Hands down, best knife channel on RUclips. And best store for chefs . I've bought all my knives from the Edmonton location. Best service possible. Cheers !
I own a set of koishi. 3 of em use em every day over 10 years strong. Masakage "pebble" koishi. ... also can say after a decade of use they look mean as hell and have aged very nicely. For the record if they have made meals for Japanese ambassadors in Ottawa, amongst many others.
I have a Masakage Koichi knife 😎 I have the nakiri and I can say it's a very very good knife, it's so thin, so light, and it cuts so well you don't feel like you're cutting through food ! On top on that, that knife is really beautiful, and I definitely recommend it !
Add the Kurosaki Fujin AS 240mm gyuto to your list. I bought one in 2018, and I haven't seen any since. I saw some other shapes from that line pop up a few weeks ago, but they went pretty quickly.
Hard to hear the name of knifemaker at 6:47. In fact many of the japanese names are hard to take it just by listening, esp if you are not familiar with them all. Perhaps you could insert a little graphic with names etc for us not in the know. Thx
You've certainly got some of the heavyweights of the collecting scene here, but even so there are a few I wasn't as familiar with, so that was cool. There are great knives out there that deserve a longer look, but there are a lot of knives generally, so it's a good service to highlight some of the more deserving. I've got a few of the big names, and some are drawer queens and will be for some time because they overawe me and make me feel unworthy as a journeyman sharpener. I can get 'em sharp enough, but the consistency isn't perfect. Oh, look, right on this page is Naoto showing us how not to ruin our knives. Just the ticket! Later!
Great video as always guys. I’m still devastated I missed the 240 river jump during the last garage sale so I’m counting on you guys to get another one for the November sale! Looking at you Naoto!

Rhaaa the taxes are so high to send them to France. 75€ of taxes on a magnificent knife at 210€ at the base, that I have been looking for for months and that I finally found on your website. Unfortunately I cannot afford it. We have too little purchasing power in France, it is really too depressing.
Luckily, we have enough blacksmiths here in Germany who produce knives by hand and often even deliver better knives, whether it's handle processing or understanding how proper heat treatment works. I can even have my knife made exactly to my requirements. But they now have longer and longer waiting times :/
What's the knife being referred to at 7:13 ? I'm curious to know which knife is so mythical that a Nigara Troll killer (which is a grail knife for me) was suggested as an alternative.
I'd appreciate if you write the name of the blacksmith on the screen when mentioning their name because they're Japanese and hard to understand exactly how to spell their name
Leaves more for me! They're not as delicately pretty as some, I agree, but they have a charm all their own, at least to me, and evidently a bunch of others as well. I have a Takamura Chromax gyuto I used to illustrate a magazine piece on giving knives as gifts last year. Just a gorgeous knife.

That's a great point, thank you!

I have a 210 Takeda Gyuto that is over 20 years old now. It is so different and rough compared to his new AS line. Love that knife.
You mean they got worse?
@@jackbolder5734 I would say much more refined and smooth in finish, which is good but not my thing in a Takeda.
@@KA-zq3yp thanks
Super dope that you showed your favorite alternatives for the hard to get knives.
Thanks, I hoped it would help!
I have a Masakage Koichi knife 😎

I love that one too!
I can vouch for the Masakage Kioshi bunka. Beautiful knife, and I have a Takeda (hopefully) on the way!

Oh wow 🤯
I have the bunka from the AS fujin line last year, it’s pure joy to use.
Nigara is my current favorite! They are so beautiful and made so well. My favorite also to use!
Yes they are!

Absolutely, that's a great suggestion!
Awesome video! Really enjoying the medium format packed with information!
Thank you!

Glad we could introduce you to a few new legendary blades!

Thank you! Here's hoping!
Nathan, when are we getting to see your personal collection?
It's coming! Hopefully the video will be out later this year!
I got a 240 takeda gyuto a few months back my favorite knife looking for a takeda or possibly a yu kurosaki chinese cleaver
Right on! We should have more Takeda Cleavers in a few months!
@@KnifewearKnives cool im on list u guys had them few months back i think and i didnt pull trigger 650 got me thinking went back next day and it was gone i learned always buy knife u want when possible
Almost got one of those Sakai tall bunka’s, but lucked out and got a Tinker Tank to call my own 😊
NICE!!

That's the Hinoura River Jump!

Will do!
agreed this is a nightmare trying to figure out how to look these guys up
that 310mm Takeda stainless clad Gyuto.... wow. I'd consider selling a kidney for it lol
😂
wonder, what is the knife's lifetime. Can you use it forever? if you maintain it correctly.
It's an heirloom piece for sure, treat it kindly and it will last and last
@@KnifewearKnives Ty for info!
I own all of those knifes.
you don't ship to new zealand so doesn't help me sadly :(
We sure do! It might be expensive but we ship to NZ semi regularly.
too many wealthy hone cooks and wealthy chefs buy these up as well as scalpers.
I never liked the aesthetics of Takeda
Leaves more for me! They're not as delicately pretty as some, I agree, but they have a charm all their own, at least to me, and evidently a bunch of others as well. I have a Takamura Chromax gyuto I used to illustrate a magazine piece on giving knives as gifts last year. Just a gorgeous knife.
I hate the term knife nerd. but...
