Beautiful knife as you will see on the photos. It was suposed ot be 190mm, but there was a conversion error in Japan, came out 240mm instead ;) I like it better that way.

Update in Tadatsuna 270mm Shirogami(White Steel) gyuto knife review. Inox steel details added. Some updates on comps pages. Rig component details corrected. Preparing for moderate upgrade - cpu plus memory.

I've had it for a while now, and used it a lot. Even though it gave me some troubles in the beginning, now it's set on 15 degree angle and cutting like crazy. Well, takes patina like crazy too. Still, very efficient and precise knife. Pleasure to use in short. Read the full review for more details.

After waiting for this knife few months it is finally here. CPM S110V is a steel that is hard to come by, but Phil made it. Medium, upswept blade, very suitable for skinners. Blade is 5" long and around 3mm thick. Another superb cuter in my collection with very high edge holding. Initial review and pix coming up this weekend I hope.

Well, long story short. I just picked up 13 new kitchen knives to sharpen and review. New as in new to me and not reviewed on this site. Quite a catch, except they all are pretty messed up in terms of their edge sharpness and I have to sharpen them all. On the positive side I have few months to play with them. I won't really enjoy using those knives, and it is unlikely that I will use them heavily, but for testing purposes it will do. Overall, I got 1 Furi cleaver, yes that Furi knife, which I dont' even consider a knife, plus 1 Shun classic santoku, 4 Henckels, 2 Wusthofs and 5 Porsche design knives ;) Porsches are a kick. Weirdo looking blades with crappy 301 stainless steel, and priced like Porsche. I guess only Porsche would have the guts to price cheapo stainless steel knives that high. Cutco still beats them with their prices, but even Cutco junk 440A steel is better than Porsche knives 301 stainless.

Fixed knife edge grind type page image styles. Now it will not jump below the other divs. Updated Tadatsuna 270mm Shirogami Gyuto Review.

Interesting knife from very famous and respected maker. The thinnest gyuto in my collection. Just 2mm thick blade. For 270mm long blade that is really thin. Compared to western kitchen knives this one is a razor. Cuts exceptionally good too. One more interesting aspect, Shirogami or white steel. Very pure alloy, gets extremely sharp.

One more procrastinated review. Had knife and the notes for around 3 years now. Actually I got two more of those, competition grade. Anyway, one of the sexiest knives on the planet.

Since I was in the mood of going through the old records, notes and reviews, I have figured this one was rather incomplete as well. So, I have arranged old records and compiled into the updated review. Sadly Carbon V is no longer an option with Cold Steel, if you can find one you got lucky ;)

One of the oldest knives in my collection. Still sitting in the trunk of my car, in the emergency package along with the other useful items like flashlight, first aid kit, jump start cables and whatever small stuff one might need.
