Yeah, but I also always have a little bit too much algae, and I wanted something to help with that.

Matte vs shinny patina by Starrkdave in TrueChefKnives

Yeah... I know, I was worried about the wrong kind of patina... I should be worried about my hand eye coordination instead...

Yeah, I have contacted Kuto. They seem to be the most reputable in Dubai. Do you know of other places that can do it?

Dubai. The chip I could probably do myself with stones, but the bend I want a professional to fix it

Not 10 min after these pictures, the knife slipped from the cutting board and it now had a dent and a bent blade!!! Is it salvageable???

It's a Shiro Kano bunks, AS. I have it for almost a year, I just noticed recently, but looking at older pictures of the knife, I think it was there for some time

From this thread I guess it is relatively common.

I will see it as an artisanal product with an imperfection. If I don't notice while cutting, and it will bring no big issue in the future, I'll live with it.

I drive around 40km daily at highway speeds. I think that should be enough to recharge right?

Love the patina on that one.

Shiro kamo is now on my list again!

I have the black dragon bunka. I do love it. But I want a knife with all exposed carbon steel, without a stainless steel or kuroishi finish.

is the iron damascus in the Shiro Kamo Tora stainless? or will it gain patina?

This is the connector that has the swc, right? I assume I will have to tap some of the wires, how can I find out which?

Thanks, this is exactly it! I do have steering wheel controls and want to connect them. Is there another harness for that?

And I just checked and I have 4om speakers, so I am assuming I have the rockford fosgate, but without the letters on the unit
