1.Santuko 180mm Stainless with Swedish Stainless Core 2.Deba
9" Gyuto with Stainless Damascus and VG 10 Core, purchased at AG Russell Knife Show, my first Japanese Knife.
•I have a collection of Damascus and Wootz antique daggers made in Persia, India, Turkey, the Caucasus etc. Many have grips made of Walrus Ivory and are really objects of beauty with engraving. I never sharpen or use these antiques.
* Various French and German Chef Knives and paring knives and a variety of Factory boning knives made of cheap stainless that were machine sharpened by previous owners.
* Handmade hunting knives in both O2 and D2 with various types of natural and micarta handles. Also, the usual EDC knives made of mostly 1095, ZDP-189, W2 and other steels. I try to avoid Chinese knives.
Sharpening Gear - Shapton, Chosera and King Stones from 500 up to 6000 grit. Course, Medium and Fine Diamond Stones and Spyderco Ceramic Med. & Fine Stones. Varioius leather stops with black and green chromium oxide and looking to get some .25 or less diamond sprays.
