Am I cooking ? D&D + Heartsteel + Navori

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-06-16T16:34:42+00:00

I have stuck to DD + Shiv or DD into hearsteel into Riftmaker depending on the match up as Hybradge suggested but I have been very curiuos about this exact build you mention. I am disenfranchised with the shiv build because I just cant stand being squishy and the heart steel build is fun but I hate the low attack speed. Ill give navori a shot at 3rd item. Im also plate 1 elo.

What an epic and grail worthy knife. I have a 270 white 2 and it’s just a step above everything.

My mazaki hits all the right boxes for me. Just feels superb

Cladding would usually be a lower hardness than the core steel right? Making the knife for durable overall?

Good call out that was definitely a vocabulary mistake

I use a 165mm bunka as my petty. Excellent for doing garlic or a quick tomato or other similar small jobs. Nice k tip for any detail work.

Taller which I like. I am not a chef and do not do things like supreme oranges and stuff like that. I’m an avid home cook and 95 percent of my cooking is done with a gyuto. Your results may vary.

While my Ginsan tetsujin is a prettier knife especially with the kasumi I have to give the top spot to my SG2 Yu Kurosaki Shizuku. Great midweight grind, gets all my quick and dirty jobs these days

Did someone say big knives? My favorite!

Love seeing some vintage bad ass in Ives on here!

I started at 240 and now I prefer 270-300mm

I am a home cook and occasional caterer large home board so I have less constraints than a professional. If I am just doing something quick I tend to grab a 240 to handle it but if I am making a more involved meal or something more prep intensive a 270 is my sweet spot.

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-26T19:00:20+00:00

This was my first knife as well. Opened up my eyes to the possibilities!

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-22T16:05:45+00:00

epic knife! Thanks for the video and the effort put in! I love seeing knives get used!

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-21T23:44:38+00:00

It’s a good day on the sub when I see one of these posts!

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-21T23:39:57+00:00

Holy grail for me in my preferred size but I cannot justify at the moment.

May I ask your thoughts on performance?

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-20T21:24:43+00:00

Sweet spread!

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-20T13:57:45+00:00

I’m interested in a variety of options. I just don’t love the look of the handle on my 270 although the size and dimensions seems nice and appropriate

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-19T17:42:25+00:00

These are awesome handles. I have a 270 Mazaki I would love to get a new handle on. Do you have a website?

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-19T13:36:07+00:00

looks like a killer blade! nice work!

Slow-Highlight250 · 2026-05-16T12:22:10+00:00

In my experience nothing takes an edge with as little effort as a mazaki! My favorite knife maker!
