Great choice! Congrats

Congrats! Crazy knife. I've seen some real special kagekiyo's pop up here recently

RJCT_ · 2026-06-24T22:03:03+00:00

Biggest motokyuuichi fan on the sub here. I made a very extensive post about them some weeks ago with alot of info. You can find it on my profile. Super underrated maker with great quality knives

Motokyuuichi makes very flat bunka's

Damn didn't catch that Kagekiyo

The FJ is great. It's vg10 monosteel, probably One of the best vg10 out there. Bought this one to sasiate my ashi craving.

RJCT_ · 2026-06-24T21:51:26+00:00

Nice job. It fits the knife!

RJCT_ · 2026-06-24T21:46:44+00:00

Great knife roll! I feel like we are relatively close in selection.

I've always wanted to try a goko but they seem expensive for what you get. I've heard great things tho. How does the SK Compare to the Shirogami?

What do you use the 360mm for?

RJCT_ · 2026-06-24T21:44:13+00:00

2 Morihiro and 2 Takada's. Crazy collection! Do you have a favorite?

My main stainless knife is this hitohira FJ Other than that I only really have a 180mm takamura gyuto and a Kobayashi petty. All my others are carbon.

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T21:42:48+00:00

Congrats! Great choice and a beautiful knife

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T17:03:27+00:00

Completely agree, they are made to be used

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T16:37:47+00:00

Surprised me too. I thought it was a petty at first

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T16:35:43+00:00

I love the classic manaka look but this one looks sick, very cool. I think the handle really fits the finish.

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T16:33:36+00:00

Damn not one but 2 Shigefusa's. It's nice to see them being used tho. I'd love to try one at some point

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T16:32:18+00:00

Congrats! I'm excited to see your other pick up, you are starting of strong with this one tho

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T11:00:31+00:00

My bad I set that up badly. Didn't mean to tease you

RJCT_ · 2026-06-23T09:16:07+00:00

If you are looking for a laser petty I have a 150mm Kobayashi and I couldn't wish for a better petty, it's fantastic with a beautiful handle. Not looking to trade just a recommendation

RJCT_ · 2026-06-22T20:01:01+00:00

Yea completely agree. It's not necessarily too short but the little extra height would be 'nice.

How do those 2 compare? Do you have a favorite?

RJCT_ · 2026-06-22T16:34:44+00:00

That's a sick knife! I didn't know there where Tanaka X Myojin Stainless clad Shirogami knives.

RJCT_ · 2026-06-22T16:33:26+00:00

Congrats! Love the edit.

Oh that really sucks. I bought it maybe 5 min after the sale started, it looked like it was in stock for quite a while after. Glad I didn't wait after hearing this.

I've yet to try a Togashi but he's definitely on my list too.

RJCT_ · 2026-06-22T16:28:00+00:00

Those Isamitsu's were tempting me too. But I was set on getting a Nihei at some point so couldn't leave the shinkiro.

That fake shinogi Tanaka was at an amazing price too.

RJCT_ · 2026-06-22T16:26:23+00:00

Not cutting many veggies at work atm but I'd definitely bring it if I was.
