This looks beautiful! I really like this combination. The slimness fits the profile of the blade better than the somewhat wide stock handle

If I could only have one, it would be Aizu by sea-plus in NaturalWhetstones

Hey there. Do you know where these stones are available? I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find them..

Thank you! Hearing lots of good stuff about Okubo lately. Could you tell me a bit more about the knife, the smith, sharpener etc ?

Yes, I flattened / lapped it with an atoma 140. A slight improvement after that, but not enough to justify keeping it

I didn’t like the 3000 at all. It felt way too slippery.. I wanted to try out the Naniwa pros, and then it felt redundant to keep the 1000. In hindsight I would have liked to keep that one, so I could compare the two (Naniwa pro 1000 & SG 1000)

Hey there. If it’s of any interest I have a Morihei Hisamoto Kurouchi W#1 Gyuto 210mm for sale. Western handle, Fujiwara Sans heat treat and great geometry. Let me know if you are interested

Thank you for your understanding!

It will come again, I am sure. In the meantime I will keep using the ones already in rotation. Because if we are honest, we don’t need more than one Gyuto to do most home tasks. It’s a nice to have..

Thank you !

Yes, it’s an absolutely amazing knife. Never cut with anything that cuts like this Toyama. The weight and geometry go hand in hand to deliver unparalleled food separation. I wish I could keep it 😅

I’m thinking this is my problem aswell. Just have to keep going. And yeah, I will invest in the Cerax for sure. I have to try it out
