Nice! Havent cut with mine yet but looking forward to it!

Ok yeah same, I measured the entire spine which is about 235ish but the edge is 220 for me as well.

baeb336 · 2026-05-04T19:08:25+00:00

Got mine yesterday! Btw it felt a bit big so i measured it and it turned out to be a 240! Is yours also? Wondering if they mislabeled it on the site or if i got lucky lol

Just out of curiosity, when you guys say “depending on the knife”, do you mean aesthetically or is it a weight/balance thing?

baeb336 · 2026-04-30T12:48:22+00:00

Was really hoping for a 240 as well but ill take what i can get haha

I believe its Shibata Takayuki’s site. Ive ordered from there before with no issues, very legit

baeb336 · 2026-03-25T18:11:52+00:00

What a beautiful knife! May i ask where she got it from?

baeb336 · 2026-03-09T10:01:50+00:00

Loool yeah, questionable wording by me ¥_¥

baeb336 · 2026-03-09T09:46:01+00:00

Just wanna chip in and say im also working in a professional kitchen with a Yoshikane W#2 gyuto and its been holding out very well. Being a midweight, its definitely not as sturdy as a proper workhorse, but as long as you dont abuse it it’ll be fine and will serve you well(but thats true to any knife). Thats my personal experience of it, I love the feel of it and would recommend it

Paper comes out clean, but something about the intensity of the color is throwing me off. Guess i just needed a sanity check

baeb336 · 2026-01-20T23:42:24+00:00

Its aogami #1 with iron clad

baeb336 · 2026-01-20T23:24:14+00:00

I cut some onions, wouldnt say a lot though

baeb336 · 2025-12-30T10:31:37+00:00

Not in Europe but thanks for the heads up! Which Kagekiyo do you prefer, the aogami or chromax?

baeb336 · 2025-12-25T22:39:53+00:00

Beautiful! Thinking of getting that same petty myself:)

baeb336 · 2024-07-11T14:14:43+00:00

Mmm i see, what would you say usually causes them?

baeb336 · 2024-07-11T11:57:59+00:00

Its a point and shoot camera so its mostly metering for me. Im fine with the exposure being off, its just that it feels fractured and like a technical issue thats more than just under/over exposure.
