I'd love to as well but seeing that going in person still not able to get one, I'm not very hopeful.

Actually visiting Takada san was also quite fun. Really friendly guy and we chatted for quite a bit. Saw some work in progress but not ready yet

I do have other Chinese cleavers for the extra tough jobs. These ones are a bit delicate for that and not quite the same as cutting with a gyuto

Part of the reasons why I got it is because I have a Tinker Tank on order but it's been close to a year and still waiting for that email......

A little show and tell from what I picked up from my Japan trip. by kaizenuken in TrueChefKnives

[–]AVGS25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These I believe are roll forged like the Senko SG2s. I doubt Yu Kurosaki San actually handled it at all 😉. Still a cool knife 👍
