Japanese Knives 300mm Yanagiba on a magnetic strip in zebra wood

Yowser. Are you playing with the knives, playing with the mag strip or just taunting the earth people? :cool2:

Wow.

Looks like someone is having fun taking pictures

i needed a break from e-mails... it feels like a never-ending battle. Every time my inbox drops below 100 e-mails, i get a huge influx that takes me back to about 200 or so. I've got about 50 e-mails in drafts at any given time. Photo taking is way better than that

I think you might call that a phalanx of yanagiba.

You really make me wish I needed a yanagi for my job...
Time to rewrite the menu ha

It's amazing to me how much I enjoy fine knives. I had no rush tonight and was making a Diane sauce for some fillets, and pulled out a petty I got from Jon to slice my garlic. I spent 15 minutes trying to slice up 4 cloves so thin I could see through them. My skill needs work, but darn does that knife cut well.

Several times I simply stopped and looked at that dead sexy lacquered handle.

I swear this hobby will be the death of me.
