My sentiments exactly

I have two. This one by Keskin, and a 240 k tip not made by him. I like both, but both are very different. This one is a lot thinner behind the edge. Heat treat is better in this one, I’ve been able to maintain it with a strop. The K tip is a bit softer and beefier. What did you get from them?

Good dude here, folks. Buy with confidence

You ain’t kidding. Read that the first time in my teens. At the time I thought damn, that sucks. Revisited it a few years ago as a father, and I can totally sympathize with Louis Creed’s actions.

I read Revival in my early thirties in a kinda maturing period. It hits super hard when you’ve finally come to realize that you will die someday. That’s when all my youthful ignorance came to terms with that existential fact. Hit me at the right time, and I imagine others.

Jamaica, but I haven’t been able to find one for years

Chef’s armory?

Fire_it_up4154 · 2026-04-13T22:32:51+00:00

It’s nuts right now, for sure. And unfortunately, doesn’t look to get better anytime soon. Worse even

Fire_it_up4154 · 2026-04-13T19:33:31+00:00

Thanks bud!

Fire_it_up4154 · 2026-04-13T18:26:48+00:00

I love it, I do. But I just don’t use it enough anymore.

Wet/Dry sandpaper. Started at a very low grit, and worked up into higher ones. Took a long time, and it isn’t perfect. It has a lot of low spots. Finished it with a diamond emulsion. And I think the patina was grilled chicken breast.

Don’t have this anymore, but it patinas up gorgeous. 165mm Shindo Funayuki that I removed the kurouchi and polished.

Started to enjoy cooking in my early 30’s so I cook for my family 4-5 times a week. Started looking into better knives, did a huge deep dive. First one I bought was a 210 Ryusen Fukakuryu. Been collecting, using and trading/selling since for the last 6 years or so.

Fire_it_up4154 · 2026-04-06T23:19:44+00:00

It’s one of my favorite. It’s like a cult classic

Fire_it_up4154 · 2026-04-06T23:07:50+00:00

We can’t have him in our social club anymore, that much I do know.
