Hey welcome back glad you are doing great! Love your videos and actually got into hand sharpening because of you keep doing what you do!

Nice to see you return. I've been using your videos to help me teach some of my friends and family how to sharpen knives well

I bought a Yoshihiro about 2 years ago and I love it so much. I'll be picking up some others soon.

Glad to see you again rickey!! Love the knife vids

Chef knives are the need of every kitchen and I am a professional chef as well as a lover of knives collection. The knife that I recently purchased has become my all-time favorite knife. Great chef knife with high-quality material. Well forged construction and ergonomic grip. Happy with the purchase! From Almazan Knives.

Great to have you back 👍

He lives! Glad to see post a new vid, hope you and the family are doing great!

Really great review! Learned so much . . .

This video came very timely, Riky! I've been shopping traditional carbon Gyuotos for a few weeks now trying to find the right balance of price vs. performance and finally decided to pull the trigger on the Yoshihiro because of this video. Glad it was still (barely) in stock on your webstore. Thanks for the in depth preview and I can't wait to get my knife!

I bought the Kiashin for my first truly nice Japanese knife and I'm extremely happy with it. I have struggled with rust a little as I'll cut up a lot of stuff in one sitting. Recently I've been getting better about drying it off before setting it down even if it's just for a moment.

Yeaaaah!! Ryky's back! 😁

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. Thanks for the videos. Found you years ago👍 Happy your still around. I've learned so much.

I bought a Kaishin (in SS) and I'm in love with it! I find myself grabbing it for everything. Highly, highly recommend it!

Glad to see you're back! (BTW, could not find your other KZread 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

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?

Great to have you back!

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.

I recently found your videos trying to to sharpen my knives recently got a job in the kitchen trying to find decent knives thank you thank you for all your help I'm going to be a new subscriber by the way do you have any dollar knives laying around I really wood appreciate thanks.

Will you provide a reliable line for the Akazawa knife? Very interested, thank you.

New to your videos in the last week and I’m really loving the education. Do you recommend using the knife new out of the box as is, or would you sharpen with a finishing stone to get a sharper edge right away? Thanks!

@airwilliam24

Depends. If it's already sharp out of the box, you don't need to sharpen in, but most knives don't come out of the box very sharp. In most cases, you would benefit from sharpening the knife.

What do you think about powder metalurgy steels on chef knives? Like, for example, ZDP-189.

I bought the kaishin direclty from Japan, and i am very disapointed with the blade geometry… I spent 3hours thinning the knife… the secondary bevel was messy… and you need to precise that the knife doesnt come sharp (honbazuke) The heat treat is good, it sharpens well and the finish of the handle is perfect…

Should i get on of these or Shun Classic Blonde 8” Chef's Knife? I am having a hard time choosing.

I like it!

Just bought a knife from your website and it came in today. I am extremely satisfied with the knife and its performance so far, but I intend to carry it into my restaurant every day and so I will need some sort of saya or cover, but I can't seem to find any for it on burrfection, nor could I find any with the right dimensions after searching elsewhere online. Any recommendations as to how I can get some form of cover for my knife?

Hi which knife would you recommend for someone who cuts alot of hard vegetables like butternut squash and sweet potato?

Wow i am having so much fun listening. You LOVE knives. I appreciate the information. I am pretty new to leathermaking. I a curious to know if you know much about japanese leather crafting knives. Or how to tell which are good at performance. Thank you! I will be looking for one of these knives soon and am excited to learn more! Hope you are doing okay with the loss of your loved one 🌷

@@jenna8987: I agree with Ryky that the technique is the same, although I have a really inexpensive nakiri that is VERY difficult to sharpen. 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.

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?

Hi, the 3 knives have a stainless clad?? On your webshop it says that yoshihiro have carbon clad!

The super blue is carbon steel and the sg2 is stainless. But have great sharpness potential and edge retention, with super blue holding its retention a bit longer. However sg2 is stainless, so less maintenance

Missed the videos 😃

I am so glad you are back. Your education skills are superb. And, on a personal note, if you saw my last Patreon messages. I ask questions from similar experience. We both know the qualities of various stones, from Arkansas to Choseras to the Arkansas and diamonds and Shaptons. I appreciate your very recent message. I have somewhat sensed missing you recently. I am now relieved.

What we look while buying a knife, frst thing frst its performance, its grind, distal taper, how thin behind the edge, how it balances in a hand while cutting, i can round the spine and choil by my own but what i can not do is heat treatment and grind ofcourse, coz it takes equipments and skills to do it but to round the choil and spine, polish papers are enough.
