Agreed, I love Wakui- San's work. Very solid performance, reasonably minimal maintenance. Yoshikane has definitely trained some amazing smiths.

Wakui 240 Gyuto was my first Japanese knife and i absolutely love it. Thank you ever soooo much for sharing a more in depth look into the story behind Wakui. Now i love my knife even more🗡️ More of these stories, please 🤞

I am so pleased to have brought his 210 gyuto home with me today. It was the congee that caught my eye, but craftsmanship was the deciding factor. As always, without your staff I’d never know the pleasure of a quality knife. Thanks again!

So glad we are learning more about the recent visit to Japan and this blacksmith. What beautiful knives! I look forward to seeing them on the website.

I could use a Knifewear x Wakui crowbar 😊

I must say Naoto is a perfect choice for the youtube videos! He was really nice and cool when I met him at knifewear in vancouver. Very helpful and knowledgeable at his craft what a sexy beast ;)

Just bought the 210💪🏻

Thanks for this video!

I know Wakui has made a 270 gyuto in the past. Think you will get any in that size?

If I was to add one of this blacksmiths knives, it would probably be a nakiri. Based on the information about the grind and edge geometry in the video, it should be a veg prep monster.

i have this knife for years, it is one of the best knife for the money. better compare to masakage yuki

Mhm, knitwear. When do the new beanies drop?

If you don't know how good wakui knives are, you are not a knife guy.
