Eat like a fatty February?

That Shigehiro old stock from carbon on bst a week ago had me nostalgic for the good ole days!

I say we all gotta weigh in. A gram per mm of edge length gets you in the door, traditional cleavers 2g/mm. Didn’t think the numbers through but it sounds chunky.

Gonna have to use a hatchet to peel your fruit.

That's true, but the rest of my dailies lean WH. Okubos, Munetoshi, Wat, Mazaki is a bit hybrid.

240-260+
56-60 high
280-350g

Everything else is just child’s play.

Prendergast too, the one I sold a bit ago was 185mm and ~205g. Fun little tank.

Few spineshots here, propably around 6mm out of the handle so nothing extreme but on the chonkier side still

Here’s a @MSicardCutlery workhorse. Very early work I believe. Literally every aspect of his work has improved since then. Still I think this basic workhorse was roughly $200 at the time? He made an exceptional asymmetrical lefty friendly workhorse for me that even though that gnarly choil shot is there, the grind thins towards the tip while still being capable of the toughest tasks I can throw at it. My most used knife…and also the cheapest gyuto in my roll.

Current condition. Steel is O1, totally bulletproof

Looks great

Yes

I have a blast from the past surprise I’m going to share shortly.

 

[SimenTh]

This is perfect, I've barely dipped my toes in wh-territory (maybe besides a Shihan) but I have a HVB 245 mono in 52100 clocking in at 318 grams so should fit the bill

 

[tostadas]

Once my new handles are done curing, I should have some fun ones to add to this

Quite the gang

 

[labor of love]

Here’s a workhorse made for me by Kippington. It was his first commissioned knife sale. He had been tinkering around for awhile and had been making a few things for himself but one day he posted something similar to this and I immediately pmed “OMG will you make me one please?”
Photos were taken late 2017 early 2018. Steel is W2, I don’t recall any real finish and the handle was a small step up from a broomstick but it really packed a punch for $150.

 

[labor of love]

A little while later I slid back into his PMs and asked him to make me the same thing but lighter this time, the proto workpony was born. Don’t quote me on any of this, I’ve dranken quite abit since 2018 so I could be missing a detail or 2. This one was still very cheap comparatively.

 

[Genghis_F]

Does qualify?

Short and thicc
