Since these have been modified, additional pics:

Mabs:

Didn't round anything, choil and spine were already eased some OOTB, so just smoothed their work at each step of the process into this. Feels great, and that spine still scrapes a board or tap eject garlic cloves like a king.

Profile flattened some through my work, but we're nowhere getting through the upsweep yet.

By the time it sells, it will have some patina on the core. Used it tonight already.

Handle and bolster had some work too, feels real smooth despite all the OOTB quirks.



Kono HD2:

Full kasumi is a work in progress but quite nice - still I'm making a nicer price than I should. Some patina.

Not crazy thin, pretty much how I got it. Since it cut well from the start, I just did some maintenance thinning preserving convexity.

Kono's ho handle is best in class. I've never seen another one that can take crap and come out nice like this one.

Where's the current balance of the Maboroshi?

 

[ModRQC]

A few mm forward the finger notch.

Is any of the original TF feel preserved or is the grind and profile modified beyond recognition?

 

[ModRQC]

Original feel? Yeah I miss it sometimes… wedgy squeaky ill-formed lowish wide bevel that’s never the same from Mabs to Mabs, who wouldn’t.

It feels like a Mabs that cuts better.

Takamura Sold.

Special weekend deal for Mabs + Konosuke together: 10% off.

Bump - Mabs and Kono still up. Same offer still applies this weekend.

Withdrawing for now. It so happens that I got a few too much knives the past weeks and I need to reassess the situation when I'll have worked some more with all. See you soon!
