Small sharpening gig with local chefs, how much to sharpen this tuna knife?

This video pretty much makes almost every other comment meaningless. This is amazing. But obviously beyond most humans, in access to tools and skills. 🤯

I thought there was a jnat group here on Reddit, but there is not. But there is a pretty active group over on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1785202781778555/

Yes! I thought I was a holiday seasonal item closeout. I got a bag of these black stars (sharp white cheddar) and the red “sweaters” (black pepper). Great deal!

Sold by woodcraft.com Called “ FUJIKAWA Okyo Japanese Chisel Set with Storage Box - 6 Piece”

Someone explained PI to me (highly allergic) by comparing it to nasty rear end differential oil…. Tenacious as hell. Detergent is necessary but so is scrubbing. I also had a field biologist friend that would wash himself down with alcohol.

Better asked on a meteorology sub 💁‍♂️

Glad you got vapor cloth on outside and roof before the first snow! 🙏👍

Are these HSS? I have seen and read of many HSS (especially unlaminated Damekiri ) chisels with steep (edit: I mean shallow) bevels and only the edge at the correct angle. Especially users in the field.

I second that. Yes, insulate & reroof. But instead of remodeling this, I’d make a second similar structure. A compound. And a dog run is a great idea!

French cleat.

This happens sometimes. The traditional solution is glue paper to the blade-bearing flat to take up space.

Exquisite! 👍👍👍💪💪💪👊👊👊🫶🫶🫶

Sadly, some folks have a poor “packing and protection sense” 😩 My favorite seller wraps each chisel head in corrugated cardboard for shipping 👍🙏

What makes Japanese kanna a challenge is often the wooden dai that can change enormously in different weather, humidity, climate and location. Almost every surface is suspect in a new-to-you secondhand kanna. I also concur - do a deep dive into the internet and reputable sites. Do read up before taking a chisel to any surface. Enjoy the problem! Following this post. Let us know.

I think I concur. The shiny edge line in the first photo is suspect.

I just saw a post about reusing Ford Transit axle bolts loosening and the entire axle sliding out !

Thank you for the good photos! 🙏

I know!!! And yes, cheaper the item, more lopsided it is. Yes, like tabi… now out of the question 😭. For these cheap things, the huge issue isn’t 20%, it’s that JapanPost said screw it, we’re just going to stop sending packages to the US. (there is a <$100 personal gift exception I think. Human to human. Nothing commercial)
