>xer knives don't have a monomolecular edge which even shows up in shitty phone photos
How can you fags even cut tomateux?

>>20216966
Discounted Fujiwara arrived earlier today. It was a display knife and had some slight patina forming on the edge. The finger notch is a bit smaller than I anticipated for my giant fucking fingers but it feels great and I think it'll be an excellent workhorse.

>>20217005
>no sign of any use
is it "stainless?" lol?

btw all those knives pre-date the US Civil War but one, can you guess which one?

>>20217122
No one cares you stupid faggot. We know the only reason you made the thread is because you think you’re knives are a flex. Embarrassed for you desu senpai

>>20217122
I think you need to post a photo where we can actually see the blades anon

in any case that's cool beans

>>20217122
I care, and think that is very cool. My daily is a munetoshi petty that lives in a constant cycle of being rusty, and then I polish it to perfection, and let it get rusty again. I like polishing, so I'm fine with it.

>>20217005
>Post your daily drivers
>posts not a daily driver
what did anon mean by this?

>>20217445
I think he's just excited about his nice new knife. :D

I would have fun polishing that thing up! If you enjoy polishing knives you get to spend less money and have more fun. It's great.

>>20217358
that santoku and bread knife look like they're part of a nice set

>>20217358
I keep an esee 4 in my kitchen, for opening packages

>>20217115
he said it arrived today, you retard

>>20217358
>esee 6
based
my wife bought me one for Christmas

>>20217687
not a daily driver, genius

>>20216988
all the knife anyone here will ever need

knives are just metal with an edge and a handle.
If you need it sharper, get a stone and sharpen.

If you need to cut bread get a serrated edge knife.

Everything else is just marketing.

>>20217358
you're one of those fags who owns a tactical fanny pack right

>>20217115
It's stainless clad, white steel core.

>>20217445
These are my other daily use knives. 240mm SG2 kiritsuke and 175mm blue super bunka.

I have other knives but I mostly just use them for cutting boxes now

>>20217985
Lmao these knifes look like absolute dog crap

I paid like ten dollars. The sheath Jones and sharpens the edge every time it’s drawn.

>>20218065
Based. Just as efficient as the $200 weeb knives posted ITT lmao

>>20218213
I used to think this. Then I actually used a nice weeb knife and there's simply no going back.

>>20218378
Don't feed the troll, he's probably upset about being too poor and unable to respect himself with such a knife. Saddening, really.

>>20218065

High IQ move ngl.

Coping weebchuds

>>20218522
Knifelets and honelets are some of the biggest copefags on the internet. Far too scared to ever consider how stupid they may sound.

I've let a few friends do a back to back cutting comparison between my vic and some of my high end jap knives. They understand after the first cut.

>>20218743
>Some of my high end jap knives
That you never learned how to sharpen?

>>20217373
Actually it's pretty neat. People flex with their knives all the time here.

What do you use, Chinese-made "victorinox" branded shit made from rolled steel? LOL

>>20217708
That's trash. What you want is pic for even less money - it's actually forged.

>>20216966
how do you kno wif you can trust an old knife
is there someone you can take it to to sharpen it for you

I enjoy the Ninja knife set. May get the damascus hexclad set if I ever wanted to go all out for the meme.

>>20219839
Why wouldn't you sharpen your own knives? If you don't know how just pop on down to the thrift store and buy a cheap knife to sacrifice as you learn.

>>20219841
>amazon adbot enters the thread

>>20216966
Those shits older than Donald Trumps' balls.

>>20219900
How much do you think I could charge to sharpen knives? Expecting retards to know how to invest $250 into a hobby that requires time and concentration to become proficient is a bit much to ask of the typical domesticated basic bitch these days, it makes me think sharpening could be a side gig.

>>20220057
5-8 dollars for anything under 6 inches, and then 1 dollar per extra inch after that. Maybe offer an economy and premium option.

The economy option will use a diamond 400 to create a burr, and then a 1k stone final edge. The premium will be the same, but you will tune the edge angle to suit the knife, and apply a 3k microbevel to improve sharpness and edge retention. If you want to really ball out get a couple japanese naturals and you can put a refined or extra toothy edge that will stay sharper than a synthetic edge.

Base Edge repair charge is 20 dollars, but severely damaged knives will be extra.

>>20220057
The other option is to do an economy price where you use a belt grinder or tormek, and the premium option is completely by hand.

If you're an honest sharpener you would never use uncooled, powered abrasives because they destroy the temper at the very edge of the knife severely reducing edge retention. A second hand tormek would be a great option, but still fairly expensive.

>>20220119
$8 for 45 minutes of work + cost of wear on stones doesn't sound too good, especially if they'd need a lot of work with diamond stones. $20 sounds more worth it to me but I kinda doubt people wanna pay that much for their shitty $30 knives. Seems like anybody with enthusiasm for a sharp knife would be seeking to gain the lifelong skill of sharpening rather than hope to find someone who can do it for them. Threads like this prove lots of people like to be obstinately opposed to sharp edges and enjoy cutting with butter knives.

>>20220466
A 400 grit diamond plate will sharpen an extremely dull knife in like 10 minutes or less, and then it is only a couple mins on the higher grit stone. You just need to use a lot of pressure on the diamond plate.

It's for the housewives with rich husbands. They get fancy knife sets, but will never learn to sharpen.

I forged out a yanagiba but I need to grind it and heat treat

I think it's already too thin

>>20220479
That's a cat not a knife.

>>20220478
I got the atoma 140 but I don't use much pressure. It leaves very deep scratches so I just ordered a Shapton pro 220 to replace it. I'm considering getting a Shapton glass 500, too, but I'll have to see how the 220 does.

>>20220490
The atoma 400 is fast enough and jumping to the longer lasting synths isn't as bad. The 220 shapton dishes crazy fast. The 500 shapton glass also dishes super fast.

You can go from 400 atoma to 1.5k kuromaku with relative ease.

>>20220496
I heard the Shapton 220 dishes fast but they're less than $30 so I wasn't going to worry about it. I heard a lot of praise for the Shapton glass, especially the 500, but mostly just for stainless super steels. Sounds like you have enough experience with dishing out glass stone, so I'll take your word on the atoma 400. That just might be my next stone...

>>20220531
Look at my 1k glass. There's like 1mm left on it, lol. I was using it for a lot of single bevels knives, and blasted through it because I needed it flat.

I always shill the shapton 1.5k kuromaku for an all rounder. Really slow dishing, fast, and a good feeling stone.

>>20220572
How long does the atoma 400 last for you? Seems to be a lot of threads about them wearing out fast, too. Might need that tormek.

>>20220619
Mine is still going pretty strong. It has slowed down some, but not overly so. I have used it quite a bit. You can replacement tops for atomas to save a little money.

I have this ridiculous precision diamond plate from shapton that was crazy expensive, but the diamond has lasted for a remarkably long time on it. It's in the 600-800ish grit range. You can even send the plate back to get fresh diamonds on it, but I haven't needed that yet. The extreme flatness is excellent for straight razor honing. I don't recommend it for most people.

>>20220699
It looks like a machine like a tornek is the practical solution for doing a lot of major grinding, there's even cheap $100-$200 knock offs that I could test the waters with to get started. Pic related looks interesting, too (shinko). Thank you for sharing your experience.

>>20216966
I use a Misen 180mm Chef's Knife, bought it for ~$50 which I feel is a decent price.
Can't believe it's fucking $80 now! Glad Misen declared bankruptcy, won't be missed.

>>20217005
I really want a knife with a finger notch/hole, but all those are so pricey ugh.

>>20219825
Ontario Knife Company was bought by another company and the factory was closed.
Do they even plan on making Old Hickory knives again? Still out of stock.

>>20217005
bro your knife got acne

weird way to say you're tarded but okay

>>20218033
Based. I have the same stone holder and some diamond stones from ultrasharp. I barely even use knives any more but just sharpen them in my basement. It is a great hobby

>>20218065
>The sheath Jones and sharpens the edge every time it’s drawn.
kek i need to see a close up of thaf edge after about a dozen uses

>>20221760
The thing I like about this knife is that even if I don't keep it sharp it still cuts nicely because of the grind. And when I do keep it sharp it cuts like a dream. Only problem is I can't leave it in the sink overnight (I still do, but I know I shouldn't)

One of these days I'll get some diamond stones

>>20221783
The buck is a classic. The state of that cash though.. What the hell went wrong eith Canada?
