YOSHIHIRO- Shiroko-Kasumi Funayuki Chef Knife 6″ 150mm – MADE IN JAPAN



Funayuki 6″

I got this for a present this year. It was between this and the yanagi of the similar price, and I am glad I ended up with this size. Firstly this isn’t exactly a “general use” knife and may be a bit specialized in its tasks but that should be evident from you purchasing a single bevel knife.

Pros:

Great slicer and much more manageable than a 9″ if you are doing delicate tasks

HRC-63 is plenty hard and holds a good edge

Does everything thrown at it (within reason) extremely well I couldn’t be happier.


Cons:

It has a (lets call it 600 grit) finish? Pretty odd. It’s not ugly but being a carbon blade it can help trap water, though you should dry it off thoroughly regardless. The cutting portion when sharpened can be mirror finished so its less of a annoyance.

It does require either water stones or diamond stones to sharpen properly.


All in all this is a great knife. It has proved perfect for all the tasks I have and is really nice to…

TBCL Utility Knife 17 Centimeters

took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki 10.5″ (27cm) – Right

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.
