Aritsugu A-type WA-Gyutoand AoKo Fugubiki arrived today. Gyuto is single beveled, my first one of that type, pretty thin at that. And that fugubiki is just 270mm long hell razor :) Light, thin. Can't wait to sharpen it.

Weird looking, but very nice blade. Definitely one of the sharpest blades I've ever seen. Now, if I find a chicken somewhere to cut it with my brand, spanking new honesuki it'll be drool.

Wow! For a custom knife this one was real quick. It's nicely polished, thinner than standard Watanaben nakiris. Sharpened it already and now it's sharp as hell. Didn't need much sharpening though.

Well, after using Takeda Deba to cut the chicken, decided that Honesuki was a must, even if I eat chicken once a year or less...

So far only a few basic terms, but I'll expand it. Really difficult to get used to all those Japanese words w/o help.

Watanabe Kuro-Uhci nakiri review is up. After 2 months of use and rehandling it's back to me and kicking. Nice little knife for veggies and a beautiful new handle too ;)

After using Nakiris for few months, I've decided that small one is a welcomed addition to my kitchen knives collection. Mincing garlic and shallots definitely calls for thin, smaller blade.

Well, after almost 3 months of daily use I've finished up first revision of the review. As usual it's a work in progress, since I'm using this Gyuto regularly.

Kumagoro Gyuto and Watanabe nakiri arrived with custom handles by Stefan Keller. Simply beautiful.
