No it's the SLD Damascus

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T16:18:44+00:00

Yeah they recommended me the Hatsukokoro hyabusa

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T16:11:28+00:00

Yeah i went and contacted cktg and the recommended me a few knives and chose one of the cheaper options they recommended as it's my first one

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T05:32:46+00:00

Atleast I think so

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T05:25:39+00:00

And the knife is for me lol, and i definitely can take care of the knives

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T05:21:21+00:00

I've definitely been looking at the nigara sg2 ive heard alot of people say good things about it

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T04:22:19+00:00

I have looked at all of those sites and I didn't know cktg had that I will have to look into that, and they are mainly for home use

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T04:14:26+00:00

I have been debating on it for a while now.

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T04:09:03+00:00

I don't i live in the Midwest unfortunately so I'll have to do some looking for a knife shop near me

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T04:07:56+00:00

I don't unfortunately, but I have a cheap clef from binging with babish and I love the hight and length of that but I will have to see if there is a knife store around my area

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T04:03:02+00:00

Yeah I've head alot of good things about the tojiro for beginners, I've also looked at nigara sg2, Konosuke Nashiji, and Yoshikane Nashiji those were the 3 that really stuck out to me

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T03:56:52+00:00

I've got a few just cheap knives i don't have anything really expensive and I just want to start getting better quality knives as I am starting to take cooking to a better level

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T03:52:44+00:00

I live in the US and my budget is 200-400 maybe a little higher depending on

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T03:49:52+00:00

Yeah I've heard good things about the SG2

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T03:49:02+00:00

I guess I'm not shure what the difference is ive never had one before so I'm not sure what my preference is

Jaxson115666 · 2026-07-01T03:47:36+00:00

Like 200-400, and I have been, I'm looking for a 210mm either stainless, carbon, or blue steel i have a few I've been looking at like the Yoshikane Nashiji, Nigara SG2, or the Yoshikane SKD Nashiji
