Hello fellow knife nerds,
Was there a knife you saw and for whatever reason didn't pull the trigger? For me, it will be the white aramith gyuto 240mm kamon on eating tools. I randomly went on the site and saw it but thought it was too expensive ( $1750 if I remember correctly). With how...
Hello everyone! I have a 220mm honyaki that I got directly from Joel. I used it two times for dinner so there is patina but never sharpened or stropped. I put camellia oil on the blade and Kogatana and haven't used it since. It comes with a saya and a Kogatana,
Length is 220mm, height is 50mm...
Can we take a moment to discuss this amazing knife maker. In my opinion, he is the most exciting and progressive knife maker currently. It seems he levels up every time he posts on Instagram and his work gets better each time. Have a look at his last three posts and you could tell this man is...
I went over my monthly budget so here is a rock for sale.
I bought this from a forum member, nutmeg, a couple of years ago so the stone is high-quality. I'm still a novice when it comes to using natural stones so ill repeat what Nutmeg wrote about this stone.
"I've had more than 600 Jnats and...

I have two special knives coming in the mail soon so it's time to make some space. Here is a Lil Nakiri that I bought directly from his website. I used it once to make dinner; some beautiful patina is developing and never sharpen or stropped. The steel is 1095/15n20 dammy. Trying to get back...
I'm the original owner of this Takeda Stainless Clad Sasanoha. I bought this knife from CKTG back in 2017. It has been used in the home setting and a couple of years ago I sent it to KasmuiKev to get a kasumi finished. There are scratches but it has no effect on the performance, only cosmetic...
If you were able to get a custom knife from any of the top knife makers (i.e. Kamon, Yanick, isasmedijan, joel black, The9, Mialan, etc) what kind of knife would you ask for?
What will be the shape, dimension, weight, and finish would you go for?
This is a hsc3 bunka I got back in 2018. Its a great knife with a nimble and aggressive tip. I had it thinned by HSC back in 2020 and since then I only stropped it. The handle is custom-made by nicestslice and top fit/finish. Asking $350 including shipping within CONUS.
Weight:155g

Used in the home kitchen with great care. I hand-washed it after every use and sharpened it with Shapton Pro stones so there are some scratches near the edge but the geometry of the blade is the same. The steel can take quite a nasty edge and keeps it for a long time. Comes with the original...
So I have a Saji R2 damascus with the Wa handle and was wondering If I have something special. It looks like Saji typically makes his knives with ironwood and when I do find one with the Japanese style handle it is always sold out.
Hello everyone, like the rest of you I have a lot of free time lately due to the shelter in place so I figure now its the best time to buy a JNS however since I'm new I would love if you more knowledgeable folks can help me out. A little bit of info, I have the Shapton pro series, 320x, 1000x...
I hope everyone being healthy and safe during these crazy times. Just like the rest of you I love kitchen knives and learning more about them. For me, I see handmade knives as functional pieces of art. Some of my favorite knifemakers are Oatley knives, Halcyon Forge, Dmitriy Popov of DP custom...
