The middle one from merion forge, a relatively newer knife maker from Czech.Who is the middle knife from?
Honestly, that petty looks perfect
Looks like he’s focusing a lot more now
Thank you. I can see that petty to be my daily petty. The geometry is quite spot on actually,slay through garlic. And as a typical heiji the edge is sharp ootb
Yo @Choppin sorry for getring back late. This 165 petty ran longer. So its
180x34 about 3mm thicc @heel
thanks! when I ordered a 180 petty I got a 190, so that makes sense
im actually glad it came longer since the last time you got a 180 and i felt like i should order a 180.
yeah 180 is a great petty size IMO… I use mine more like a slicer / mini-suji so I’m glad it’s a bit longer as well
250 mm Swedish carbon with a Nashiji finish, weighing in also at 250 g.
The grind is very clean and it came very sharp OTB.
It cuts better than anticipated, authoritative and front heavy. It doesn’t exactly cut carrots silently but no explosions and no wedging. Tip comes to a very fine taper. Cladding is pretty reactive as it has already picked up a nice blue after lunch today - chopped salad with hamburger.

Looks nice! How much height at the heel did you end up with? Those handles look great! Where'd you source those?
Thanks!
A hair over 53 at the heel... and I got them from Jack, @knifehandle37 on instagram.
Ordered a carbon KU nakiri with extra height. Came out about 170x55. Good price even with the extra height surcharge.
He actually originally made one that was 250g. He asked me if I wanted a lighter one, and by the time I replied he said he had a new one forged and rough ground. This one is about 200g

I'd love to know how it compares with a Wat Pro or Kochi.
I'll definitely report back to compare to my Wat Pro 180. I'm hoping this will push out that one which is a bit large for me.
Interesting. How is the grind on this one?
This is awesome, I didn’t know they offered a full tang option!Just want to show off my new handle on my 180mm heiji full tang petty.

240mmx58.3mmx5.2mm
286g
Iron / swidish fish
I was really surprised he was willing to make these dimensions, he actually made this knife twice
I didn’t know he finished the bevels to this level
Definitely one of if not the sharpest knife out of the box that I’ve owned

What!!!! How did you get him to do a 58 mm heel height? I have never gotten beyond 52-54 with them.
Share the secret
Which one is this, full carbon or SKD?
I love my SemiStainless - it seems to keep its edge longer than anything else in my stable. Just keeps on going
daaayyyummm that’s insane
Forgot to post, but here’s the 180mm Semistainless petty I got a while ago

Good luck, I hated mine. It’s a protein only knoife
Mines seems ok so far, I use it more as a fillet/boning. But I can see the grind probably won’t be as good as a line knife
I’ve finished reshaping the geometry.
He did a great job! Right side needed work at the heel left side needed work at the tip.
I will say I’m incredibly happy I had all diamond stones for this. I blazed right through everything piece of cake

The choil shot on my 180 petty/suji (190 edge length) looks just like yours. I also had a 270 suji that had the same geometry.
His petty / suji are basically double bevel yanagiba. Not much distal taper and thick everywhere above the shinogi. Pretty thin BTE though. I agree they work well as slicers or filleting/ boning. But not really a versatile line knife.
Ayo ,guys ,such a lovely heji knives u got.
Question; when placing order did u pay upfront whole price ,some order fee ,or when goods are done & ready to ship ? Thanks ,lets heji

the entire amount upfront. but the yen is weak rn, so it's a really good price and time to buy heiji's direct.
Because these sorta have a zero edge and considerably thicker, I wouldn't recommend a Heiji to a first time user. if you still want one for him, just microbevel it as soon as you get it.
Thank you very much🫡
