@@milangraviercouteliergood content should always be the first priority 😀 people would rather stay for good content then a well lit scene with nothing interesting to hear.
I have a Kato 240. Nice knife but... today I do not rate it above other great knives. It is still great, but so are other knives. At the time I got it though it was so different from other Japanese makers that were popular in the US that it was hard not to be blown away by it.
My look on kato knives is quite separated from his fame, market price etc.. And the people who get them, paying the big tag price, pay more about having an object part of Japanese blacksmith history, than a very complex or refine build. The knives are well made, well grind, and made with a purpose. But they are still quite rough, rustic, and finished on machine, things that separate them a bit from their price tag
Thank you for the nice comparision!
thanks and glad you like it !
This is great, man - love the knew format. And thank you for talking about your work in depth.
Thank you and glad it can be any good or interesting! I'll try make more video in the same style
@@milangraviercoutelier Please do! Always watch back the lives but these themed videos are also super exciting!
Are they full tang? If you can’t use it to baton through an oak stump it’s trash. 😎
Excited to watch this later! :)
Thank you! Well it's not as well filmed and lighted than your video as I can see😅 I may work on it next time

Kiyoshi Kato is a Master.
He was making those knives very correctly and with clear view in mind, that really show when holding the knives. Surely a master of the craft.

I want to see what you think after using them, really like how mine performs
This I will not know with those knives, unfortunately owner don't allow me to use them in the kitchen, only to have a look at them
@@milangraviercoutelier That's sad, they are meant to be used, not like they are 1/1 pieces...
Maybe interested in Indonesian natural Whetstone?
