Knives used today:

From left to right:
- 2nd generation serial knife from @KAMON Knives
- Wüsthof Dreizack Classic 20cm
- WMF Spitzenklasse bread knife
- Victorinox parer

Middle 2 are knives from my mother, she had given me the chef‘s around my 18th birthday. The bread knife was hers and I inherited this along with a whole knife block when she passed away. Middle 2 are 25-30+ years old. Look at the bread knife, still in great shape!

Clean up time

Shaking them helps dislodge whatever may happen to be stuck on them. Alternatively, there's the dishwasher that will allow you to relax.

Just love how the handle matches the finish to some extent... or love the handle itself... or the finish itself for that matter.

Does it cut eggs well?

Gotta be wary not to use the puppy for prep and take the Kamon for a walk... you'll end up with no food and a totally ****ed up knife...

Clean up time

Once they're all down there, by which one do you start picking them up again? Is that like some kind of Operation game... a bit of an unsteady hand and you get a chip and you lose?

It's definitely a denser pattern on that handle then on the slabs that I have

Yup highly figured piece that, they can get even tighter, but may get a little busy on kitchenknives imo.

 

[eltonmichael45]

Agreed. But oh so lovely to look at.

Masterpiece from Xerxes

My first Yoshikane. Arrived last week. Been used everyday, I was expecting to see a patina form, but no. Also my first use of this steel type so maybe no patina for him. Very sharp ootb but the edge was too highly polished so put it to the stones and much happier with the "toothyer" edge

Which steel type is that? Is it the SKD? I have the sister knife to that one…
