My two blade passions are folders and Japanese kitchen knives, with a few fixed hunters on the side. But I love Japanese artisan forged kitchen knives, especially Sakai/Echizen/Sanjo City stuff. Coolest shape are sakimaru yanagiba, but I rarely use them 😆 Favorite user is a funayuki, but it's gotta be the traditional single bevel type to be real (to me anyway)! But the forged double bevel stuff are super dream slicers too. Takeshi Saji 👆
@@haskellthompson6310 Yeah I just keep buying his stuff. Hadn't bought in a long while but just over a month ago, I bought a basic-looking knife he made out of SG3 steel, supposedly the upgrade from SG2 that few know much about yet. First I've ever seen the steel. It's an odd rough looking knife, I think he just wanted to play around with the steel. It was sold as an outdoor/hunting knife and has thick stock, but it's my new favorite kitchen petty knife.
@@scottster8858 they have a tendency to want to drift if you’re doing certain cuts… They also are not ambidextrous. If you are right-handed you have to have a specific grind on your chisel knife versus if you’re left-handed

What are some of the reasons you may not want a chisel knife?
