Those suck so bad. Take it as a sign to get a real knife made from a simple high carbon steel.

>>18831765
>Should I just buy another one
if it can't cut wood, it ain't a real knife, son.

It lasted 15 years and you were happy? Yes get another one, I'm sure that's an incredible value. Unless it was really expensive.

>>18831847
I was looking at Kyocera ceramic. Just wondering if there are better materials these days when we are in the space future year 2023 and we all have laser pistols and jetpack.

>>18831836
I don't want to sharpen every time I use it.

>>18831850
You act like a fucking idiot, just get the cheapest shit at Walmart and rave about it on facebook.

>>18831854
Brother, you only sharpen a good steel knife every 4-6 months.

Those ceramic knives have to be incredibly thick behind the edge, so they have absurd cutting resistance.

>>18831859
Facebook? I don't have that. I am livening up the conversation.

>Walmart

I am not driving hours to a crummy store such as that.

>>18831865
Then use amazon you stupid prick

>trusty

>Have knife for 15 years
>Best knife you've ever owned
>Still have to have your hand held by /ck/ to buy another fucking knife
I despise this place sometimes.

>>18831930
I don't keep up with knife tech. Some of you do.

>despise this place

This is where I talk with people about stuff, go away.

>>18832063
Thanks. I like plain, simple Garak. Though you should have posted Neelix or something.

under twenty bucks

>>18831981
Weeb shit is far better than german trash. You were doing so well too. Sad, really.

>>18831765
idk what you people are doing
i bought my mom a ceramic knife 10 years ago and she treats it like a cheap steel knife by throwing it in the sink and dishwasher and it doesn't have a single chip on it

>>18832209
Liar. Ceramic knives break if you look at them wrong.

>>18831765
Those are rookie numbers, son. Aside from your dumb ass cranking on the blade in some stupid way or daily commercial use, a knife should last a litetal lifetime.

I posted this in another thread but....op
Wasabi 8''.... you're welcome.

>Wasabi 8''
That's what my asian wife calls my big american penis.

>>18831981
german handle/bolster's are horrible designs generally, the ones that have good designs are collaborating or copying japanese handles/bolsters
>no bolster>bolster
show me a german knife that isnt a piece of shit with no bolster

>>18832311
8 inches is far too much for a child.

>>18832223
I have one that I've used daily for six or seven years. I only recently chipped it by slicing through a raw chicken, which I've done hundreds of times. Yes, I fucking split the breast bones and the spines. They're very sharp. It's all about technique. And it was a cheap ass knife, too. Something like $15. They're cool knives, but you have to use them like a surgeon.

>>18833265
Pretty sure I broke mine cutting through an onion. It wedged and I gently slammed the knife into my plastic cutting board.

I use handmade Jap blades for everything these days.

>>18831850
I had a kyocera cell phone back in 2003. Used to light up all sorts of gay colors and shit when people called. Shit web browser. Damn I miss those days.

>>18832089
>coated stainless
What happens to coating when I sharpen? How badly will that coating fuck up my stones?

>>18833363
What is that chisel shaped knife left of the sujihiki (?)

>>18833602
Usuba. That's a small yanagiba also.

>>18833623
Aren't they the same thing except the angle on the edge? Like one is 90/10 and the other should be about a 60/40?

>>18833642
Nah. They are both single bevel. You need the taller blade for katsuramuki and the yani is steeper.

>>18833363
Why do you have 5 identical knives?

>>18833717
NTA but Jap knives are a hobby as much as they are functional tools

>>18833363
The ceramic knife is a slicing weapon. Any lateral motion or impact can hurt it, but it is sharper than everything else.

>>18833596
coating is pretty thin so it'll just wear away. it's the same company behind shun and kershaw so probably safe for the stones. i just use a hone

>>18833716
>single bevel
the superior form

>>18831765
Why ceramic, is that a British thing? Get one of these, cost me 25$ in 2015 bought from a hardware/home supplies store. A small one is very easy to use

>>18833717
They're from different makers so they have different feels to them. far left and far right are from two of the best kitchen knife makers in all of japan.

I make knives so i can learn from them also.
