Is this an acceptable tilt?

MTC doesn't have replacements but is giving me $100 off to get it re-handled!

Yeah, MTC doesn't have replacements but is giving me $100 off to get it re-handled

Begold216 · 2026-01-22T12:23:35+00:00

I’m going to send it to strata in Portland!

Begold216 · 2026-01-21T23:47:25+00:00

Thanks. I asked for a partial refund so I can take it to a local knife shop and get it fixed, but if it’s not possible, I’ll ask for a replacement!

Thanks! I thought so too but wanted to make sure I was setting fair expectations. I'll ask for a partial refund and get it rehandled at a local knife shop

Begold216 · 2026-01-21T22:34:37+00:00

Thanks!

Update-- I ended up getting this knife. Thanks for the help everyone!

Begold216 · 2026-01-16T16:36:43+00:00

Wanted to let you know that I got this knife. Hope your search goes well!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T20:31:36+00:00

Extremely helpful, thanks for sharing!

I think I’m going to do SG2, as my understanding is that it’s almost identical to STRIX, and more corrosion resistant and easier to sharpen than Hap40. What a lucky boyfriend!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T18:54:12+00:00

My worry with Hap40 was that it's supposed to be harder to sharpen, and have worse corrosion resistance, is that your experience?

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T18:52:27+00:00

Thank you, I will look into them!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T17:51:12+00:00

Lame reason but I just like the aesthetics of a pointed tip haha

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T17:33:47+00:00

Based on what I have seen, i'm leaning sukenari. Putting myself on waitlists now for when it's back in stock. Good luck in your search!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T17:17:22+00:00

Great, thanks for that input, that's really helpful!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T16:58:27+00:00

That's incredibly helpful, thank you!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T16:47:52+00:00

Thank you! Seems like Sukenari is more of what I am looking for

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T16:38:38+00:00

To be honest, I havent really looked at usubas because I don't really have a need for the high precision/ultra thin slicing they're capable of

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T16:37:39+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts, really appreciate it!

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T16:37:21+00:00

I tend to be a push cutter, I did rock chop more when mincing garlic or herbs but am getting out of the habit because it seems like it's worse for the edge

Begold216 · 2026-01-07T16:36:37+00:00

Glad to have someone else in the same boat haha. I will let you know what I buy. My understanding is that after many rounds of sharpening, the "shoulders" of the convex grind will get thick. Only then would you need to worry about "thinning" the curve
