I bought this knife for 20$ at a local hippie food shop 4 years ago. It has it's knicks and has taken some awful abuse in that time. I treated it as a temporary 20$ knife, but shes still going strong. Anyone read japanese? No idea who makes it.
I took some photos of the edge of my blade as I was sharpening it using increasingly higher grit abrasives.
kristoffer what system is that?
Hey, Benjamin. The maker is named 'Seki Tsubazō'. A place called 'Seki' used to be one of the most famous village in Japan, as the town where the best swordsmiths live. Now the town has been known as a town for best knives made by swordsmiths. You may see some of real Katana currently made there.
This are my 2 Hattori. It took some time for them to arrive but I'm more than happy with them.
This were the first Japanese knives that I bought and man what a difference with Western style. They are lighter but sharper very nice to work with.
My wife keeps the kids away from these babies all the time. :-)
Hehehe... global knives. A pain in the ass to hold, if you ask me . The steel is wayyy to soft for me to work with. However, nice set of knives tho
Working knives... all polished to 10k with a naniwa stone
440c stainless steel, paper micarta/amboyna burl scales.
Takes off too much steel and costs too much for my liking
my collection
Made in Japan 99%
My wife left one of my knives in the sink not realizing how quickly a high carbon blade can rust. It was in pretty bad shape but came back pretty well. Still a nick or two but worlds better.
