It seems like they're not available any more in a full set (at least nobody sells a full set) but I picked up few from the Miyabi 7000MC from Henckels and I freaking LOVE them. They're not quite as pretty as many of the handmade Japanese knives, especially some of the etched ones, but they're SUPER sharp and the steel is hardened to a rockwell hardness of 66, far beyond even most premium handmade knives. I got the Santoku, the chef's knife, and the utility knife, I just wish they had a Nakiri in the set. By far the best knives I've ever owned, but I've never spent a TON on kitchen knives.    They were a great upgrade from my Cutco knives I bought when I was 20. =) No Wave posted:I made a few borosilicate honing rods. No Wave, Any chance you would be willing to sell one of those? I can't seem to find a good borosilicate rod anywhere now that HandAmerican seems to have stopped selling them. GrAviTy84 posted:

Chef De Cuisinart posted:I have a 8in Miyabi guyto. It's not bad, It's a 700D, and it is most definitely not 66 rockwell. The 7000D aren't made form the same steel as the 7000MC series. Also, it unfortunately seems like Henckels discontinued the MC and MCD (which is etched to look pretty) lines that are made of harder ZDP-189, and they are using the softer VG10 steel in their other Miyabi lines including the . I picked them up because I wanted the amazing durability of the steel. The other Miyabi lines, the Miyabi Pro, the 7000D is VG10 rebadged as CMV60. VG10 isn't bad steel, it is 60 rockwell hardness after all, but the difference is significant. I wish they had made a few more kinds of knives in the MC series, they are totally amazing, I'd have loved a Nakiri for slicing vegetables.

deimos posted:Yeah Miyabis are actually from a Japanese OEM they bought recently IIRC. That's a shame, the MC and MCD knives are really nice, but the new lines pale in comparison. They use MUCH softer steel.

No Wave posted:Realistically, mine are kind of poo poo and the reason I've been sitting on it is I don't even know if the rubber's food grade. They're foosball handles, so really they only would be incidentally. I don't think this matters, but I wanted to give the disclaimer. I'd send you one for the cost of shipping, like $7 if you wanted. I sent you a PM, I'd totally be up for that, thanks!! Filboid Studge posted:Teak has like 1.5 % silicon dioxide crystals by weight. That is aka sand/quartz/amethyst. Teak is therefore good for non-slip boat decks and really poo poo for every tool it meets, and your knees if you fall over on it... Wow, I never knew why it was such a common deck material for boats. The stuff won't rot if you use teak oil on it too. I spent many summers during my teenage years cleaning & oiling my uncles boat in exchange for the ability to use it to swoon women once in a while. cryospam fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Aug 14, 2013 |

blacquethoven posted:Planning on picking up a new knife for work, but I can't decide between Ok, well they're a bit more than the 130 dollar price range at 180, but with it's 66 rockwell hardness and the fact that they're a discontinued line of $300 knives, you would NOT be disappointed with the Miyabi 7000 MC or MCD line (good luck finding any MCD's in stock.) Don't get the 7000 Pro's, they kind of suck as the steel is much softer and not as resilient plus they are the same price. They're a bit hard to find, (no stores with storefronts have them due to them being discontinued) but Cutlery And More has got some in stock still. For a basic review on them check out The Make Sushi YouTube Channel and if you're looking for a much more in depth and technical review from Zknives. I looked around for a while, and almost pulled the trigger on a couple of Konosuke Mirror blades but after reading a TON of reviews, the Miyabi's just seemed like a better set. Chef De Cuisinart posted:...ffffffffffff order to be placed when I get paid. Have you read the very in depth zKnives reviews of the Tojiro DP's? They reviewed well, but were not considered amazing by any stretch of the imagination. If you're going to wait until Payday to get something, there are a TON of better choices no? cryospam fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Oct 3, 2013 |
