Daily Knife Pics. Any Knife. Join In!

Yesterday’s knife madness: we were a group of 9 knife enthusiasts (among them 3 makers) gathering, discussing, cutting, eating and enjoying a beautiful day in my step parents‘ garden, short-term shelter for 121 knives (+2 prototypes):

@KAMON Knives , @martinhuber , @JayS20 , @KDSDeluxe , @mack

Among the knives were 26 knives (+1 spoon) from @KAMON Knives. And no, they were NOT all from my personal collection - neither the Kamon knives not the 121 (+2) in total…

When looking at the board I bought only a few days before our knife gathering, I am really happy I didn’t bring my good one. Holy mother of weapons of mass destruction, what did you guys do with that board????

My knives are generally too dull and thick behind the edge to use, so I'm innocent .

These are the same people who say you can't rock chop a J-Knife.

Sigh. You can sell me one if it’s feeling a bit much.

He’s passed along probably twice that amount already!

 

[Heckel7302]

Really hoping this is a one in, one out type of situation.

If only I could justify keeping them all. I’m grateful for all the knives I’ve gotten to use but it’s also cool to see other’s collection expand. Sometimes that particular knife is a much better fit for them.

I am pretty sure I haven’t posted this pic yet:

What ****ing Goodwills are you going to?

Just wait till he starts restoring and flipping them for $5

I wasn't wholly satisfied with my first attempt at depicting the splendor of this Devin Thomas bubblewrap, so I tried again. I think I'm headed in the right direction. Still gonna tinker. Capturing the beauty of damascus across the whole blade, no matter the knife, can be challenging. I think next I'm gonna play with long exposures and "painting" the knife with a spotlight.

Looking good! Both, the knife and the pic.

Fire, stone, steel and plant. Life is good. Mostly sober is also good when playing with oil and sharp things

Precisely that, and a KU finish to boot

The Bear Season 2 and knife skills tonight. Working on that Kato brunoise.

Fine work on a WH. Knife needed just a bit of work on a strop out of the box and then . Love the in hand feel. A little different cutting experience than other knives I have but not a bad thing. I’d say that big convex grind is just not as precise. If I was going to go over to my family’s house and prep a meal for 8 I’m pretty sure it’s what I’d take with me though. Back to it !

Yesterday I fully emerged from my lonely COVID quarantine (I managed to dodge it for 3 1/2 years, but my luck finally ran out!). My 12 year old saw me making slaw in the kitchen today and commented, "look, a daddy in his natural habitat again!"

This Toyoma 210mm nakiri is pretty new. I had my eye on it for a long time but hesitated, thinking maybe that was too long for a nakiri. Well it is a beast, but it is not too long, I love it!

Rehandling time! Thank you @JoBone for the handle. Kikuchiyo x Izo Ginsan 240mm with Masur Birch and Tasmanian Blackwood, Acrylester, Bronze and G10 spacer.
