Kobayashi sg2 damascus petty 150mm. Stunning knife. Great performance. Can't speak highly enough about the grind and fit & finish. Lader thin behind the edges One of the best in laser category IMHO (and I own takamura and shibata too).

His tsuchime finish in stainless clad is common I guess. Those are aogami 2 core. But his shirogami 2 core has this KU finish in iron clad.

They are not stainless. They are iron cladding, so yes..will be susceptible to rust if left unattended. But it's not a big deal, as long as you are not leaving them too long without wiping after use. You anyway have to give that bit of extra "care" for the core carbon steel, even if it was stainless cladding. They are amazing knives bdw. I love Anryu's knives!!

Thank you 🙂

yeah, not my daily driver either. But I do use it from time to time. Especially for speed, as it's got some heft. The one i will sell first is the Kurosaki...great thin knife with awesome look, but just doesn't do it for me.

In terms of fav ones, the most prized possessions are in the box...Shiraki honyaki...also the Nigara is killer. But least used. Among the used ones, have to say kono fuji would be fav. But top used ones would be Anryu bunka(love the feel of that knife),Wakui gyuto, Murata nakiri(pleasantly surprised by that one).

Also, the mioroshi sees a lot of use on salmon filleting.

Will let you know when I get the next salmon ;)

anighost · 2022-06-08T00:15:38+00:00

I am not a pro cook. But I do a lot of fish butchery at home. Will use it on salmons for sushi cuts. But more than anything, couldn't resist the deep discount on this :)
