Fellow lefty. When my orchestra toured Japan in 1998, I went to Tsukiji Masomoto just off the Tokyo fish market and bought a left-handed Yaniga, they engraved my name in it. Doesn’t see a lot of use but my coolest knife by a mile.
Amazing! This was, for sure a top five Knifewear video for me. Loved it. So great hearing the story and meaning behind each one, we can all (somewhat) relate. Definitely do more of these!
As a knifemaker these vids are super educational for me. I've been making santoku and gyotu style with wa handles and a Haven't looked back on western style blades since. They just perform so well in the kitchen! This content definitely inspires and helps me step my game up. Thank you! Last blade... Holy shite! Id definitely have to slice something with it! Ma ey an eggplant, squash, zucchini or something that wouldn't tarnish the edge or finish and immediately clean and wax it.
Lordy, is your knife roll a commercial product or custom? I am in the market for one and yours looks amazing. I would love to get a leather roll like that with the full flap. I want something to hold ~ 10 knives, Any guidance appreciated.
Yeaaa what a nice video love it 🔥 For Kris i got a nakiri denka 195 man it’s a heavy beast son fun to use that knife, it’s my go to for a big batch of onion soup
The knife maker says, why did I make a knife if its not going to cut anything? He said he could have made you a box if you wanted to just have a box. Haha.
Kris Armitage, you own so many 240mm Gyutos, your next Fujiwara Denka should be a 240mm. (And selfishly, I want to see a 240mm Fujiwara Denka on video, not just photos)
I was getting upset at the fact there are so few comments on this video. Then I saw it was uploaded 1 hour ago! It is so nice and interesting to watch because of both the knives themselves and the stories. I just had a meal and this smooth jazz background music with the storytelling goes so well with how I feel after finishing the food. And thanks for the crawfish lobster education! I would love to shout "This is a crawfish you i*iot" in real life. Bonus points if it is to an obnoxious, snobby guy at a formal function lol
@@KnifewearKnives Thank you for the enjoyable content! I live in Bulgaria (European Union) and if I order from your site I would have to pay import duties and taxes, not to mention if something happens during transport. But if I ever visit Canada I would love to swing by a Knifewear store!

Was happy to make that saya for you my friend. If you can’t find the pin, let me know and I’ll gladly make another for you.
We need more of Kris ! I love his energy and humor, we need to see him more often

Found my favorite video from knifewear!
I love listening to people talk about their collection.
The story that made Chris cry was incredibly touching! I felt myself on the verge too, to be honest.

Thanks Trevor!
That Takeda Nakiri saya is superb
Great knives, Chris. Kindness is a wonderful thing.

@Kris: I would use your Kujira for a nice Wagyu beef :-). If Patina, then it‘ll be nice! Give it a go :-D!
Great suggestion!
So a Warning of some sort was required before Lordys Yanagiba story! Should'nt need a kleenex whilst watching a knife video..GULP!
