Hooray! Did it just get bound up in the shipping ether for a while?


Love the handle.

Not sure. DHL said it was gone and to file a claim and Sunday USPS received it. DHL doesn't ship weekends so I don't know when USPS got it.

Glad you finally got it

New to me. I have to say I’m floored. Not sure why I waited this long to try western makers. Thanks to @WCV and @daveb ’s recommendation in the western makers recommendation thread, especially @daveb ’s strong statement about Hoss’ knives, I took the splurge and got this from one of the nicest people I met since I started in this hobby. I honestly don’t know why I would need another 240mm gyuto. My pictures don’t really do this knife justice.

Arrived today a 235 mm 52100 S Grind gyuto with Turkish Walnut handle from Lew Griffin… Beautiful work and I’m a sucker for S Grind.

Beautiful! I was eyeing those on carbon last week. How does it cut? I don’t know much about his work but the Irishman in me wants one.

 

[labor of love]

The Lew Griffin does look awesome. How’s the distal taper?

 

[Matt Jacobs]

Can confirm Lew Griffin's cut fantastic. He makes amazing S-grinds.

Nice haul!

Those little Eddworks gyutos keep catching my eye, the profile is just neat looking, especially with that handle. How flat is it on the board?

Attached a picture. I enjoy the it.

The one thing to note is I feel the handle can feel small for some depending on hand size (maybe) but for it it literally fits perfectly (but I prefer smaller sizes)

Put a side my side with my 130mm

 

[Uncle Danny]

Oh that’s a nice petty! I meant that in a good way. Looks really versatile

Cleaver just in time for ARM from @milangravier recent drop in 26c3 cladded in wrought. Approx 210x100, 415g. Craftsmanship on this is perfect. Lighting outside today is poor and doesn't do this blade justice.

Winner winner cleavers for dinner

 

[gaijin]

Whoops. A square wat appeared.

 

[ile74]

Masamoto KS 330 mm gyuto. You never know when you might need extra lenght. I was considering Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan 330 mm sujihiki for briskets and other large cooked meats, but this was more affordable. Thanks @blokey for pointing this out.

https://buyee.jp/mercari/item/m10086648036
Edge lenght 345 mm, width 58 mm, weight 276g. For comparison 50 cm Hasegawa cutting board.

Knife was unused, but there is weird grind polish on right side near heel. It is pronounced in the 3rd picture because of the protective oil. It was less pronounced after good wiping with acetone.

 

[Ikonaka]

Huge deal from @DanielC

Very nimble and a great weight despite it's nearly 270mm length and a fantastic cutter this far. The autohamon over wootz is just insane and I can't wait to see how the patina develops over the etch

 

[Desert Rat]

Forgive the off topic knife, but I thought you guys might understand. I always wanted to try one of these out and I didn't think it was a bad price on the auction site. It has features that I value, top of the blade has a swedge, sharpening nick in front of choil, twine wraps are very grippy,120mm carbon steel blade, about right size for me.

I think the maker is Takeshi Saji? I don't know what steel this one is I have seen them in blue 2, AS and white 2. Probably figure it out when I sharpen it.

 

[tostadas]

A pair of stainless cleavers from @Knot Handcrafted. My brother has been wanting to try a small cleaver, so these will be getting some custom shoes when I have time. Also my attempt at a double choil shot.

 

[blokey]

Not a dedicated kitchen knife, but more of an outdoor one, JE made Nessmuk 4, really nice fit and finish. Chen is from the same city as me, he does some of the nicest small batch production knives, tho mostly using more conventional materials, his heat treatment is top notch, done by him in shop in smaller batches, and pushed to a great balance for tougher use. This one is 14C28N tested at 59.5 HRC, still tough as a nail. He actually sent me an extra one for testing and pass around with no charge, I plan to just do it here, let me know if anyone’s interested in testing it, he would really appreciate more feedback. Since the extra one if free for me I intend to raffle it at the end
