So my latest AD (like I needed another one) is Japanese chef knives. I have lots of questions, but I'll start off with a few simple ones.
What are you guys using to hone your Japanese steel? I'm getting great results with my Suita, but I cant seem to get that aggressive separation between the Hagane and the Jigane like I see in photos online. Is Uchi the best natural to bring up the Hamon on these blades?
For anyone here that loves both honing and cooking I strongly suggest you try and acquire at least one good Japanese knife. They are an absolute joy to hone and use.
