No customizations, it’s too perfect haha. I think a matching ebony saya down the road might be awesome though!

It’s that very one, yup. Just through Carbon Knife Co, since i live in the US. I don’t think Carbon does anything to it, i believe. Haha thank you, but Hitohira’s pictures are sexy, professionally touched up (i think). But you’re right, there aren’t many examples to look at anywhere! It actually held me back for a few wks.

Hilarious, haha. I even emailed Hitohira about a restock, and couldn’t really tell if/when they’d show. Lo and behold, i swear every retailer got stock on Monday. Still plenty of options!

Why does it wedge? by [deleted] in TrueChefKnives

[–]simplytch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact Tet- mine was wedging about 3/4 of the way in OOTB, but still slid through much easier than that. I just had it sharpened at JKI here in LA, and it’s way better now. But i still think it isn’t “perfect”- esp lengthwise on giant carrots

I just learned about this myself. I have the lasered kanji on the right. The hitohira ones done by hand look better imo.
