I've been sharpening pretty much all day. THat Sekizo Sashimi knife was a real pain. Sharpened it yesterday for hour and a half, and ended up with rather dull edge. Went at it again today morning. Started with 1200 grit King waterstone, eventually I got it sharp. Still, it's not as sharp as any of the high end Japanese kitchen knives.

After a while I found time to review this fat, little knife. Well made piece, nothing to say, Busse nuclear tough, very good build quality and feels real comfy in had. Except it is fat :) Which might be what you are looking for, since a lot of Busse fans love fat versions of all sorts of Busse knives. Details in the review.

Nenox group buy moving forward
I'm glad to report it is going ahead as planned, so far. If all goes well, in 2-3 weeks or so I should have one in my possession, and then I can see and feel for myself, what is all the fuss about.

Well, there is a group by on KF. I will most likely get one 270mm honyaki gyuto. TO be honest, I never really liked them that much, over-hyped stuff, IMHO not worth the price, but group buy gives 20% discount, that makes it more realistic. I'll see how it works. After all Morimoto's knives of choice for Iron Chef battles. Interesting to evaluate.
