shellylh Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Shelly, let us know what you think of that Malbec, looks delsih. The Malbec was pretty nice, not enough to go out and buy a case but still good for the price ($13). Jacob's knife addiction is contagious. I wanted to get a wa-gyoto style knife so with Jacob's help, I ordered a JCK Inazuma 240mm Wa-Gyoto. Seems like good knife for the price. Although, I hope it doesn't look quite as gaudy in person.

tyrion Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice knife Shelly. Reks, how does that stuff compare to the Shun Classic. The prices seem pretty reasonable. I'm thinking of going with a 7" Wusthof cleaver for cutting ribs. Mens Journal recommended the 9" but I think that is more cleaver than I need. I need something that can handle blade on bone contact.

tyrion Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 well, it would come down to profile, mostly, as they are both good steel. if you like to rock the blade a lot, the Shun is going to be better. if you like to slice more, the gyuto is going to be better. the Shuns are well constructed and have great fit and finish. make sure you don't accidentally get a Chinese cleaver, they aren't made for bone contact. The Wusthof is described as a bone crusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Awesome lineup Jim, and Reks is right that warning label is all win. Bitchin' knife, Shelly! It doesn't look gaudy to me, and I bet the blade will be much more subtle looking in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Heh, I thought the warning was nice so I left it on. I missed the knife earlier Shelly and agree with Al that it does not look gaudy. I love the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Nice haul of gin Jim! Looking at the knife again, I think I am going to like it a lot. Edited January 24, 2011 by shellylh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currawong Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Those prices seem incredibly reasonable. Maybe I should start a kitchen knife habit (as a successor to my high-school knife interest) to encourage me to cook more. Considering I live in Japan I have little excuse not to.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 there is a word for the hammered effect, anyway: tsuchime.Thanks. Is it referred to as a noun, I.E. "nice tsuchime on that one"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks. Is it referred to as a noun, I.E. "nice tsuchime on that one"? It can be used both as a noun and adjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I had a Mil Shark 750T that I regret selling. I'm tempted by the Mil Shark 5000T. The price new is a lot but not bad considering what they used to be. I'm on the look out for a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
