Wow! Great photographs Dan, and an impressive collection.

The Dexter butcher knife and handle on the yanagiba are my two favorite things.

Thanks for sharing.

These are great. Good to see them again!


I love the Frost Chef.
Perhaps i'll speak with you about rehandling in the future!

Dan, I like the way the Frosts flex fillet looks as a wa. You have a nice collection there.

Great peppermills

I like the deba a lot!

Thanks guys!

That would sure take me more than "a few" hours to complete! The lack of a large/visible ferrule (outside of the small amount of aluminum) gives this a unique look. Well done.

Really nice. I like your tastes.

Nice! Can you tell us more about the doilies???? haha j/k

Could not resist, fantastic knife.



Kato Gyuto
Length: 240mm(230mm on the edge)
Steel: Unknown/secret
Handle: Snakewood, Elforyn

we know, they dont know... :angel2:

fantastic indeed.

I can see no stock handle will make it a long time

You have the basic handle or did you split it?

Yeah that's true.


No they don't tend to do that, i think this was some sort of record ~20days.

I wanted to save it, was really comfy but it was glued. (a quick visit to the vise made a nice little piece of firewood out of it. )

Hehe you are crazy :viking:

But this is very interesting looking Handle. What is elforyn? What is the consistence? Does it feel like plastic?

Is it your favourite knife now? Maksim ordered mine Im waiting now...

Ahhh, love your style and DIY skills!

Elforyn, I like it, easy to work with, hard and far away from plastic : http://elforyn.info/Materialen.htm

It's my favourite w/o a doubt, and every one who has handled it has had that strange smile on their faces during and after.

He told me you had one on order... but with a higher heel and longer?

Hey thanks I think I have to invest a little and buy a bit of that!

Yes I did, 27 cm :spiteful:

You know, I have this weak spot for high heels

So, basically all who tried that knife down in Helsingör eventually ends up with one?
That says somthing about it alright, I know I really like mine!

Great looking handle mate, and congrats to you too Mike

Hey, B, you dont know how its called?

Its the HYPE :rofl2:

Thanks, I cannot wait. Start to think what am I going to sell to make room.

Nice stuff you got there. I have this odd feeling that you like Itinomonns...

How do you think they compare to Kato and Shigefusa?

Dan that is one hell of a battle kit.

They tend to follow me home when I visit Maksim, a lot of bang for the buck compared to more expensive pieces they do the job and you won't baby them.
