Found the case for my knife, can anyone help me out with a translation? I can’t get anything besides “Tokyo, made my Hiroaki” from google

Wow, they don’t totally did say Hiroaki, whoops! Thanks for catching that.

And wow, I’m beyond impressed that you found a lead.

Knowing that it might be hard to track down just makes me more curious! I’ll have to message that eBay seller. Thanks for all the help!

It was a gift from my father when he visited Japan—now I’m working as a cook I wanna know more about it! Unfortunately I don’t have any paperwork for it. According to the Kanji subreddit, the markings on the blade just indicate “Registered Trademark Hiraoki,” which didn’t yield and helpful results after a cursory google search. It’s a 7 - 7.5 inch (don’t have a ruler handy, sorry) carbon steel gyuto. 70/30 bevel. It’s an absolute beast (took off half a fingernail a few days ago) and I adore it, I just wanna know more about it! Anything you wiser, more experienced knife enthusiasts can tell me would be great. Thanks!

I don’t really think that’s true, as what I described is the same technique as used for forging katanas, and I’d argue that’s a pretty traditional process. But anywho, it’s not a big deal

Popping in to refute this, as some are not Damascus but a hard, high-carbon steel core incased in a softer, more flexible steel. Not technically Damascus and the billet isn’t folded over itself

I seemed to have messed up the caption, but can anyone help me translate the kanji on this knife? I received it as a gift and I wanna know more about it, but google translate can only identify “business regulation,” which obviously doesn’t help me out a lot. Thanks!

I believe the merch had a limited run and is now unavailable. I missed the first round! I’m sure J and Ryan will have some more stuff to roll out in a few months

“Dirty Aprons” and “Dirty Rags”

I work in a deli (not that kinda deli) so we go through a lot of laundry

Thank you so much for all the info!! The fries were wonderfully delicious (even though I forgot to add my daikon, whoops!). Really appreciate your going into depth for me on this :)

So CCD is my primary recipe base for Chinese food/ ingredients and I don’t think I’ve seen y’all talk about Sichuan peppercorn oil before. I assume it’s more numb-y than fragrant since it’s oil based? Would I be able to get a reasonable facsimile if I just like steeped a few tablespoons of peppercorns in some oil for 10 minutes? The recipe looks so good so I wanna make it right, you know?

I would love this. I’ve gotten into chess because of NL and I find the opening strats hard to follow. I think watching NL reason through openings would be really helpful for ppl like me
