Hatsukokoro Kurosagi 180
My big knife rack in the kitchen is stuffed full so I'm testing these cheap single block magnets to build a knife wall in my office. Window light has my blue #2 looking like a damn lightsaber, completely unedited.

Agree - these are so nice! Picked up a 240 a few months back and it’s in frequent rotation. Also 1095.
Been putting the new Knot Handcrafted nakiri through the paces this weekend. It culminated in what is a tall order for many knives, squash.

Except for quick jobs I realized I've neglected my Tetsujin Tanryusen Gyuto 210mm, so I decided it would be dedicated to veg prep tonight for jambalaya. I should use it more, it is delightful.
Mommy, is having so many nice knives that sometimes some get neglected what people call "first world problems?"

New addition:
Urgently need to round spine and choil, as these are sharper than my MIL‘s knives…

Two tastes of Moritaka KU. Gyuto is new, Nakiri has been washed once.
I'm joking, it's not that bad. Got the Nakiri in 2018 and used it quite a bit.

The light is playing funny tricks. They look rusted in daylight, but actually, they're not.
Revisited this integral from Alex Horn over the weekend, such a fun knife that has a very durable laser feel.

Konosuke Sanjo SKD 240 from the latest batch.
I missed selling my Yoshikane White and grabbed this while I had the chance, performance is smooth, smooth, smooth! Moreover, the extra Konosuke tuning is always welcomed.
The cladding and SKD steel is semi-reactive, so it's more exciting than boring full-stainless cladding.
Oh, and the sheath is pretty cool too.

Did some re-organizing today, I’ve been slowly replacing a number of shun knives that are in my drawer. Just a couple more to go, for now..

Purchased from @myguidingmoonlight, with thanks!

My 2 biggest gyuto's. 285x60 by A.G. Klint and a 270x55 by Daniel Schon.
How's the Klint big boy?
Fantastic. Fit and finish is on a very high level, the S-grind (my first) is very well executed and makes for amazing food release and the slight forward balance combined with it's weight (251gr) make it a joy to use on longer prep sessions.
It's my prep workhorse at work and I loved using it so much that I took it home for Christmas dinner.

The Denka is not my favorite knife, unless I'm doing herbs. There is something about it that sets this knife apart when cutting delicate herbs, I imagine it has to do with the weight, the geometry, and the shaving edge I put on it after some thinning.

When it's time to toss out the tree after Christmas, lemme know and I'll come by to recycle it for you.
