I’m making this an annual tradition haha.
We had a 2018 thread, and a 2019 thread
https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/2019-bucket-list.39792/
Now it’s time for a 2020 thread.
In years past we’ve discussed where our collection has gotten us and what we’re looking at for the near future.
Around this time last year I was dipping my toe in the western stainless steel world. I walked away with very positive impressions from Takamura HSPS pro, Blazen and Yoshikane SLD Damascus.
Ive returned to the carbon world though.
My newest purchase is a Watanabe 270mm Sujihiki and I’m quite happy with it. By the end of 2020 I’d like to get Shigehiro and Heiji sujis to accompany it.
For gyuto I have a custom from the 9 and a Heiji carbon that should be very close to completion any day now. Catcheside should be ready late February and I’ll squeeze in a TF Maboroshi in there somewhere.After TF I really would like another Shihan. He’s stepped up his game with forging and his new stuff supposedly has better distal taper. And his new handles look great.
Guys like Kippington and Isasmedjan are on my mind. Antzenberger too.
Kagekiyo looks like a winner to me, I definitely want a top shelf thin knife soon. Maybe Tanaka.
What are you guys looking at this year?
