Sorry for the crappy iPad picture. My new Munetoshi Kurouchi Gyuto 240mm from JNS

 

[aboynamedsuita]

Speaking of dark wood handle, I also have one coming in a week or two which I'm very excited for.

Cool you got one! I almost would've thought schanop would have gotten the ringed gidgee… would be fitting for an Australian wood on the national knife of Australia :groucho:

 

[Dardeau]

Schanop's kitaeji cleaver may actually be the national knife of Australia.

I really like the profile on that...what is the heel height? Any chance of a choil shot?

Cheers

I got ring gidgee from Dan before in my petty, so I went with lighter, redder cocobolo for my Chuka.

The heel height on mine is exactly 50 mm. And here an attempt at a choil shot - it's not stellar, but I hope it gives you an idea. So far (one week) I really like the knife. Maksim says to expect zero fit and finish, but I would rather say that it has a rough finish. The kurouchi is the best looking I've ever seen (but then again, I haven't really seen that many)

Not the newest per se, but a favorite for sure!

Very nice catch there, miyabi! Do you mind telling me who the maker is and specs of knife.

210 Kono White #1

 

[daveb]

Quit spending money on knives until you can get some britches. :whistling:

 

[fujiyama]

Thanks brother! The steel is Blue #1 but Mucho got it, 210mm Konosuke Fujiyama. 47mm at the heel. It's a ziricote handle.

:lol2:

 

[V1P]

Very nice knife, I miss my Kono honyaki.

Nice! Ive been looking for a B1 fuji forever!

 

[Mucho Bocho]

I have the 210 in Ginsan. Lovely grinds, nice taper and awesome HT. Honyaki way to go miyabi!

 

[Godslayer]

Not the newest per se, but a favorite for sure!

I want a konosuke, Really nice blade btw, super jealous, not sure why ive never pulled the trigger on one.

 

[Hianyiaw]

Still missing a yanagiba which I left at home and an upcoming suji plus still on the hunt for a deba. But that's the acquisitions for the past 3-4 months or so.

[mikedtran]

Nice haul!

Where is that Kato Gyuto from? The handle looks like it came from old stock

 

[Hianyiaw]

I bought it off from another member brand new which he got from Tosho if I'm not wrong. But yes I do agree it's very different from the ones seen coming from JNS.

looking good there!

 

[fujiyama]

Pull it godslayer! This is one knife I never had buyer's remorse for. Kono makes a good product. I want to try a honyaki; keeping the polish clean would be my only annoyance. It's hard to find the right knives so I'm putting off new purchases for a bit. Not easy to save for everything else when you frequent this forum. :O

Nice collection Hianyiaw!

 

[V1P]

Yeah, bad ass collection there Hianyiaw! You are in Singapore, are you? I used to study there from 92-97, great country.

Yeah I am. Security wise yea it's great and all but many things has changed since the time you visited and now I guess life here is just not that great anymore.

 

[V1P]

I actually know what you meant, I was just there for 2 days in April and noticed the changes. Still, I pretty much spent my teenage years there, lots of good memories.

 

[Hianyiaw]

Yea the old days were good and had a much more relaxed pace. Now it's just "work work work work work"

 

[ryanjams]

Got my Yamawaku 210 gyuto in today, I have no doubt this guy will prove to be a beast for the money. A rehandle will come shortly, but I'm already stoked to put it to the stones and get this thing on line tomorrow.

 

[brianh]

Wow. Looks like my Kochi.

 

[ryanjams]

Wow. Looks like my Kochi.

:wink: I thought so too, I have a stainless clad Kochi that is my favorite cutter, so these caught my eye as a cheaper alternative to have on the busy line. Also stoked to try out the V2. We'll see how it fares!

 

[mikedtran]

I absolutely love my Wakui/Yamawaku.
