- The star in this video is by far the most sniffed at by my cat Japanese Knife in the collection. The Jiro Nakagawa #340 - Sujihiki 240mm Yasuki White Shirogami #1 Soft Iron Clad Tagayasan WA handle.
I'm not worthy.
I was working as a chef in Amsterdam and ive been personally in Karasu knife shop! Such a beautiful place! Small but full of good quality knife
Yeah, Karasu is a really nice little shop full of quality stuff. That's why I try not to go there too often. Where did you work in Amsterdam, I might know the place?
@@chefknivesenthusiast i was working for an Italian restaurant Cecconi’s Amsterdam! In spuistraat
@@robertobachis I never have been there. Is it good? I did eat at a really good Italian restaurant on Spui plein itself called Vossa I think.
@@chefknivesenthusiast its a classic Italian restaurant! We made everything fresh daily! Suggest you to try the Cacio e pepe pasta! Team its all Italian! If you go say you are a knife friend of Roberto (its me)
@@robertobachis I love a Cacio e pepe!
Just noticed on the certificate it was written 8” in kanji and 240mm for the blade length. Actually 8” should be 203.2mm and 240mm would be 9.45”. So what is the actual blade length you got there? Btw great knife.
Heel to tip: 240 mm
Spine: 251 mm
Thanks. It is indeed a fine blade.
The spine of the knife is such a satisfyingly nice engineering detail. Those MF Doom covers in the back…*subscribes*
Thanks for the sub! All caps when you spell the man name! #MFDOOM
The extreme tapering at the neck of the spine...😍 The taper towards the tip. A dead giveaway of a hand forged blade.
Great video and gorgeous knife but a suggestion to lose the constant background music - difficult to hear your voice for hard-of-hearing folk.
Thank you! Yeah, in most of my more recent videos the background music is turned down a few notches.
It was a pleasure watching this video. Thank you for taking the time to put together this great content. Jiro's knives are definitely beautiful works of art. Congratulations on your purchase!
Thank you for your kind words Dominic, much appreciated! 🙏🏽👊🏽
do the performance on this Jiro match the Troll killer?
It's hard to compare the two, since both knives are for different purposes. The Sujhiki does perform great when slicing raw fish. And the Troll Killer is an excellent performer two, for the more diverse tasks I use it for. So yeah, both are great performing knives!
That Jiro is mind stunningly beautiful. Jiros are hard enough to come by, with a WA handle, even more unique. Awesome knife to add to the collection.
Couldn't agree with you more Franki!
Hahaha, nice 🐱👍
🙏🏾 My cat's thoughts exactly!
So much beauty!
Kasumi kasumi kasumi thick thick thick neck special tapered spine...so much beauty indeed!
@@chefknivesenthusiast and that hamon-like cladding line just makes the kasumi extra special.
@@davidtatro7457 It does look kind of hamon like now you mention it.
Thank you for the great video. Really enjoyed the insight into his process, truly a great artisan!
Jiro is the real deal!! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Congratulation, first the Nakiri now the Sujihiki! Sorry I saw the Nakiri video first....
Thank you, and no worries! At least you saw them both. Niw I'm still on the hunt for a Jiro 240 mm Gyuto WA.
Good luck!@@chefknivesenthusiast
At last you get to own a piece of magic from jiro nice wanto San. What would be your next target?. I am looking for getting one of manaka San or mazaki san knife next huhuhu
Another Jiro knife, preferably a Nakiri with WA handle, is on my bucket list for sure. A nice Deba (still don't have a Deba in the collection) and a 450mm Sakimaru Rainbow Damascus Yanagiba/Sujihiki from Nigara. Other than that, I'm done with buying knives for a while. I'm actually going to sell a few knives from my collection to thin the herd.
Also. I'm starting with my own restaurant on April 15, so obviously most of my time and money will go into setting that up in the next few months-years.
So I'm not looking at or targeting any knives until I have a healthy and buzzing restaurant going on here in Amsterdam! Priorities, priorities...
Good luck hunting for a Manaka/Mazaki knife, I hope you'll get your fix whenever you're ready!
Congratulations on the knife! Great video and I am waiting for more of your vids )) Cheers
Thank you, and it's great to hear you're enjoying my videos. 🙏🏾
Love the video and the Suji, though i had to put my Jiro's back in the box when you were feeling the tsuchime finish. it got a little NC 17 lol!
Hahaha! Nah, what? You gotta expose children to certain things and techniques as young as possible.
@@chefknivesenthusiast you are right, i really need to stop sheltering my knives... knives will be knives after all ;)
How the spine thickens at the end, wonderful work.
Edit:
Wrote this comment the second i saw the spine.. seemingly i'm not the only one stunned
Any chef knives enthusiast will be stunned by the geometry of the spine on Jiro's knives. So I completely understand your instinctive reaction.
@@chefknivesenthusiast Or maker ;-). Gotta try this when i have free time! Love your videos btw!
I’ve been trying to find a Jiro knife for months!
Well, prepare to be disappointed for a lot longer than 2 months. Took me almost 2 years.
Jiro makes about 2 or 3 knives a week. They only are sold at about six or seven selected vendors in the world. Lot's of people are on the notification waitinglist...whenever a new batch of Jiro knives drop they sell out in seconds.
