On Cutlery ...

looking at the knife links yall put up,  i am  out knifed.
 
most all my kitchen knifes  are old hickorys.
 
 they sharpen ez and quick.
 
 after use, i just wipem down with veg oil and they good to go.
 
i figure a 5 dollar steak wont taste no better using a US old hickory or a komakzzee special

I like that.
A Nakiri is a up and coming selection as I think it would be a great fit for my sushi work.

if you careful and not abuse your blades a strop works well

I have some concerns as well. I am going to contact a rep with Kai / Shun and inquire a bit further. It came with my 8" chefs knife along with the knife block all for the same list price as the 8" chefs alone. I also got the 9.5"slicer / fork combo for the price of the 9.5" slicer alone.
I am actually interested in getting a few large whetstones to keep my blades in top shape.
 
I have used all of them at every opportunity and am beyond impressed. I have rusty, but very good knife skills and maybe/probably all in my head, feel these knives make me even better than before.
 
The slicer was like a light saber on the turkey at Thanksgiving. I was careful to avoid any bone contact as these are the first high carbon blades I have ever owned/used. 
I get to use the chefs knife quite a bit more and the feel and balance in the hand along with the ease of cut makes it an absolute pleasure to use.
 
I could not wait to try my pro yanagiba in solid VG-10 so I picked up some boneless short ribs for some tacos. Some trimming required. The work ended too fast.
It my not be my first choice for a sushi/sashimi knife, but I cannot afford $1500.00 for a really NICE knife. It is very good compared to what I have been using though. And until chef Jiro Ono passes his knives to me upon his retirement, Yeah I know, pipe dream.
I'll settle for dinner at Sukiyabashi Jiro then. Yeah, I know, another pipe dream. Gotta have dreams though.
 
I have been strongly requested to make sushi for Christmas so it will get its first real workout then, unless I get a uncontrollable urge for some sashimi before then. Pretty good possibilities of that.
 
My biggest problem right now is I cant wait to acquire the next 3 selections or 4 or 5.
 
 
A set of stones and a strop are the way to go and with YouTube it's easy to learn how to sharpen and put a better edge on your knive then the factory does.
