I must have weighed it at some point, but I forget exactly. Based on the final weight of the knife, it's probably in the range of low 30s or less. I remember it having similar balance to ho wood handle. My other one is currently on my myojin 210. The weight is really nice for lightweight knives, to avoid balance being pushed too far back.
Nice rack! I have a rack like that too. However, I attached the magnets so that the blades do not touch the wood. The tannic acid in the wood can cause reactions with the steel. Better safe than sorry. The rubber from the magnets left unsightly stains on the blade. They could be removed, but it was a little annoying. By covering the magnets with cork I no longer have this problem. I also once had a small chip on a knife because I hit a wooden stick over it, so I covered the sticks with shrink tubing.
Nice work!

Agreed...
When my SO finally sees the light and decides she needs a 240 to go with her 210 Munetoshi, I think it's going to have to be one of these.
I bought this Kamon from @marc4pt0 Some time ago. Back then I used it daily until an acquaintance Mufasa'd it from a table. I went abroad and left it with my brother and some time passed before I could obtain it again, (sort of) repair the snapped tip and get it back to board. Picture of the new k tip and some blues
JCK Kagayaki. A hundred bucks of slicey goodness.

Going thru this latest batch of raw wood to get sent out for stabilizing. Mix of hawiaiian koa, mango and tas blackwood
Wife just got some A5 in for Japan for my birthday. The marbling is bonkers
With my girls being out and about I felt nerdy and wanted to play with my knives and etch my Ikenami gyuto.
Revealed the core steel pretty clearly.
Surprised the iron clad is not very reactive and the etch (mild vinegar) revealed lots of grey spots all over the blade which I can´t make much of right now. (any lacquer must have gone by now!?)
Thanks again to @Jaeger who turned this knife with plenty of wabisabi into a high performer and tuned the tip for me.

Those xerxes look nice, hope he does something similar in the future
Its so nice. Thick at the spine but transitions to the edge finely. Something I’m not worried about chipping. Plenty of metal to play with
dang...now I really want one lol, I'm sick
I would be inclined to try most things that Xerxes produces just based on the Primus performance.
The 37g Deejo is a soft little gentleman’s knife to bring discreetly to the steakhouse, for those occasions when the teal blue of the K390 Endura would clash with the dinner jacket.
Approx 18° edge, 15 on the left and 20 on the right.
Turns out the Sharpmaker is just right for this little guy.

Pulled out the Miyazaki after it’s been away for a while. Gotta get some microchips out after a big dinner prep for 3 hours last night (Sanchoco soup)

I've been focused on some more recent knives, but it's time to give my old Carter Funayuki some love
Did it chip your soul looking at the microchips
A Little bit
I’ll keep using this knife for a bit and see how Miyazaki’s AS heat treatment is
Low Bevels. I like how they perform... I think I did a top 5~10 in my head and realizing this edge geometry seems to be almost always in the top for me.
Still trying to put into words why the performance is crazy good on these, but organized from Laser -> all round -> workhorse.
Go go gadget food release:

After significant damage, Jonas helped me and repaired the knife. I like it better than before. It is 4mm shorter and has lost 1mm in height. I like it better visually and the profile is better than before. Nice work and a nice knife.
Before.
