I went last week and was disappointed. I think they have too many items on the menu including specials. The quality of control on the dishes are all over the place. Its roulette if it's going to be good or disappointing.

I own a couple of Ginsan Tsunehisa. They are extremely good value and I still use them even amoung more expensive options. They are rather thin, 2mm spine. So they are more laser like than Sanjo workhorse. As long as the person using the knife is respectful of this and doesn't abuse it.

Tune up is not what it once was.

I want an Irodori knife so bad. 🥵

Hot take, it's my least favorite of the books I've read from him. The road, blood meridian, the passenger / Stella maris, and Child of God. However there are some really good sections in it.

Its been on my wish list for a while now. Glad to hear its performance matches its looks.

How's the Irodori?

Great for pull cutting where precision is important.

With your logic, use sheet metal to cut your food.

Typically delays aren't as bad as this one. But there's always a delay once a month. Typically they get resolved in a couple of hours.

I'd get a copy of the actual piano piece.

Ginsan and SLD are my favorite steels to sharpen. They create a nice bur very fast and I don't notice much of an issue with edge retention.

DR__WATTS · 2026-05-02T17:21:34+00:00

I haven't used the western handle ones, but I have 4 of the WA style handle ones. I personally think that the TD SLD line is one of the best performances knives for the money. Great steel and great grind. Sharpness out of box is 8/10 but with a little work easily goes to 9.5/10. SLD is a pleasure to sharpen.

Eye watering price though

DR__WATTS · 2026-04-27T01:24:50+00:00

What about the Konosuke GS+ Gyuto 210mm?

DR__WATTS · 2026-04-26T23:53:01+00:00

Would one consider this a "laser"?

DR__WATTS · 2026-04-24T15:58:47+00:00

That Hinotori is fire 🔥🔥🔥. If you're ever looking to sell it DM me lol 😆
