My son, may all the strength of the lord above be on your side as you move those mountainsq

Already have had some practice on big bro : ) Even TF steel bows to the debado 200.

Join me on my journey of turning a small santoku into a smaller nakiri. Work is very busy and I’m having a blast playing with new toys. Idk what it is about this handle but it feels great. I’d love a paring knife with this handle as it feels so natural in the grip. Sick patina too

This looks amazing. Really digging this knife. Where is the balance on it and what are the specs?

The balance point is slightly forward of the heel, perfect for a western handle, 295g, 255 x around 50mm, the profile is from Misono gyuto

That handle is seriously beautiful. I mean the entire knife is rad but that handle is very next level

@Blank Blades. makes some killer Micarta handles, both in Wa and Yo, I can see his stuff get insanely popular

You found one! Congrats.

I would also like to see a tip graveyard, kind of like something Sid from Toy Story would do

See? I’m not exaggerating about the TF grind marks
Pre patina on the Kramer Z

Takada no hamono 240mm ginsan suiboku

 

[flow_the_pro]

Raquin, 260x58, 125SC, satin finish.
Not my ideal choice of specs but was happy to get one and try his work!
Cuts better than i first thought and somehow feels very nice in hand!
Maybe i have to switch all my 240ies in 270, really like the length. Already working on giving it my own Kasumi finish!

 

[gmorris]

Msicard 195mm gyoto apex ultra, low carbon cladding. Bit of patina starting.

God I thought it would take me years to find and buy this.

Thank you to the enablers for this.

ASP2053, ~ C: 2.5%, V: 8%, T: 4%

Dat Choil tho!

Btw, how thick and tall the blade above the heel?

 

[Transmaster]

Here is the OKC Outdoor Fish and Game knife. This is OKC's version of the Kephart camp knife which they have made since 1920.
The blade on this knife is very crude, but the knife cost $32 USD, so it is not that much of a surprise. Easily fixed by my Shaptons.

[refcast]

Friodur petty with tapered tang, pinned scales and narrow heel guard

161 edge
25mm tall
2mm to 1.1mm halfway to 0.7mm 1cm from tip
62g

Good steel. On the coarser side of things, but takes an aggressive edge from 3k diamond. Not high alloy aggressive, but that stainless chromium aggression. Softer steel but not too gummy, more well balanced goodish coarse steel. Somewhat resembles skd? If I had to guess feels maybe 57-58 hrc.Very thin and floppy knife. Tang is rusted somehow despite being a stainless steel. Not a bad knife, wouldn't mind using this as a regular knife compared to j knives. Cuts through potatoes well

 

[refcast]

Masakane (?) Yanagiba
The Kane in a circle ive only seen on masakane knives, I would swear it was trademarked back then ..

220mm edge
23mm tall
5mm handle, 3mm halfway, 2mm shinogi at tip
132 g
No machi
Recurves and low spots and wavy shinogi and pitting

Steel is awesome, not masakane like at all
A lot like the super hard steel Sakai vintage blacksmith I've sharpened but finer stickiness into hair. Maybe white 1? Competitive with unshu yukimitsu. Yukimitsu is more buttery and springy. This one abrades like Play-Doh kinda . . . I guess finer particle feel? Doesn't feel quite like swedish steels I've tried. Not Sakai made, the sharpening is too different.

I’m actually on some copium. First time knowingly buying a right handed knife. Y’all have so much more fun stuff available to you, looking at you single bevels .

Although the fullers are on the right face, I thought maybe the convexity would be even. It seems to be ever-so-slightly more acute/less pronounced on the left/flat side without the fullers. Can definitely be used by either hand but I probably will trade/pass this one along.

But mannnnn the handle and tang junction are so nice on any Bidinger I’ve held. Luxury sports car comes to mind.

Bro. I know…. Ugh. I shattered my phone lens 2 or 3 times and it hasn’t been right ever since. No idea how I keep breaking it.
