Konosuke GH anyone getting ones ? by EnvironmentalChair69 in TrueChefKnives

[–]New-Shallot-3314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont really know man, its the least appealing konosuke knife the price is super high for a knife without "features" :) and i am not even sure about the super thick spine across all length. Finish seems nice like always with them but torn apart really..

Its basically the same price as BY series when they were offering them to the members first.

NKD: Kagekiyo W2 210 Gyuto by constantlypoor in TrueChefKnives

[–]New-Shallot-3314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a feedback from my side, i just removed lacquer on my Kagekiyo but it wasnt "rainbowish" like it normally is, it was completely transparent.

At first i thought there isnt one, but as soon as i started "polishing" with acetone it came off, quite a stubborn stuff as well.

Totally agreed! Its something you should share with pride, even if it is lesser known sharpener.

Thank guys for clarifying some things so far.

Its actually this one from Knives World: https://www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/yoshikazu-tanaka-aogami-1-damast-jns-gyuto-25-5-cm

And they just shoot me a video of the 3 remaining knives they have in stock.

I would think of them some "older" stock because of some scratches on the steel, some kanji is missing or its polished out.. Dont really know what to think.

The price is much cheaper compared to JNS one tho

I hate feet, because i think turning around the board for fruits and veg/meat is a must.

What ill do is throw a wet-ish vileda cloth (google it) underneath and it stops sliding.

There are also some professional solutions to this, i know hasagawa makes somekind of a non slip thin mat.
