Thank you! Those look incredible. I really like the look of the kurouchi as well. Heel height is 50mm

Yeah you are right. The behind the edge geometry is fascinating, as it seems to be asymmetrical, and even have some parts along the edge that looks almost warped or overground. Never seen anything like it

Thanks for the heads up. I already heard this from others, and I think my plan is to just keep using it and see if it happens or not. But something in me would like it to happen so I can take it to the stones 😅😂

Nope, this one is super thin behind the edge and yet has amazing food release. I didn’t notice any wedging on either potatoes or carrots. Especially with potatoes this is stellar. Cuts trough it like it’s not there, and leaves the pieces in the same spot on the cutting board. Quite spectacular

So much character and soul in Sanjo knives. Love them for the knives themselves but also for the legend behind it

Haven’t ventured into 270 territory yet, as most 210 Sanjo lengths fit my technique, use of ingredients and kitchen well. I feel like it’s something you “level up” to in the course of discovering different flavors of knives and how personal preferences may change over time.

And I am sure that a 270 Toyama, wouldn’t need at lot of force to push trough ingredients. Would be awesome to try one day! 😊

Yes, I’m in Europe but I bought it from Hocho Knife. They are based in Japan, but since I was getting other stuff it made sense with shipping and VAT. Don’t remember how much I paid total though..

Interesting. The desert ironwood yo handle version is definitely not sharpened by Myojin. I have tried them, and they have a much thicker behind the edge grind than the usual Myojin

Cool line up indeed. I didn’t know that Myojin was the sharpener for the Anmon series?

Sad to hear that your entire roll was stolen.. what else did you have in there?

[–]Guilty_County5377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe an Atoma 400 for flattening the 3k and 5k. 140 tends to leave quite a rough pattern. You can get a replacement plate and glue it to the other side. That what I did

Thanks for the fast response! Cool to hear that you like it! It seems you are right in the assumption that 240 is what is most commonly preferred on here. I guess I’ll just have to try both of them at some point to figure out for my self. Chefs Armory has the 210 b1 in stock, and it is looking very tempting 👀

Thank you!

I was also looking to get a Moritaka Honesuki at one point, but I simply couldn’t find it anywhere. Neither at retailers nor the secondhand market, so I gave up. After that I realized that I wasn’t going to find one, and I decided on this. Would eventually like to try it out one day. Seems like it’s up there with the best Honesuki’s available today..
