  • @jeffhicks8428
    @jeffhicks8428 Год назад +8

    The Yoshi is for sure one the best of it's type of knives for the money. Great knife for a fair price. Most Japanese knives are massively over priced especially since the only way to buy them in the West is through third party resellers like OP who charge steep markups. That Yoshi has excellent grinds on it and the super blue is well treated. Compared to most over priced and under performing Japanese knives it's a good buy.
    But honestly you're better off getting something like a SG2 Takeda.. or even Nigara, or even just a yaxell or whatever like that. SG2 makes these steels obsolete. It's just as hard as all but the very best carbon steels and it has vastly better performance in every other way. Takes just as a fine of an edge but it holds it probably 2x as long as super blue. It's not hard to sharpen at all. Doesn't rust. Is vastly less likely to chip than super blue. Just logically speaking you want an objectively better knife for less money, get that. You can get an SG2 yaxell gyoto for as little as $120 that will run circles around most knives in real use. Wait for a sale and pick up a laser ground takeda gyoto in R2 for like $160.

    Best knife channel 👍👍
    If you get a chance try out pure glucosomine (idk spelling) for joints. And the best ginger tea you can find.
    Also if you would like to you can get a lot of rice and place in a bucket and do some work with your hand you can re-strengthen your hands and balance the muscles. Try opening hand-finger motions. Take it slow, and build up reps and sets over time 3 times a week. A few minutes is enough for a burn. Stretch too.

    Glad to see you're back! (BTW, could not find your other RUclips channel: name exactly?) Yes, love the in-depth approach, that is, discussing some aspect -- hardness, profile, handles, edge retention, etc. -- in as much detail as you have. And your personal evaluation of these features. -- REQUEST: a few videos on super-sharpening. That is, sharpening beyond practical, beyond any compelling reason to make a knife soooo sharp. Yeah, these videos would be for the artist, the super-craftmen, guys who, in other lifetimes, would have been apprentices kneeling on the floor for years learning their craft, perhaps for royalty who could afford the inordinate time it takes. For some now, a modern relaxing hobby! Good work! Mike

    The heat treat is good, it sharpens well and the finish of the handle is perfect…

It is definitely cheap steel and is more flexible than one would expect for a nakiri. So I’d say yes, you can practice on inexpensive knives, but avoid truly inferior ones.

    So i just got the Yoshihiro. It’s my first Japanese knife. I’m surprised how unbalanced it is. There is no weight in the handle and compare to my wusthof it feels strange. Is that normal in a Japanese knife?

    I wonder, how are the heat treat of these knives compared to teruyasu fujiwara denka? And would you happen to know who forged these knives?

    The length of the knives featured all looked to be 210mm, correct?

    Hi Ryky, why you have the Angry in 210mm and the other? when you like more 240? Is it because it looks nicer than 240mm?

    Are the knives featured in the video 210 or 240mm? Thanks

    Thank you so much, Riyky. Do they still make the Akazawa? I can't seem to find it anywhere

    I’ve been a long time Wusthof chef knife user and I’m looking into a first Japanese knife purchase. Would like a vg-10 lefty friendly knife if possible with v grind. Can you recommend one for me?
    Thanks

      have a look around burrfectionstore.com/collections/vg10
      most double-bevel knives with octagonal, or western handles will be OK for you. steer away from single-beveled knives unless it says "lefty"

    I have a question when sharpening a recurve knife. I have a matching set of hunting and fishing knifes my Grandfather gave me before he passed from brain cancer. I want to preserve them. I have a 400 grit $20 budget stone, and my friend is bringing his 1500 grit and 6k grit polishing stone. How am I supposed to sharpen such an odd shaped knife on smaller stones?

    Great to se you are back. The Yoshihiro would be my choice here, but i have a question. Have you ever tested a knive from Kanetsune, and how good is the AUS10 steel?
