Ashi Ginga and a new Munetoshi
I have only just gotten it. The size, weight, and profile are great for an all-around. It felt a little chunky on an apple test, so I will have to dial it in. But I think it is a very nice general purpose knife. I love a little extra toughness for this kind of knife. It may have to deal with crusty bread or nuts or things where a nail-flexing laser is not ideal.how do you like the Mune?
That is quite a bit different than his original feather.
The tanaka x kyuzo with the persimmon handle is so attractive WOWOne of these things is not like the others. View attachment 231221
Wow, good eye!The tanaka x kyuzo with the persimmon handle is so attractive WOW
To say a k tipped Tanaka x kyuzo is on my “to own” list is a bit of an understatement….. I’m slightly obsessed. My top knife to own is an extra height k tipped gyuto. Love Tanaka’s blue 1Wow, good eye!
suji or gyuto? that KU finish is beautiful
210 petty suji…love it.suji or gyuto? that KU finish is beautiful

It's dope, the tip flies through everything and Matt knew I like a flat profile from the gyuto profile I drew for myself.Great pair!
How do you like that petty profile? I'm biased but I love it!

It really is. Mine is a magnacut, I can just go ham on acidic stuff all day and not lose an edge.
Matt and I worked on that petty profile and as soon as I put it to use I knew it was a winner.
My two new knives. I got into this craziness via pocket knives, mainly Case traditionals. I went to my local store, Shepherd Hills (which has all current case knives and in store all Henkels/Zwilling, Wusthoff and most Shun cutlery) and saw this Boker Automatic for under $60. Tried the mechanism once and was sold. It was dull as a butter knife but that was easily remedied. The Tojiro Nakiri is my first Japanese knife, got a good deal on ebay. It's not fancy but it sharpened up nice and looks good in my block (blends in with the Zwilling German knives).
It's terrible having to drive by the mothership everyday on my way home from work. That's how this started. From pocket knives to kitchen knives.Shepherd Hills Cutlery has gladly accepted a good deal of my money.![]()

Yeah, I just entertained myself by taking 1/16" slices off the top of a tomato one-handed with that nakiri.Wait until we get you into a proper Japanese knife and you experience those geometries, steels and edges.![]()
