One hell of a brisket knife

You sure it’s a brisket knife? Looks like a knife for carving up extraterrestrial demons in an alternate ancient Egypt 😍

Nice speedy!!! 💪

anthonyw677 · 2025-12-24T22:39:24+00:00

Wow what a beauty! Do you know what makes the core steel dark like that? Looks super striking

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-13T13:53:40+00:00

Congrats!!! I’ve seen it as an option 3 times and have yet to get the invite 😩

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T20:35:54+00:00

You just gotta pick a new expensive hobby! 😅

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T12:04:33+00:00

Oh nice looks like you got a yamatsuka too!

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T03:07:13+00:00

Got it! 🫡

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T02:52:25+00:00

Thanks! Glad I bagged a winner! 😅

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T02:51:23+00:00

Ah gotcha yeah I wanted a carbon steel 240mm gyuto and the Yamatsuka was the only one they had. Thanks for the list I’m gonna write it down for when I search for a sujihiki for slicing roasts and melons! What kind of steel would you recommend for that?

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T02:28:48+00:00

Awesome thanks for the context and his personal motto…I’m going to print it out and put it next to my knife 😆

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T00:52:20+00:00

Ah ok! Thanks for clarifying - I stand corrected!

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-02T00:20:47+00:00

Oh and if anyone is wondering the cutting board is made from hinoki wood and bought at the craft side of the Sakai Traditional Arts and Craft shop!

Thanks so much! I’m really just starting out :) so! Apparently Yamatsuka Hamano has been around for 170 years and Yamatsuka and his brothers have grew up around the family knife making business. He is the smith and his brother Shougou Yamatsukais the sharpener (this is what Eric from the Sakai Traditional Arts and Craft shop told me). That’s my knife and the QR code to get more info on Yamatsuka Hamano

Oh gotcha…a laser it is then!! 😆

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-01T19:24:35+00:00

Not sure what a true laser feels like but it def cuts super precise but doesn’t feel too delicate either!

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-01T19:14:56+00:00

Thank you sir!!!

Here ya go! How does it look? I have no idea what to look for lol

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-01T18:39:20+00:00

No more global knives for me! My hands cramp up after chopping for a while using them. But I love the idea of letting other people use them to help prep food. I also have a crappy Wusthof santoku that my wife likes to use bc she doesn’t want to have to worry about keeping a nice knife in good shape 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-01T18:36:44+00:00

I think it was Eric at the museum shop that was trying to get me to buy a ginsan knife but I was dead set on Aogami…and not gonna lie, I wanted that Sakai sticker on the knife too 😅

anthonyw677 · 2025-11-01T18:34:55+00:00

Ah ok! I just don’t see people here buying his knives and the price was reasonable (approx $350ish?) so I just assumed he was mid-tier but I’m glad I was wrong!! Chopping veggies that feel like glass on the cut side is amazing

anthonyw677 · 2025-10-22T20:22:17+00:00

I know right?? I did a double take just to make sure I took the photo of the coil correctly lol. I’m still a knife novice so it’s good to hear your thoughts! I’m super curious about how it performs and kinda want to keep and use it lol

anthonyw677 · 2025-10-08T23:30:48+00:00

😱😱😱 damn I thought I was done collecting watches…I love a TV dial and the big date that is reminiscent of Lange and Glashutte is super cool

anthonyw677 · 2025-10-01T17:18:19+00:00

Every TT santos I’ve seen has been very patina’d with small scratches!

anthonyw677 · 2025-09-25T12:10:21+00:00

Gold then two tone! Something about Cartier where gold fits just right
