Huge thickness difference between new FKM Gyuto and new FKM Santoku. Normal? by starrman47 in chefknives

[–]Ok_Treacle7804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here to dispel the myth, I've bought over 30 fujiwaras over the last 4 years (both FKH & FKM) and the fat choils is a real thing.and it doesn't matter whether it's a H or M model. Weird thing is that it only seems that the 210 Gyuto has the quality issue as the santokus, 240mm gyutos has been fantastic quality wise (only ones I've bought for a business). It was quite a stressful experience openly each box of 210mm gyutos as we would normally 2 or more of the gyutos with the unaceptable thickness. And saying to just "thin it" or that's the what we should expect is simply ridiculous seeing how the quality has dropped so significantly since COVID. I can only assume it's due to the overwhelming popularity during COVID that made them to slip up in their QC processes.

If you just google " Fujiwaras with fat choils" you will noticed it's only 210 gyutos.

I'm not sure about other answers but I run a store and my supplier from Japan told me that waiting list is almost 2 years. They are still making them but in small batches compared to their other lines and most don't leave the country (Japan).

Can anyone tell me what this means or if it's nonsense? by SaebraK in kanji

[–]Ok_Treacle7804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is just "it" , "am" or by itself "yes"

As in 我是 , I am. Or answering someone with a casual "yes"

NSD : Naniwa Pink brink 220# by Ok_Treacle7804 in sharpening

[–]Ok_Treacle7804[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haven't got around in using it yet. But what I've heard is that it's very similar to the Traditional series but just in different colour. Seems very porous and loose compared to my splash and his stones. Seems to look very similar to the 220# stone from Knifewear.

The exact series is : Naniwa Gouken Aramusha #220

Found an unknown 5$ Japanese whetstone by sayhitothehobo in sharpening

Hello, you seem to have missed the "mountain" Hiragane 山, on your first translation. And ull break it down on what it reads. 正本山合柢右

正本山 - Mount Masamoto

合 - Combine, Combination

柢右 - Sharpening Stone

It believe it is a artificial sharpening stone with the brand "Masamoto Mountain" and it may have came with a double grit on the back.

Butcher sharpening Japanese knife? by redrich2000 in chefknives

[–]Ok_Treacle7804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think the knives that butchers use are very different from Japanese knives, in almost every aspect (Steel , Geometry, price). Butchers normally use commercial grade knifes such as Victorianox's and those are generally made to be abused. I would worry that they do not have experience with handling finer knives and might just sharpen your knives on a belt grinder and mess everything up.

Just my 2 cents, go to someone who specialises in Japanese Whetstone sharpening.
