I like today's set 😉

And actually generally speaking, I love that you rotate through your knives and use all of them

 

[qjlforever]

how many knives do you guys use daily

I use about 7-8 daily, but my position allows me to play around [emoji6]

thats pretty awesome, i bring the same roll to work and sometimes never even get to open it, those are always sad days.

It's a Dalman k-tip gyuto Mizu Honyaki

 

[dblnickels]

Boom.

 

[Matus]

This is where I am at the moment

I find that sometimes the Doi can be difficult to use without a handle

Is that to the left a doi?

 

[MastrAndre]

New week starting...

[Matus]

Is that to the left a doi?

Nope, that is a very special blade that I will be making a special handle for. It should then turn up on tbe BST eventually. For now it is a secret blade

come on... your such a tease

 

[Anton]

come on... your such a tease

Seriously

 

[Matus]

It is a BIG & HEAVY blade made by Pavel Bolf - probably not too well know here on KKF, but he is a highly regarded Katana smith from Czech Republic. He even makes his own Tamahagane. To get an idea on the size - it is next to 240 Munetoshi

 

[khashy]

He has done a great job. The profile and even the tang look just like the Doi gyuto

 

[valgard]

woah! big knife and very interesting project. Profile looks sweet too.

It is the geometry of the grind that makes this a very 'not a Doi' knife But all in due time - with better photos and matching handle

The queen has just left the house but what a set this has been. Really, Hoss's work is for me hard to compare and a baseline

 

[valgard]

Show off! all of you!
