    The Nigara is a stunning knife!. Btw the swooshing in and out of frame during the introduction looks suave af

    Great video! Make series where you compare Bunkas that did win best performance from other battles! Like a tournament!

    Hey! Just wanted to say I picked up a Yoshikazu Tanaka 240 gyuto in White 1 from you guys about a month or so ago and Im loving it! It's my first Japanese knife and certainly wont be the last

    I have two Kato bunkas, my only bunkas. They cut really well. Are the minamo roll forged similar to Kurosaki Senko?

    These are beautiful Bunkas. Quick question, when do you restock your store. Is is a 2 month thing, or just whenever the smiths finish an order?

    I had the Hatsukokoro Bunka. When it comes to bang for your buck I think this is one of the best out there. BUT I did sell it again, because the knife was kind of soul-less. Sounds weird to some. Others will understand. But for a pure working knife, especially in a professional kitchen, I think it's hard to beat. And that convex geometry is easier to thin compared to the hollow geometry the Katos and Nigaras usually come with.

      nigara only uses hollow grinds on their budget lines. this is one of the cheapest knives they currently have and for the money it's a really excellent value. Nigara grinds on their mid, high and custom tier knives are superb. and they do it all.

    Did you guys do the “what your knife roll says about you” series yet? I can’t find it

    LOL...just sat down to the computer after unwrapping my newly delivered 5 minutes ago Shibata Koutetsu R-2 Bunka and saw this vid!

    • @jeffhicks8428
      @jeffhicks8428 2 місяці тому

      imo that's a better performing knife than anything in the video. The nigara look slick but the Shibata would out cut any of those quite easily

    My Hatsukokoro Hayabusa didn't come out of the box 100% sharp. briefly on an Arashiyama 6k and the thing flew through onions.

    Hello,
    Thanks for this video.
    Not being a big fan of Minamo finish, what how these two alternatives compare:
    Yoshimi Kato Ginsan Nashiji Walnut Bunka 17 cm
    Yoshimi Kato SG2 Tsuchime Bunka 17 cm
    ?
    Same blade geometry? (unclear, I get contradictory info)
    Thanks

      Eventually got the Yoshimi Kato SG2 Tsuchime Bunka 17 cm.
      I'll let the community know what is my feedback after a few weeks of use.

    This is so sad i’m not in canada, i’d love to buy knives for you but importing from France is painfully expensive

      japanese knives are just about as hot in Europe as they are in North America. Tons of shops you could find within the EU free trade zone.
