Along the same lines, here's how they process giant bluefin tuna:

I think that the Japanese have the best knives. Their tradition with sword-making is remarkable as to how they would laminate samurai cutlery....:light:

Their traditional woodworking tools are also something to behold....(the saw...as seen being used in bluefin vid mentioned above).

I recently bought a 14-16" folding saw made in Japan ($70.00 :O:O:O ) that I carry when dirtbiking mountain trails here in BC as there is often deadfall blocking trails (Pine beetle kill up here is horrible so lots of trees are falling)....and it has a double-row of teeth that cut both ways....VERY efficient !!!! And it puts the saws my pals have to shame.

I have this straight blade folding one:

I let my riding buddies try it out so they can be equally impressed.....and I get to sit back and let them have a go at it :biggrin:

Kinda like the Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer fence-painting logic :cool:

Wooo hooo....I am going to be in yellowtail prep mode in a few minutes...Juan just called to report they caught a whack of YT this morning...first ones for us this season!!!!!! a month early too....yeah baby...pray for tuna boys.

Hook - 7-14-2013 at 09:28 AM

Those are yellowfin.........but still an amazing video.

Small, but perfect sashimi size, for my tastes.

How many teeth per inch do you recommend, motoged, for clearing limbs and small trees across the trail?

Hook,
It seems that I went for the saw with "Large" teeth (never thought of that when buying....just took what they had in the shop....).

Slick unit that should last for years (don't know how salty air will affect blade?)....so ....no logging when fishin' :biggrin:

shari - 7-14-2013 at 11:07 AM



so nice to see those tails in the back of the truck once again! sashimi ON!!!

woody with a view - 7-14-2013 at 11:16 AM

I guess you will have to save either Aug 3 or 5 for me to fish with Juan if this keeps up! See if anyone else wants to split the costs.

Hook - 7-14-2013 at 11:17 AM

OK, ged. Big teeth are probably the way to go for clearing stuff fast.

No, I wont be using them near the ocean. Headed up into heavy pine beetle area this summer with the Jeep. Gonna be around the Durango area as well as the Granby area of Colorado. Some REALLY bad devastation from the beetles in the Granby area.

Love the triple tail shot !
I'm drooling a little too.... :tumble:
