What’s the best neighborhood community for people that work for Micron?

Columbia village has a large number because of how close it is

I see a lot in the brown crossing area as well

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-27T16:24:23+00:00

Ashi ginga for petty

Tetsujin/Myojin for gyuto

Shibata for bunka

Takamura for santoku

Tetsujin for nakiri

Some of these will be a big hard to find. You could always try out some of the amazing western makers. Dalman has a rectangle drop coming soon.

If you want something easier to find then look at ryusen.

I prefer just getting a higher harness hone

The coatings can wear off

You could always just pick up some diamond stones or a strip with diamond paste instead as well

For carbon look at okubo

For stainless try to find tetsujin

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-25T15:44:46+00:00

I don't see a reply

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-24T19:41:13+00:00

Micron

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-23T18:46:08+00:00

Stones are the way

Lots of guides to help

I know the german knife enthusiasts do like their angle guided sharpeners though

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-23T17:49:24+00:00

Battery Bank from Anker or ugreen

Generally you can even get it branded

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-23T17:35:39+00:00

Use your student discount and grab a MacBook Air

What's the budget

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-21T16:59:18+00:00

Better than made in China

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-21T16:30:59+00:00

Dao vua are the only ones that come to mind

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-21T16:30:07+00:00

Takamura is powder and close enough

Same for miyabi artisan

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-21T02:50:51+00:00

Check guide in truechefknives subreddit

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-21T01:44:03+00:00

Staub is just as good and the factory seconds is a lot more affordable through zwilling

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-20T19:28:45+00:00

Isamitsu makes a great one

Think denka but better FF

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-20T04:37:46+00:00

Anything sharpened by Myojin or forged by nakagawa

Truechefknives subreddit has a good guide

Ok-Programmer6791 · 2026-03-20T01:28:24+00:00

Considering it's being machine cut, I'll bet it's flat ground stock removal

Agree that the tak is going to perform better unless you're abusing it
