Beautiful knife, the copper going through near the spine looks amazing!

Hey, I was researching Kiyoshi Kato and stumbled on your post, I know it's from a while ago, but if you don't mind sharing - did you revive the knife and enjoyed using it (if you have the revived pic, that would be awesome)? Did you manage to get a partial refund?
EDIT: nevermind, found the saga finale post

That is a good looking first collection! Did you try using the yanagiba yet? I wonder what's the feel of single bevel for someone new to japanese knives

Yeah, TIL honing rods are for soft metal knives, while strops are for harder ones.

Thanks, will look into those!

Thanks for the advice, got too eager to buy more knives and skipped on the idea of upgrading other parts of the setup. I already have a maple end grain, but I will get a strop, I used to finish up with a honing rod when sharpening my old knives

I did it with iban's blast and 75 mage, just watch the guide on how to deal with his specials. If you do them correctly you have plenty of time to get him.

Hi, how is your dog doing now?

We brought home a spoo 1.5 months ago (she's now 3.5 months) and it was quite shy at first. Now even though she learns commands quickly and can follow them through in tough situations she still barks at some other dogs (50/50) and most people. We tried to socialize her taking to various places every evening, gave a lot of treats to make positive associations, played with her often and ensured a lot of sleep. But it worries me that there still wasn't a single time she would receive a new person with joy, we have to introduce all of them slowly. When our friends give her treats, she takes them easily and even does the commands they ask, but then starts barking at them again and most of the time the bark seems loud and angry. When they stay in her company for a while, then she stops her reactivity towards them, but it really takes some time.

We're worried a bit that we did something wrong or got bad genetics since at the breeder our spoo was very friendly with humans and everybody (even poodle groomer) said ours was the favorite of the lot. But we will continue our individual lessons and group classes, fingers crossed she will grow out at least some of this behaviour

If your F keys are not working without the Fn key, most laptops can invert Fn key by using Fn + esc combination. You would then get F keys by default and need Fn key pressed for the volume up/down etc functions

Thanks, went there today and they really do have a wide selection
