That Nenohi is sick!

 

[spoiledbroth]

icanhaschzbrgr that's an understatement... seriously the handle alone is out of this world.

DDDDDamn!

Nice, cool bit of tsuchime action going on. Is it one of the Takefu smiths? Anryu, Kato or Kurosaki?

... Overall length is 600mm (23.62").
Weight is 554g.

Handy for portioning giraffe.

Jokes aside, that might be the sickest thing I've seen. Seen some of Ikeda san's work at Bernal but this is at another level. Heirloom piece.

:shocked3: Now THAT'S a knife! :knife:

I'd hate to think what a lefty version would cost for someone like me.

Almost makes you think about learning to use the other hand huh? That is a sweet knife.

My recent addition to my humble Hinoura family arrived recently. Mutsumi Hinoura tsuchime 150mm wa-Petty:

Here it is next to the matching 240mm gyuto:

Got the petty from Tosho and the gyuto from Sam at buttermilk. Resisting the urge to get the 270 Suji from Tosho.

Like father, like son:

All three will be getting custom handles by Stefan Keller in due course :knife:

Ya man, most single bevels are out of the question and then there's asymmetry. I use right handed scissors and computer mouse (just feels wrong using my left hand), but why I cut wrong handed is something I wish could be changed sometimes. Helps resist temptation though

Easy peasy, buy a knife like this and you'll have incentive to learn...then by golly you'll be ambi and the whole cutlery world is your oyster! My work is done here.

It is definitely not your fault~ It just took a bit longer in Canada customs.

By the way the knife is so beautiful

Although I must say… that yo handled Suji kinda looks outta place, maybe you should sell it to mikedtran

I really hope that I have a 270mm kitaeji wa suji instead, but kitaeji suji is just too rare, so....you know....can't complain:cool2:

Yeah, the shig addiction is unreal

Heck, I got wood. I'm so jealous. That is such a cool knife. Dibs if you decide to sell it.

Sorry but that joke wasn't very funny, I don't think you'd cut it as a comedian :groucho:

Seriously though what the hell do you do to buy all these shigs? I think I'm in the wrong line of work

I know that the bay area is in another world, but your listing of San Diego is not exactly cheap. Still my favorite city though.

Ended up going G Ginga 210 for new stainless laser. I love my 240 carbon but I'm downsizing and going stainless at the moment, due to space & time restraints. This is a wicked little knife. Like the profile, crazy thin (duh). Impeccable fit and finish. Balance point is a touch farther back than I was looking for but it's rather light. Height seems okay so far - but definitely would not recommend for someone with large hands.

Excited to get to know the fabled swedish stainless. And a pleasure to buy from JKI as always.

Recently received my Nakiri from Mert, the 270 feather was received late last year and has been posted previously.
The handles are musk ox ferrule and end caps, dyed mammoth tooth and box elder burl with copper spacers.
The Nakiri is 236 from handle to end of the blade, the cutting length is 220, to the top of the curve, about 200ish to the start of the blade.
The knife is 65 tall.

With a 165 nakiri for comparison.

 

[wellminded1]

this speaks for itself I think. Possibly the closest thing to perfection I ever held. 270 Suji billipp.

 

[jimbob]

umm more photos asap!

View attachment 31307 this speaks for itself I think. Possibly the closest thing to perfection I ever held. 270 Suji billipp.

Nice to see some of the awesomeness up here in Canada :doublethumbsup:

Hi,

had it for 2-3 weeks now but it's still my newest knife buy. So... got an awesome 240 W2 Honyaki Standard grind Gyuto vom Cris Anderson (CJA Edged Art). Was lucky and had the chance to pick up a stock Gyuto from him. It was quite a spontanious decision, but I don't regret it... it's just a great cutter and just beautiful :O

Some pictures:

















Handle is stab. bog oak with nickel silver and nickel-copper-mokume spacer

Very comfortable in pinch grip and quite light and agile. Steel takes a great edge and holds it very well... even Food release is quite decent for such a laser-like knife. Highly recommended!!! :knife:

Also Cris is just a great guy to talk to and a real knife nerd, great customer service!
