Thank you for your kind words and support! I wish every true knive nerd, like you, to have a Jiro one day! Good luck being at the right time, at the right place 🙏🏾

So am I! Thank you buddy 🙏🏾

You're welcome and thank you for your support! Didn't plan to do that recipe at the end, but I thought I might as well show what I quickly whipped up with the veggies that I cut using my Jiro Nakiri for the first time. 🤷🏾‍♂️ It was a nice meal!

I'm not religious at all, but thank God for Jiro! 😘

@@chefknivesenthusiast 😁🤘

Well, thank you for your kind words. I can't help being passionate about Chef Knives and love sharing my enthusiasm here on KZfaq. You might like to check out more of my videos, there are lots to be found on my channel. Cheers!

Much appreciate the kind words bud! 🙏🏾

Thank you so much! What gave it away, the goosebumps?

@@chefknivesenthusiast 😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣👍

My point exactly! I'm really happy for me that dream came true twice already.

👌🏽

I am a lucky guy indeed, to be living a stones throw from two amazing and reputable Japanese Knives Stores in Amsterdam (Knife World and Karasu Knives)! And then have another amazing store just a 45 minute train ride from Amsterdam in Den Haag (Rangelrooij).

@@chefknivesenthusiast Yes I know, but I am from Germany. So it's not so easy to enter the store for a special sale. But never the less - congratuations - nice knife! I have orderd knifes and stuff from both stores. But it was obvious to me - that the Jiro will not get to the online store.

I fortunately have never (micro)chipped my Jiro. 🙏🏾

180mm long and quite tall. It's quite a common size for a Nakiri next to the 165mm sized Nakiri's. This Jiro is still dwarfed by my 400mm Anryu Mega Long Nakiri though! 🤣 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdppms1h3c6Ue6c.html

Wow man, congratulations! What profile is the Jiro #420 and is it YO or WA handled?

@@chefknivesenthusiast yo handle. 22.5cm.

@@Oomph6006 Gyuto?

Next time you are in Karasu try the Kiya "Suminagashi" 170mm Nakiri, i think you will like it.

@@chefknivesenthusiast Sorry. Yes Gyuto..

Yeah, that's how I felt before I owned two Jiro's. But, again...the chance of getting your hands on a Jiro is very low, but never zero! Keep hunting them Jiro's ya'll!

Thank you so much! I wish that I could compare this Jiro Nakiri vs. a Shigefusa Nakiri, but unfortunately, I do not own a Shigefusa Nakiri... I do own a Shigefusa Santoku, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to compare two different profiles to each other.

Well. There's always one more... Still have a few dream knives on my bucket list. A Tsukasa Hinoura River Jump Nakiri is on top of that list.

Watch my last video if you want to see a few good examples of the pinnacle of all Japanese knives: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pphmks6VrNy9ZKc.html

Next, a tojiro Western gyuto lol

@@lawrenceragnarok1186 Why not? I might just need a Tojiro in my life. They do have a bladesmith (Tomoo Matsumaru) now who makes completely hand forged knives as well.

The choil and spine are slightly rounded off. Just enough to take the edge off. I do like rounded choil and spines. Who doesn't like great fit and finish? But in this case, I am happy to take the knife as it is. I can round off the choil and spine myself if I want to.

Thank you so much! I still can't believe the knife gave me the goozies when unboxing it. I didn't know that was even possible. It is hard to say, and perhaps not even fair, to compare the Jiro with the Denka already. Since I have only used my Jiro twice and the Denka for a few months. But just going off on my first experiences with the Jiro, it definitely rivals the Denka already. But I don't want to pick between the two of these knives. They are both ridiculous performers.

I don't know if I told you this before, but every time I see your youtube handle, it makes me chuckle! Let it rip, you fart Ninja 🤣

I live on the third floor, high and dry! Hahaha.

Thank you so much!

@@chefknivesenthusiast jiro San would be proud watching your video

@bi din I certainly hope so. I will slide into his DM on Instagram to send him the link to my video. 😎 He did like the video that I have made with his Sujihiki #340, so I hope he'll enjoy this one as well. 🙏🏾

Anything giving you goosebumps is usually a good thing. I gotta try me a Mazaki one day.

@adamellistutorials You gotta hunt for it. Be on the lookout. Follow all the selected vendors that may sell Jiro knives. You can find a list of the sellers on the Hitohira site (supplier/agent of Jiro knives in Japan). Many vendors will do a raffle when they receive a Jiro knife. They usually promote that on their socials. Mind you. Jiro has been selling knives for more than 10 years, and his knife count is still below 600. The demand is high. So. The chance of getting your hands on a Jiro is very low. But never zero. Good luck!

I was wearing man-diapers, because my complete underwear collection wouldn't suffice.

No, I'm not Balinese. But my brother lives in Bali for 12 years now and my mother for 5 years.

@@chefknivesenthusiast Cool. Maybe we can colab to make video about knife 🙌🏼😊

@@ParesoID Where are you based?
