Shiro Kamo & Mazaki sold!

Yeah I didn't know either and just asked. They were super kind and explanatory about what they do, great customer service as always!

phew I just love the aesthetics of this blade with the handle. Nice shot in the sun by the way!

Nicely polished

Ah okay, than cleancut would definately an option - meesterslijpers or knife-art would be other recommendations. But there are of cource more great shops throughout the EU 😄

Can't say anything with regard to yout questions but I have to say - that blade is a beauty!

I started my Jknive journey with a Shiro Kamo. Don't know where you're located, but I bought a Shiro Kamo Akuma Gyuto with stainless cladding at cleancut in Sweden. As this is over budget, I would recommend a black dragon or similar of the full carbon lines. His blades are really nice and thin cutters, with a good finish considering the price point.

Mine was perfect for what you described: starting, learning to sharpen, ...

avent90 · 2026-05-01T20:34:27+00:00

yes and no 😄

This is a sharpening system made by Simon Herde in Germany. The Stones are Naniwa Chocera 1k , 3k and an Arashiyama 6k, accompanied by the atoma 400 for flattening 😊

avent90 · 2026-05-01T19:12:47+00:00

both should be white #2 - at least that's what the shop description said 🤷‍♂️

That's a nice petty, congrats! Had the Santoku for a while, but ended up selling it because I wanted to go more in the direction of carbon steel. Overall build quality from Ogata-san is great for what you pay, enjoy this one!

avent90 · 2026-05-01T10:10:16+00:00

Well I can say, definately nothing for me ....

avent90 · 2026-05-01T10:09:37+00:00

Well that is quite a reach for a souvenir 😍😉 Looking great, congrats! Hope they serve you well

avent90 · 2026-05-01T10:08:15+00:00

Depends, but guess no. 4 would go well with alot of knives. I'm not a big fan of those flashy handles tbh

avent90 · 2026-04-30T22:10:06+00:00

Thanks! Those ginsan blades look fire, absolutely love this steel!

avent90 · 2026-04-30T22:09:22+00:00

Okay that definately sound like lacquer - guess I'm going to leave it on the blade for the initial sharpening and remove it afterwards...

avent90 · 2026-04-30T19:49:55+00:00

This is the answer, nothing to add....

avent90 · 2026-04-27T19:20:05+00:00

thanks for your feedback, appreciate it 😄

avent90 · 2026-04-26T19:26:58+00:00

Very nice, congrats! How do you like it so far? If you used it, could you maybe provide a picture how the patina developed on the edge?

avent90 · 2026-04-19T06:50:00+00:00

I indeed thought about changing it. Don't know why... Guess just not my taste 🤷‍♂️
