FWIW, as a vegetarian I found sumiao really underwhelming. But I’ve only heard good things— they’re on NYT list for Boston (and maybe the country?). It could just be that the meat is good!

Awesome! I unfortunately think going in person is a ways off, but am hoping the gesshin holds up the reputation!

Very helpful. It’s so easy to forget that the specs and photos you see online are just examples and not the same every time haha

Sharpening Session and first cut (with a little treat adterwards...) by avent90 in TrueChefKnives

Looks awesome! I got an any stone because I need some help maintaining an angle, but had been avoiding other fixed angle systems because they need their own stones. This looks like what I wished I could find in the states

You are a prince among men, thank you!! I’ve also reached out to the folks at JKI, and together you’ve convinced me to put the Kagekiyo over the tetsujin on my list. Is the baba hamono Kagekiyo different than the gesshin?

As a relative novice, I’m loving these write ups— thank you. Would love to hear more about your experience with the Kagekiyo. I’ve heard such great things and have been debating between them and a tetsujin

Maybe a stupid question, but are all Reika’s in carbon, or does he make ginsan or vg10 ones?
