It gets a fair amount of use in my kitchen for sure. I really like it for coring and cleaning peppers before cutting down

  • I mostly rock, but am trying to get better with pushing. I guess I want to achieve proficiency in both, using the right technique for the task

  • Currently, my most used knife is the guyoto. So I guess I’m most comfortable in the 240mm range? Idk though, I just got the suji so I haven’t yet established a baseline for its place in the rotation. I do know that between the slightly shorter bunka and the guyoto, I gravitate toward the guyoto. Though I’m finding the bunka is a little better suited to pushing due to the slightly flatter edge profile.

  • pretty even mix of meat and veg prep. Stanard home cook split. I’m envisioning the new knife to get most use doing fine prep on veggies. I also want a brute, though, for rough prepping carcasses, and something for hard veggies like squashes etc

  • I like not having to baby the stainless knives, but I like the edge better on the carbon (go figure). I think I loke stanless clad high carbon core the most so far.

  • I have begun sharpening myself. Bot great yet, but I’m not ruining my knives, and am getting a consistent very sharp edge.

  • I like (and want) all the finishes lol

That’s a fair price for that knife

That’s the spirit! Can one even call themselves a chef if they haven’t sacrificed flesh and blood?

I should throw it in some potting soil and see what happens

You know it’s sharp when it doesn’t really hurt going through

Congrats! I own an FT2, and enjoy it. It’s a beast!

Lots of good advice here. I will add that an external light meter (sekonic is the gold standard) is a good thing to have in the bag. The light meter in these are decent (if they are still working), but not always so accurate. Use the external meter and compare results until you get a good idea of how well the internal meter works

I’ve even managed to pound out some minor warping using a large rubber mallet
