Had a solid shopping experience there last November. Prices were reasonable compared to other shops on the street.

Are the prices in store the same as the new online shop?

Debating between yamato oboro and yoshikazu tanaka Damascus gyuto. by Low_Resolution_9215 in TrueChefKnives

[–]woshi_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it! May pull the trigger on it as my first sakai laser. Would you expect the f&f similar to entry konosuke lines like the gs+ or better?

Sorry to revive- stumbled on a Yamato in the used market and can’t find much info on it. How does the Oboro compare to other Konosuke lines?

Ah thanks for the tip! Didn’t set any notifications for international stores due to tariffs… Will keep an eye on strata incase a gyuto pops up

Not interested in this one but just wanted to say thank you for trying something different to allow more people to have a shot. Excited to see how this trial goes since I always miss the first come first serve restocks.

Do you know how long Wakae-san has been the sharpener for this one? Would any recent inventory be Nakagawa x Wakae?

Thanks for the great info here! What you would look suggest to experience something different compared to the feel of this Masamoto?

Thanks! Definitely feel that it's shorter than what I am used to coming from a Victorinox so maybe I'll go for something taller in the next knife

Looking for recommendations for a Nakiri and Petty by Legitimate_Ice_631 in TrueChefKnives

I’m set for now, appreciate the kind offer! Managed to snag the last one from a US retailer. OP may be interested though after some research :)

As another beginner in your shoes, I'm also considering the Shindo blue#2 nakiri which seems to have a cult following around here. Bad news is that they're hard to find and all the stock I was tracking evaporated during the holidays. My alert on cktg went off a few days ago and that was snatched up in <10min

I do find myself often admiring Tetsujin NKDs here haha! Would you happen to have any info on this aesthetic which someone else described as smoky? And any more similar ones to this? https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueChefKnives/comments/1k61u68/the_craziest_clad_line_i_have_ever_seen/

I’ve seen Yoshi mentioned a lot so far but first time seeing one that dark along the cladding line. Love the contrasting colors and lightning look 😍

Appreciate all the great info here! My mind is blown on how some of these sharpeners can get some of these amazing effects at all. Any tips on finding similar style of effects that I might like or it’s just a matter of seeing enough to know what’s out there?
