Damn, Huw!!! DAMN!

You know I gotta ask....which is the favorite?

 

[kevpenbanc]

Ooooh Errrrrrrrr.
Nice !!

 

[schanop]

Do I need to book a ticket to see the rest?


Oh .. I have already book for a meal in three weeks. Seeing these knives would be either a great appetiser or a great desert :hungry:

 

[Jagjit]

Very nice. All pretty much the same size. ~240?

 

[Micioarch]

Amazing collection . Which one do you prefer and why, if there is a specific reason.

 

[CB1968]

And that's only the knives he still has, Huw you need to do a knives I used to have but have sold blog!

 

[rami_m]

Mate. The above are only the tip of the iceberg. I hope Chanop is smarter than I am and takes a few photos.

I don't have a favourite, I use them all, the fact that they have stayed when so many have gone puts them in a pretty elite category.

 

[CB1968]

Love the Yo-Shig, might have to get one of those one of these days!!

 

[mark76]

Very very nice!

Ok, you don't have a favourite. Which one do you use the most. (We want to know anyway .)

 

[schanop]

Love the Yo-Shig, might have to get one of those one of these days!!

Didn't you sell a Yo kitaeji just a few months back?

 

[Dave Martell]

What a great thing to see all these gyutos lined up like this. I really love the side by side comparison of lengths and profiles seen. Thanks for sharing this Huw.

 

[CoqaVin]

that DT is off the charts cool!

 

[Mucho Bocho]

Huw, this is quite a study in knife handle designs. Curious how much they influence your choice when approaching a kitchen task?

Beautiful line up BTW. I'm with you Gyuto's rule!

 

[apicius9]

Aahh, you've seen one, you've seen them all.... Just kidding, of course, it's the envy making me do it I agree, great selection and great to see them next to each other just to compare profiles. Almost sticky-worthy just for that.

I lost track of the knives I've exchanged with Huw - he's a bad influence

 

[milesonend]

thats a good group

 

[Sambal]

For me, having met you and eaten at your restaurant Zanzibar, what's even more wonderful about your knives Huw is that they're not just a beautiful collection. Far from bling it's great what you do with them in your food prep and chef wizardry!

As some others have mentioned I too would love to hear a bit of your personal appraisal on which ones do what best.

 

[Keith Sinclair]

What a lineup :shots:

 

[Don Nguyen]

The DT and new Catcheside look pretty awesome...

 

[cheflarge]

WOW!!!!........... GULP!

I'm proud to own a couple of his "culls".

 

[jgraeff]

That catchside looks great! Can you tell me about edge retention, steel etc

What would you compare it to?

[mc2442]

Awesome....drool worthy even!

 

[cheflarge]

Holy rat farts!!! 😎 BAK!!!

 

[Von blewitt]

Yoshiaki fujiwara "Workhorse" 240mm Gyuto
I picked this up 4th hand, it needed quite a bit of thinning. Luckily we've had some late finishing Christmas parties the last couple of weeks, which gave me plenty of spare time in the kitchen.

The only knife I've sold over the last couple years that I truly regret letting go of...
