Look, I spend like 72 hours a week between two kitchens with awful florescent lighting, and more time in my car commuting between them than the few hours I actually ever get at home. Don't judge

I've taken a few pictures inside the car. @captaincaed is a big fan of these kinds of pictures.

If you are asking need as on a necessary base, you are on the wrong forum, go for it

Haha, for sure. I'll start looking.

NKD. Sea Rose Knifeworks spicy white honyaki 235mm gyuto and a Munetoshi 170mm butchery knife. Thrilled with both of them.

Knife pic on the hood of a car. There should be a magazine dedicated to these

I remember those magazines.

@Blank Blades. CPM-4V 67 HRC 225x57mm Righty Hollow Hira (this is a mouthful) with its convex CPM-M4 Sister

AAANDDD the choil shot

Just did tomorrow's taco prep with it, but
Yes it cuts straight
Yes food release is killer
Yes it cuts large onions without wedging (although i'm told it wedges slightly on carrots)

it even has the single bevel heel grinding similar to high end deba's. I need better pictures but the F&F is out of this world. I was comparing this to my tadokoro deba and found many similarities to the traditional japanese crafts into this knife (i just noticed that my deba also has a hollow hira). Somhow this was adapted into a much more user friendly daily use form. Just thinking of the possibilities of this grind in a more laser form.....

Before sending, I did thin it more after that test. Mostly just lessened the convexity of the bevel a bit. After that it went through the carrots much smoother.

Will probably Crack a little on larger ones. And at the heel. But shouldn't any serious wedging.

It cut a onion the size of a grapefruit like nothing. The grind must have been finely tuned from a few tests. I can brush everything off of the knife with no stiction.

I was told "I think that's enough onions for tomorrow...." before I stopped prep

Dang... do I need a Toyama?!

the short answer is yes...

Dang... do I need a Toyama?!

The question is why do you even ask when you already know the answer?

These look very nice. Are they dead flat, and if so, did you specifically ask for that or do they rather come with a long flat spot?

 

[Zilberwong]

Do you have choil and spine pics? How’s the food release

Here’s choil and spine shots. About as lasery as lasery gets which may or may not be your cup of tea. As for food release and performance here a lil video:

 

[Yoshi]

How the heck?! Wow that food release on a laserest laser! Just how?! Wow I'm gonna get one now

Surface finish, Yoshikane is bit draggy with the whole sand blast thing

 

[Yoshi]

Okubo x2, need to find time to install the handles....... Or I can use them without handle right?

 

[daddy yo yo]

Here’s a little Yanick I added to my collection recently:
228 / 55 / 216g

Will add specs after work.

 

[captaincaed]

@daddy yo yo ironwood handle? Whatever it is, love the latte foam art wood grain. Very sweet.

No, it's Malaysian ebony. And I absolutely LOVE the handle wood, too, especially on the left hand side.

Lovely "little" knife! I do like the malaysian mono handle too, so clean!

Just a word of caution. I ended up chipping a Kato shaving hard cheese like that Parmasan. Would hate to see the same thing happen to your gorgeous Yannick.

The handle!

The handle!

EXACTLY!!!

Little compared to some knives he has I think

 

[SimenTh]

Little compared to some knives he has I think

I've been looking for a Yanick that size too. Nimble but not too small for daily prep!

 

[TeaThyme]

People are sleeping on those knives. Kobayashi‘s grind is one of if not the best convex grinds I‘ve tried from a Japanese maker. If only the Gyuto profile was better.

What a nice profile! is that one of his custom sized gyutos?

Defiantly nottt dead flat

Tried to get the profile more flat below

 

[Yoshi]

Love my parker asahi board, the only down side is being too small.

The prices in Japan was just too good to pass up, so I ended up with two lol

 

[Yoshi]

Do I need two funyaki? Probably not, but when it is only 6000 yen for one, and I get to dethrone @SwampDonkey to become the leader of the cult, it's a no brainer.

On the side note, our Saint is really damn consistent, can't really tell much difference apart with the two funyaki.

Now I'm ready for All Shindo September
