Drawman's Collection

Jon was willing to try his hand at tooling.

I thought Jon Wilson did a fine job. The rolls came out exactly as I had requested.

nice!

One more JAW roll with some Arnon Kartmazov knives

Really awesome rolls, love the matchig kanji!

The rolls are really great. It would be hard for me to go back to a roll, but those kinds make me want to.

I like the idea of several smaller kits, I would probably group by use. I do like having everything at work so I can have things on hand for when people don't show up and I suddenly really need that deba I thought I could leave at home.

Anyone actually seen a picture of Eric Ripert's Louis Vuitton knife luggage that (I think) the New Yorker wrote up a few years ago?

I'm a fan of Ripert. The article was amusing though the thought of losing one's knives to an airport inspection is unsettling. It sounds like gaining a fitted set of Vitton custom luggage was hardly the extent of his luck that evening.

Here is a Hinoura (Tsukasa) 210 Gyuto that I got from V1P on this forum.







It was interesting to see that the well rounded spine was not ground over the damascus iron wrap.
