He even calls it the rectangle. When I ask him which knife he wanna use, "you want the triangle or the rectangle?"Love it! Tell kiddo the Rectanglers say hello.

Other Daovua Tall Nakiri 52100 (KU finish) - This was touted as the most current generation so maybe it's an upgrade. Dunno yet, literally just got it. Stay tuned. From our friends at @TokushuKnife
Heard, chef!I love my Shibazi, but I wouldn't want to use one for extended periods of time without at least easing the spine and choil.
I wish @Xenif was still around these parts. He’s got some goods, as well.
I hope all is well with his familyHe just posted on Instagram for the first time in ages.
I’ve never cut up a watermelon with a cleaver before… I usually reach for a 270 gyuto or larger. I have to say it was a lot more fun than I expected

Had to take a quick pic of my bacon this morning… it’s homemade with no nitrites or nitrates, and I’m very pleased with how pink this batch is. I could care less at the end of the day, but most of my bacon does have that gray tinge, but this batch I think anyone would be hard pressed to tell it was cured without that stuff.
I absolutely kid you not, I just got an email with an actual picture and price from Michael/KJ of a nakiri I'd asked about having made probably eight or so months back. He'd pinged me once and thought the smith would have something in November but it didn't come to pass. Not a peep since and here we are, on the first day of ARM and bam! Picture proof and a price!
The power of the rectangle.
Nothing fancy but this smith's 165 occupies my most used slot to date so getting it in a 180 is exciting. I believe Michael has a 180 santoku as well but will need to clarify.
More to follow...
First use in March
