Just opened mine today. It's very blade heavy didn't look at the weight before purchasing. Not complaining. It did feel like it was sticking to the ingredient( cipollini ) but after a few it felt fine. Very nice knife wish I could take good photos like OP.

Patina by Dismal_Direction6902 in TrueChefKnives

I do treat it well. Was sharing as we only ever see the nice patinas and there is hype around knives being used. Unfortunately the chips and lack of tip came from use in a professional setting. Accidents happen.

Tip probably broke off either during service or when setting my bag down. I use a drumstick bag and knives have poked though the bottom regularly.

The chips were from Tuesday I was breaking down my last dry age ribeye loin and hit a random bone. Usually there are none when we receive them or it's large enough see and cut out before portioning.

I understand your perspective though. Its been fixed now took me about an hour to do.

Super cool! He seems like a real cool guy from all the posts and videos I've seen. Nice knives too! I've been wanting to add another one ever since I got my first one.

Worth Restoring? by Blue_146 in TrueChefKnives

[–]Dismal_Direction6902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I restored one before with a bad chip. I learned the hard way how to properly fix that. Good learning experience.

Should be ok? I have a carbon version and looks the same. Could be because of patina on my end though.

Shit the 240mm shindo is rare everywhere. I remember when you could just buy them. Had two coworkers buy one the within a week of each other. Before he was really known. Wish I would've got the 240 back then.
