Drastic afflictions call for drastic measures. A cyanide pill should put a stop to the problem permanently…Maybe there's a pill you can take to help with your condition.
Not a bad haul. Mine should be here in the next few hoursAlright time to share what I nabbed from the boxes. I got 2 pies, from blacksmith Jody Hale. One is from his HPWK (High performance work knife) line, it's blue 2 with stainless cladding, the other is a suminigashi damascus clad b2 mini gyuto. Both are ground incredibly thin and even, and have super thin blade thickness as well. Great fit and finish on both. Interesting shape on the first one, kind of like a butcher/trimming knife. I might use it for trimming brisket.
Overall, fun to get these in the mail and check out something new. I might keep one or both... might sell one, who knows. I mainly have workhorses in my drawer so playing around with some super thin lasers might be a nice change of pace

Much thinner than my grocery store chefs lol excited to use itDCB could be a little thinner but his AEB-L is bulletproof and its a very easy to use profile.
Hopefully the knife is as sharp as you’d like that image to be?Mine has arrived. This is the actual delivery photo from FedEx. Looks nice, huh? I'll have to wait a few hours until I get home to see it.
Ahh the true KKF way... you love to see it.No self control so ordered another one. Have to be done after this!
Have a Knot nakiri from BST on the way, a birch and bevel 230 gyuto from Fredrik Spare on the way, a 270 suji from HVB on the way. And I’m already out of room for any of those lol

Lol definitely needed this. I think after these last few ones coming in I’m going to try and sell off the first knives I bought and any repeats (don’t NEED 4 nakiris) then use that to fund 1 last buy.My brother/sister in knife addiction, I'm here to tell you that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm on Day 15 without an incoming knife package (oh, except for that Markin).
Rare was the day in January, February and March when I wouldn't have any knives hitting my mailbox – but you do crash into an emotional wall at a certain point where you feel too sated by sharp pointy things (and start running out of storage to hide knife boxes from your SO) that you will stop feeling quite so tempted to buy any more.
Speaking from personal experience, the only thing you may find is that your SICKNESS (Satisfactory Individual Cost of Knife Not to Exceed Sliding Scale) may increase from, say, $6xx to $9xx or $12xx or $15xx before you reach that final point of satiation.
In the meantime, GLWBB (Good Luck With Bank Balance).
I bought my first +$1,500 knife last month. More than double the cost of my second most expensive knife. Still contemplating my sanity. Do I keep it or sell it? Time will tell.My brother/sister in knife addiction, I'm here to tell you that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

The answer is to buy another one, so that your first one no longer seems crazy.I bought my first +$1,500 knife last month. More than double the cost of my second most expensive knife. Still contemplating my sanity. Do I keep it or sell it? Time will tell.
I neglected to mention that I have a custom in the works, but that one is only a little less than $1,000.The answer is to buy another one, so that your first one no longer seems crazy.

Negative feedback loop is a bench.I’m out of space and contemplating a custom $800 knife rack.
I keep asking myself, “Is it worth a Kamon?” And then I think “But if I bought another Kamon I’d have nowhere to display it.” And then I think “Yeah, but is it worth a Kamon?”
I have a small kitchen and no room for a mag strip on the wall. I have this knife block thing…I’m out of space and contemplating a custom $800 knife rack.

I hate it. But I don’t know anything else that can hold as many knives. The main problem is it only fits 2 240s and 2 210s before you have to drop down to ~150mm without hitting the counter top
No issues with longer knives? Handles aren’t bumping into each other when in side by side slots?
The height from bottom of the knife handles to the bottom of the cavity is just under 280mm. I only have two knives that I can't fit well: my Yoake because the spine is so thick and my sujihiki which would barely fit but makes me a little uncomfortable because it is so close to the bottom. I choose to have the suji in a drawer since I don't use it that often anyway. There are two pairs of handles that touch. I haven't really adjusted them to try to resolve the issue. You do have to be very careful taking them out and putting them away so that the blades are straight up and down. If you have less knives (it holds 18) or wanted them to be more spread out, you could always skip some slots.No issues with longer knives?

Thanks! Ordered one. Have a little more than 18 knives but I think I could slim down to the main 10-12 lol. The rest can get tucked away in the tool chest which has turned into a knife & stone storageThe height from bottom of the knife handles to the bottom of the cavity is just under 280mm.
