Thought i'd post this here, my first foray into some Japanese knives of my own, starting with a Gyuto. Grew up with my dad having a small collection he brought back from some trips to Japan and was never allowed to touch them! Down the Rabbit Hole I go...

Details are
Tsunehisa AS Tsuchime Gyuto
240mm Double Bevel
Aogami Super/Stainless Clad
HRC 62
135mm Oval Morado Wood Handle
182 Grams

Fantastic knife to get started with and welcome.
 
I’ve been pretty busy lately. Buying, selling, trading. The KKF holy trinity of making your wallet sad basically.


With that being said I did end up with some beauties.

3. Bazes 240

This was was very special as I’ve been looking for one for quite some time. I’m sure some of you have seen me sniffing around KKF at the mere hint of a Bazes.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu…. that Bazes!
 
Lord forgive me for I have sinned, and purchase a knife under 1g/mm. I trust the performance will alleviate the guilt of the crime.

On the bright side Bidinger was great to purchase from, and the forced patina he stuck on the A2 really pops.

Handle is a bit too well polished for my taste (I am clumsy and like some grip), and it’s a very mazaki profile, but I think those are more quirks to love.
