How thick is the spine?

Don’t have tape measurement on hand, but I’d say 4-5mm at the handle

W2 honyaki from Rob Trimarchi of The 9. I made a chimichuri inspired herb salsa with it and it flew threw everything. A true laser in every sense with a little flex.

A 230x56, full tang, damascus clad over 1.2562 gyuto by Merion forge. Will take some time to get to me. Can't wait!!

 

[FishmanDE]

Finally got a Catch. Hopefully will be in my hands soon!

 

[mockit]

@ahhactive definitely one of my favorites from him that I’ve seen. Nice catch . Love the profile.

Newest addition is the Yoshi Tsuchime (bottom) Sitting with the rest of the Yoshi family. Having 100s of knives over the years, for me little out performs a good Yoshikane.

Replacing a stolen Tojiro 190 mm deba with this: Goh Umanosuke Yoshiro Aogasumi B2HC-M Blue 2 Steel 195 mm w/ Magnolia Wood Handle.
Good for fileting some nice 33" SF Bay halibuts.View attachment 242838View attachment 242839View attachment 242840

Just noticed an engraved line perpendicular to the column of characters. Is this part of the character string, or did the engraver slip? If it's the latter, then it's a defect in the finish. Anyone else know for sure? Maybe I'm being too anal.

It's part of the kanji '造'.

Kanji looks the same on the Yanagi’s in this line. So my initial assumption is its fine

Unless I misunderstood this. Which line are you talking about?

The kanji has the same line in a few of these - stock photo from hocho knife

Thanks, you guys. I've never seen that. Still a gremmie.

Whatever the line is, IMHO it detracts from the Kanji. I suspect that the Kanji is CNC generated, and it didn't terminate properly at the end of the engraving sequence.
Whatever, it doesn't affect the cutting. I think it's a blemish.

What does it mean? I don't think it's a symbol for anything. Termination?

Just got a reply from Hocho/Yoshihiro. The line is part of the Kanji. Trying to find out what it means. Don't read characters in any language.

There are 7 characters, 郷右馬允義弘造, the line is part of the last character, which means made by what's before that character. The first 6 characters is the name of the brand.

Nice. I’ve been eyeing one of those.

New @Illyria short suji.
52100 w wrought.

This is an instant keeper for me.
Love the aesthetics and the weight/balance is perfect to me.

Managed to get it thanks to good friend

Finally got me one of those fixed blade higo to cut stuff in the shop. Beast mode for cardboard trimming, and I’m a sucker for small iron clad blades.

Good thing I have small hands.

@Byphy Glad that RDG went to a good home. I was eyeing the sh*t out of that one myself. I am intrigued by the line knife idea. A pro chef can chime in, but I imagine it is pretty awesome for all things not chopping veg? Portioning proteins and garnish? It seems like it would complement a 240-270 gyuto or a 180 nakiri really well. Ryan was the first person I saw use the name, but I have now seen it in a few other places. Are they common in fancy kitchens?

For me it was awesome bc it was convenient to use during service in a tight space. But then I just started to prefer the profile, so thats what I use at home the most
