Ah great thanks for your thoughts. Regarding the wide bevel, I kind of expected this since word on the boards is they're made by the same crew as konosuke Fujiyama unless I am mixing things up. Hope it serves you well!

Opening new place, will be doing mostly expo/finishing plates in a tight space, needed some new smaller pieces to team up with 210s,shorter sujis/yanagis

- 180 Tesshu Petty
- 150 Watanabe (Pretty much a mini gyuto, sick finish on it)
- 150 Uraku White 2 Petty (Nice little blade for the price)

I love the tenugui from Watanabe. It's the little things.

Looks like an awesome little trio.

Picked up this 240 Ichimonji from the sale section. Great knife, with nice grind. My first knife with blue steel, so I am eager to try it out. It performed quite well on all the produce pictured, and gets very sharp. I really like stainless clad carbon knives, now my second with my 165 Yuki Bunka. This one is the heaviest of the knives I currently own, which I like. My Kotetsu R2 laser Gyuto is very light, and doesn't have much spine to grab on to. I may start favoring knives wit more geometry and weight, or maybe I just need to try out a western handled laser, as the Wa handle laser almost feels flimsy due to thin spine.


Sorry for the mini review, back to the photos of pretty knives.

That knife in the beginning was mine, I sold it to buy the version with ebony handle and sadly was sold out.

Holy Shiatsu that Damascus is insane.

One would think actually those knives are more often clad for the sake of maintenance ie sharpening which in the case of a pm steel I would assume would be more of a boon than a bane

Not sure really regarding the cladding in terms of blade design ... Ultimately whether you sharpen the primary steel (core) in a clad or solid configuration you are still sharpening the core steel regardless of the through thickness but thinner may be more user friendly TBD. I just like to look at it as my own "ZDP-189 Honyaki" silly but hey what else are we doing around here but trying to see what is out there that is bloody sharp, pretty &/or what not ... anyway back to other knife porn ...

Stunning! Really out of this world / thanks so much for sharing these!

interesting damascus for sure. also interesting profile. I wonder if its the pattern playing some tricks on my eyes but this chef knife has a re-curve edge profile..

Yep looks recurve. I am sure there's a culinary knife tradition that can make use of it somewhere, but it looks more like the function was an afterthought.

It looks like sabatier yatagan slicer that was inspired by Turkish short swords with a recurved edge

Damm you berko 😣😣😣😣😣😣

You have any pics of unsharpened sab yataghans? I only saw a few pics and there was no recurve, the spine profile was more of a clip rather than a drop, the height was less, and the tip was much higher.

 

[bonestter]

Brand new

 

[lifeis11]

nice. pins look pretty flush to me....or was the criticism that the handle tends to shrink over time?

in any case, I have been tempted to pick up one of these multiple times. kudos.

 

[fujiyama]

Nice Kramer! What length is she? I want to get my hands on a 10".

interesting damascus for sure. also interesting profile. I wonder if its the pattern playing some tricks on my eyes but this chef knife has a re-curve edge profile..

I noticed the same thing. I didn't mention it because it's labeled "Persian" chef's knife, and frankly, I know nothing about Persian knives. Looks more suited for slicing, but I tend to agree, it's wasn't made to be functional.

 

[lifeis11]

I want to get my hands on a 10".

my thoughts exactly :hungry:

 

[bonestter]

Thanks

She's an 8" carbon

Here's my 10" stainless alongside the Kono HD2

And why not throw in the Meiji while we're on

Good scores! I also have a kitaeji and Kikuryu coming my way shortly

Nice! I really like the kikuryu. What kind of 240 kato gyuto did Maksim have available today? I managed to snag the yanagiba though.

It was the Kikuryu which I got
I'm keen to see what the J-nat finish makes it look like. My Damascus Kato appears to be etched, which also crosses the lamination like from the cladding to the core steel. Some Kikuryu pics appear to be the same, so this will be interesting...

I was thinking on that yanagiba too, however I couldn't spend that much money on a kasumi. I was also hoping the kitaeji cleaver would be up for sale, too bad that isn't the case...

Should have held out my Kitaeji to get you on a trade hahahah =p

 

[jackslimpson]

Takeo Murata, wide petty. Kurouchi finish san mai with an aogami 1 carbon steel core, Rc 64. From Epic Edge. And, that saya was modified by those wonderful people at EE to fit such a small santoku -- for what appears to be only a nominal fee. The grind is great; it's a well made little knife.



I got this for a bartender friend of mine who had been using the chefs small garlic and herb knife from Japan Woodorker. But, she wanted one of her own. She'll be using it to cut limes, lemons, etc.

Cheers,

Jackslimpson
