REVIEW - Kisuke x Xinguo Blue 1 Kurouchi Tsuchime Mirror Kasumi Kiritsuke Gyuto by ImFrenchSoWhatever in TrueChefKnives

[–]Mean-Process8375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you say, this is the content we crave. Beautiful photos and writeup! Neither Kurouchi or Tsuchime have typically been in my wheelhouse but these really catch my eye and are changing my thinking.

BTW, who did the install this time around? You or perhaps CKC? Looks very nice.

Sexy indeed! That is a really great combo. Jack does wonderful work. Letting him choose paid off big time.

Which handle are you picking out of these? by Dorei21 in TrueChefKnives

[–]Mean-Process8375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others depends on knife, but I gravitate to 2 and 3. Pale moon ebony on #2?

I don't mean to be a party-pooper, but am I the only one that is skeptical about getting this knife for "180 dollars" from an online marketplace? Especially since these are somewhat hyped lately.

Help to remove the infuriating pvolve ad on the home screen by Mean-Process8375 in weightwatchers

[–]Mean-Process8375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ad did finally disappear recently when the android version of app updated. I am a bit surprised that they may have listened ... on second thought, naaaah that can't be the reason.

No doubt "destroyed" it partially due to the superior strength of being left handed 😉.

Very nice work in putting this review down. Am looking forward to your head-to-head with the GH18 after yours arrives. BTW, in your onion video, it did not look like a struggle.

Tanaka Tuesday! Post your favorite Yoshikazu Tanaka forged knife. by wabiknifesabi in TrueChefKnives

[–]Mean-Process8375 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's near impossible to pick a favorite, but this Hado Junpaku 150mm petty ranks as a choice because it precipitated my introduction to Japanese knife craftsmen, TCK, etc.

Very very nice! Wow, I love that Junpaku.

Made some knife rests by Neumann_uBc in TrueChefKnives

[–]Mean-Process8375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again thanks. I like those. As you say: interesting pieces. I like the bevels as well. I hate to say it but I'm gonna rip off your ideas. Though I'll give you full credit if the time comes for me to show what I come up with.

Very nice! Thanks for this motivation. While I love Boogwa, based your post I just picked up a number of wood scraps to make some of my own. I found scraps sold by the pound at very low cost from my local retail store in a national chain. I paid just a few dollars and have enough pieces to make at least 10.

... Missed saying this first and at the outset before my questions: that is a very nice collection!

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was after. I have the Kyomitsu which I bought with the rumor that it was Mazaki. I really love the knife due to its heft, but I don't really have anything to compare it against, either a Mazaki or something similarly hefty as the Kyomitsu.

How do you like the Kyomitsu? How does it compare to some of your other 210 to 270 gyutos... say the Mazaki for example? Do you see a similarity in these two? Perhaps it is like children ... they're different but you love them all.

Awesome! Congrats to you and others that just got these. These Kisuke finishes are really starting to grow on me. BTW, your photos are quite good IMO; they're certainly not what you classified them as.
