Just bought one of these bad boys online straight from the nippon
Only used the KS from masamoto before this
I really liked it but I hate the japanese style grip of the KS. Just hoping this beats out my MAC pro.
Also, I guess this is a knife thread

>no knives
I got a mac pro and some shitty department store knives
Been using the mac pro for like 5 years during my career as a line cook. got the mac second hand from another cook. Don't have a means of taking pics though. The masamoto hasn't shipped in yet. Still gonna be another week or so.
Wanna actually talk about knives here or do you want to stick to your fast food shitposting?

Guys I'm going to Tokyo in a few months. What Nippon knife brands/shops should I look at?

Is just go to one of the thousands of cutlery shops in the city and talk to manufacturers/dealers
I'm sure they'll let you hold and feel various knives so you can get a general idea, but you won't really know how much you like the knife til you've had it a while or hit it with the stone a few times

Every couple of years I think "why the fuck don't I have a Masamoto"

Then I look at the pictures and remember, the god handles are for god damm gorilla ham planets. I guess they want it to be handle heavy which is fine, but come on, fuck. Why can't they make a sab profile nip knife with sab style handles?

Just buy a MAC knife. Really.

All that Hattori Hanzo shit is for yuppies with too much money on their hands.
