    Hey sir, what is the difference between the yoshihiro mizu Maki gyuto and the aogami one? I bought the "non-aogami" version from Amazon and was wondering if there was a difference, or if maybe the listing name was just wrong, or what.

    All this is nice, I also have my knives sets. What I don’t get is why do you need so many. I mean I also have more than I can use in a day… which is maybe wrong since the steel industry is highly pollutant: they send tons of CO2 to the atmosphere daily. And I am also concerned about climate change so I think I have enough knives to pass to my children and the quality so good they can go down for generations.

Your delivery is rapid, and though you know your stuff and know what you mean, it is hard to understand. Would like a guide to steels, number of layers etc. Back to basics for those that are just curious and starting out.

    Hey there, I'm about to buy my second SG2 gyuto (so far I've got Yoshimi Kato SG2 and I'm in love with it) and I'm wondering which one to pick - Sukenari SG-2 gyuto or Yu Kurosaki Senko SG2 gyuto. Sukenari is a bit cheaper, has (imo) better, minimalist look but blade is thicker than in Kurosaki (2mm vs 2.5mm) - I usually prefer thinner blades. Aditionally Yu Kurosaki "brand" seems more um reliable to me? I'm going to use this knife for cutting sushi rolls mostly. I'd be grateful for any word of advice from you!

    Hi Ryky, I really like the Takeshi Saji R2/SG2 Black Damascus Kiritsuke Gyuto with White Ebony Buffalo Horn Handle. Gorgeous knife! I would like to know how delicate an R2/SG2 is compared to classic carbon steel like White #1 or Blue #2. As is said - i like the matt finish but sure how prone to chipping this steel type is? I recognize that the artisans prefer R2/SG2. But I have no experience with pm steel. So I am not sure it I should like the steel and if my whetstones would work with it?

    @burrfection have you ever heard of a tried Famcüte knives? Stumbled across them on Amazon when look at decent chef’s knives on a budget while getting educated on cooking since my brother is a professional chef and was going to train me this summer so I wanted to have a decent gyuto style knife setup. Didn’t know wether to try them or Nexus as they are roughly in the same pricing range. Big difference being the Famcüte has a octagon wooden handle and is HRC 60-62 unlike Nexus at 63 HRC. Appreciate your input. I’ve been a collector and lover of traditional Japanese Katana/History after being turned onto Japanese history when playing a game in my childhood called “Lords of the Rising Sun” on a PcEngine my brother got me when my brother was stationed in Japan for a while in the army. Anyways I’m curious to find out your input if you have opinions on Famcüte or if Nexus would be a better route to go until I’m experienced enough to use/handle more expensive cutlery like Shun without causing a lot of the hishaps to blades that I’ve seen from the knives you get in on your channel.

    Hi, Ryky! I was hesitant to get into sharpening because I thought it would be too hard to learn on my own without someone watching and teaching me. Because of your enthusiasm, I went ahead and bought a sharpening kit from the Burrfection store, and it turns out that after watching tons of your sharpening videos, I was able to get a burr very quickly, and now, all of the knives I own are razor sharp! I am interested in getting a good pair of kitchen shears. Do you have any recommendations? Many of the big knife manufacturers make shears (Shun, Enzo, Yoshihiro, Tojiro, Nexus, ...) but they don't advertise what sort of steel they are using, and it is hard to tell the quality because the description is limited. What do you think? If they are not serrated, are pull-apart shears hard to sharpen? Thanks!

    I bought a few Yaxell Dragon knives after watching your channel, then a few of the Sakai Takayuki's from your launch edition. Have to say that I love them all. The Yaxell BD1N steel knives have really held up well from the beating I've given them over the past few years. Time will tell on the Takayukis. Just had one question. I've noticed that there aren't any other Japanese manufacturers using that BD1N steel. Is there a reason for this? Too expensive (cause they have to import it)? Hard to obtain? Difficult to work with? The edge retention, low maintenance, and resilience of the BD1N knives is definitely impressive. I just wish there were other options from other Japanese manufacturers.

I think they do a very good job and still do mostly everything by hand which I appreciate a lot. I want the knife to tell a story. What do you say? Maybe you have some advice? :) Would you consider doing more reviews on santoku and nakiri in the future? Love your videos

    not ryky but generally people recommend getting a gyuto first instead of a santoku as gyutos are slightly more versatile. Santokus tend to have a bit of a less aggressive geometry so thats one of the selling points over gyutos. Some knives you should check out are Masakage yuki / mizu gyuto, ashi hamono/ginga knives or shibata knives among other brands, these are reliable makers though. If you want something to tell a story consider getting a carbon steel knife or a custom handle. I'm personally waiting on a shibata kotetsu R2 gyuto to arrive. Hope this helps some :)

    Hi Ryky, I notice some of the layers or cladding reaches near the cutting edge. With continued use and sharpening, if the layers reach the edge, will it change the performance or sharpening of the cutting edge?Thank you for all of the your informational and entertaining videos. Gil

    On some of the knives there looks like a gap in the handle like on the Masamoto KS. How is the handle attached and is there a risk it will wiggle loose? Even if the knife will last longer than my lifetime, it would be nice to be able to replace the handle in the future, on the Miyabi 5000 MCD it looks impossible to replace a handle that has had water damage.

    CaptainAwasome almost all handles(not all) have epoxy or glue that expand around the tang of the knife. Making the handle sit super hard. Only way to remove those handles is to heat them until the glue melts. Handles without any glue or epoxy is often made to fit a particular knife, so they are just the right size and sits nice aswell. But have a risk of getting water inside the handle. The small gap(Machi) is often there because it makes a change of handle easier. But tbh I wouldn’t worry to much how the handle is attached. And the gap(machi) is also left in some cases just for style and tradition of japanese knife making.

    Hey brotha! Thanks for the great videos 👍. I'm left-handed and am looking for a good kiritsuke or Japanese style chef knife, without braking the bank. I'm thinking between $200-300 per knife. Are Enso's still a good knife? The only Japanese knife I have is a Shun Brisket slicer, which is not left-handed, I believe, but still works beautifully. And was an awesome Christmas present 😁. All my other knives are European or ceramic Kyocera knives. I was a sous chef (in catering) for 13yrs b4 I hurt my back. I finally had disc replacement surgery July of last year, and am looking to get back into the game (it's been 11yrs). Never completely left bc I always cook at home, and help out friend's restaurants in need. Cooking is my passion. My faves are sushi, Central Texas bbq, and Mexican. What are your thoughts on ceramic knives, or, ceramic vs Japanese knives? Do you have a video on that? Anyway, sorry this was so long. Keep up the great work ✌️

    Material: The handle material is reconstituted turquoise, i.e. ~80% turquoise and ~20% resin. This category of handle material is often called a gemstone composite. TruStone over at rtresearch.com makes a lot of the material for e.g. knives and pens and have a lot of options in terms of color, webbing, etc. Probably the best place to start. It's not that hard to machine, so a custom maker will probably be willing to make one if you ask. You could also look into rehandling a Japanese knife with a custom wa handle. Other materials you might want to look into include: dyed stabilized burl, hybrid stabilized wood, and honeycomb resins like C-Tek. Makers: Mr. Itou (裕翠工房) is another Japanese maker who uses a lot of this material. Ikigai in the US seem to use this material quite a lot as well. Never used their products, so this is not meant as an endorsement.

I have a few scratches on my Kurosaki but I don't dare try to fix it and mess up that expensive of a knife. If I were you, I would try to grind down a bit of the edge to remove as many scratches as possible. You will probably only need to take a few mms of the edge if that much at all. Just remember to grind at the correct angle and keep water cycling on top of your stone (to prevent scratches) and you should be just fine! Thank you for responding!

    Thank you so much for this. it helps a lot. Sorry about my VV it dosnt vvork on my PC. VVell, vvhere can i get those knives, i live in Denmark, and here vve only got brands like Kai shun, Miyabe, Satake, Samura, Tojiro, Yaxell and Tamahagane. So vvhere to buy knives, like those ones, and sometimes i think it vvould help a lot of people ( like me ) if you had put on some vvritings, like names, steel lype ect, on youre videos. I love vvhat you are doing and youre videos :) I love cooking and love japanese food. I am half japanese and half danish, but born in Kobe Japan. My interest in Japanese knives, came from my mother, vvho vvas Japanese, and used Mac Nakiri, Mac Utility and Tamahagane Santuko. I started helping my mom in the kichen, vvhen i vvas 9, and loved vvatching her use those knives for everything. She died in 2006 after 7 years of sickness. The last 2 years of her life, i cooked for her almost every day, using her 3 knives. The thing is, that i got sick my self, cronic heartdesease, diabetes 2 and kidneys in bad shape, because of the 2 first mentioned deseases. So i am going on pension soon, so i vvill have much time for cooking (Alvvays vvorked a lot, so didnt have time for much cooking) So i need 3 Japanese knives Nakiri, Utility and Santuko or Gyoku, for cooking for the rest of my lige. I am prety poor, so they have to be at 150$ max each. They have to be vvith Japanese traditional handles and sharp and good materials. Could you recomend some knives and vvhere to buy them. It vvould give me a lot of joy and pleasure in the future, to have such 3 to remind me of my mother and her skills in a kichen. She vvas the Best cook EVER and could make like everything of nothing :-) Keep sharing youre visdom. Love from Denmark
