Thread: Early Christmas present for my brother.

Looks good, didn't understand a word you said about it.

LOL. It's long, tall, kinda thin and hard and it was a pain in the backside to hand sand because, well, it is long, tall, kinda thin and hard. It most definitely do cut, but it could be better if a real honemeister got hold of it for a little while. I have figured out how to grind these durn things, but I need to work on learning how to properly sharpen them.

When I saw the pic I thought the profile looked familiar, then I read the description. The knife looks great. .

thanks. A lot of the western style Japanese knives are kind of a riff on the basic Sabatier shape so I figure that am just bringing some French culture over to the USA via the longer eastern route.

Thanks for the layman's description. Still looks good though.
