Hi everyone, It’s been quite a while since I’ve participated on kitchen knife forums. I recently found a knife which was made by a Knife Forums/ITK member about eight years ago which I've had in storage. Its handle is made from redwood burl with either a tooth or horn ferrule. Unfortunately...

Beautiful knife. Wish I'd seen this before it sold. Congrats to the new owner.

Coolest Damascus chefs knife I've ever seen. Excellent work.

Not trying to make myself out to be a big shot or anything, I am lucky. My uncle was his client and an old friend for years before me, and he got me on the client list. As usual, it's about who you know, not what you know!

Got it, thanks for the info! I am purposefully not researching this too much because I don't want to be pulled into a new obsession. Looking around it seems like your $1100+ estimate for a new Zowada damascus seems actually quite low. I've sent a PT to the seller of the one you linked to with a...

Very nice looking. After I hear some more recommendations I might pull the trigger on that Zowada. In the sale ad it says that the current owner honed it from a double bevel to a single bevel. Is this something I should be concerned about?

He uses a straight razor for customers, but his list of customers has been private and closed for many years. The chief of police of one of the local towns here is one of his clients. I doubt he's going to jail any time soon for using his razor professionally. Thanks for the recommendation...

Thanks. I realize I may be looking at some serious cash for a good razor. I wouldn't be considering DT damascus if I wasn't serious! After I get an idea of what you guys would recommend, I'll decide what I'm willing/able to spend and go from there.

I have a barber I've been going to for almost ten years now. He's a great guy, very traditional barber. If any of you have a great barber, you'll appreciate how much of a friend a good barber can become. He uses a straight razor, and I haven't gotten a good look at it, but I believe the one...

If I could only keep one it would be my 230mm Bob Kramer 52100 custom, just because of how long I waited for it, its resale value, and the difficulty I would have replacing it... oh yeah and also it's a real bad-ass knife!!! :biggrin: But honestly my first full custom that I ever ordered is...

For me my preferred length depends on the profile, weight, and overall feel of the knife. My two go-to knives are my 230mm Carter IP gyuto and my DT mid tech "270", actual edge length 260mm. Both feel great, and even though one is obviously quite a bit longer than the other, I use them...

Hi Dave, I'm in! Thanks for making this place and thanks to everyone here for the great community and culture that has been built here.

Great board... I have to post some photos of mine some time!

Blonde on blonde :thumbsup:

Tomatin 18 year single malt scotch for me tonight... very good value 18 year...

I'm in... love your knives, hopefully I'll own one some day. Happy holidays!

I dig it!

Two of the nicest knives ever made... nuff said.

Hey Adam, this might sound weird and cheesy coming from a infrequent poster, but I'm real glad to see you here. I hope that everyone can let go of the old grudges and move on. Too many communities - whether it's online communities, families, neighborhoods, or nations - allow themselves to...

Welcome from another bay area kid! South Bay, here. This is a real nice place, you'll like i!
