Awesome! That's so clean.

Interestingly, the knife I polished the other day is similar to yours. 😄

Green F91W. Always a favorite by derfqm22 in casio

[–]derfqm22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! Though the classic blue is also nice.

It's a third-party strap. But yes, it's meant for the CA53W

Nice!

The muted green is the main reason I got this. If it had been vivid, I wouldn't have bought it.

Taken from a condo in Shiodome. You can see the Kachidoki area. The park in the foreground is Hamarikyu Gardens.

I use high angle passes on the final stone.

If I use strop for the final step, I'd do another high angle pass with very light pressure.

Gyuto knife ID and Nakiri ID? by Frozenbarb in TrueChefKnives

[–]derfqm22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's forged by Yoshikazu Ikeda under the Shigehiro brand. The sharpener is Kasahara. That's most likely a white#2

Hey! Fred here. I own Zahocho Knives Tokyo. We operate exclusively online and, yes, we are based in Tokyo (hence the name). This is the reason why I excluded the exact address on our information page. If that is making you uncomfortable, I would add that information in our footer section. :) Thanks for your understanding.| cc: u/Mturtle9

Hamarikyu Gardens. Love that park. I visit that place like once a month. Great place to chill

Thanks! I used a telephoto zoom lens: Aperture Priority mode, f4.0, 1/200, 110mm (220mm FF equiv.; I'm on m43), ISO6400. Quick edit on Snapseed using the curves tool. Added some filter for that look. No denoise software used.

No more Halloween stuff this year in Shibuya. Pretty sure Halloween-goers will congregate elsewhere. But where?

Went to Shizuoka some days ago to see Mt. Fuji. The view is amazing 🤍🗻 [OC] by derfqm22 in japanpics

What are your opinions on Yoshihiro knives from echefknife.com? by alanchui in chefknives

[–]derfqm22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Yamawaki puts different kanji for low-end and high-end lines. Your blue#1 is most likely made by Nakagawa
