[LucasFur]

Are they the knives from the videos themselves?

No ... But i consider the knife type and year produced as the same knife.
Eg. I have a 2014 Togo fujiyama ... the CGuarian vid is a Blue 2 fujiyama in 2013 .... same performance in my eyes.
Takeda / Sukenari ZDP /Kono Ashi honyaki / takamura R2 / ... i have a sakai takayuki Ginsan .. but different blades. The 5 though from the same year plus/minus couple months.

WTB:
Konosuke Kaiju blue 2

LOL ... i think everybody here has that on their WTB list.

Sometimes I think I need something Stainless, but then I realize I never cut that much acidic.

When Those videos came out I must have watched them each like 20 times. I actually have the Kohetsu AS from his video (Since been deleted). One of my travel beaters.

 

[DitmasPork]

None. We have a symbiotic relationship. Never counted the knives that live in my apartment.

 

[EM-L]

To many? And How to know which to include upholding the KKF standard?

Sorry my ignorance what's the criteria for the KKF standard ?

 

[daveb]

Shiny on one end, handle on the other.

 

[stringer]

I have culled the herd significantly. But I am an ebay and flea market addict. I probably have 50 less knives than I did two years ago. But 300 more straight razors.

 

[FishmanDE]

16 so far. 17 if a BST deal goes through.

I don't know! I am new! But it seems that we got a accurate (?) definition above!? And in that case I have probably to many?

[JayS20]

Do you have a library of all the knives you owned, tested with data?

 

[DitmasPork]

Hahahah, geez Louise!!! That’s impressive. How many? Certainly no dust patina on any of those.

 

[preizzo]

Hahahah, geez Louise!!! That’s impressive. How many? Certainly no dust patina on any of those.

I don't remember actually,I just know that are many knives

 

[WiriWiri]

Over 20 J-knives, plus a few euros/beaters. Roughly split into 1/4 gyutos, 1/4 petties and 1/2 others from my collecting different ’shapes’ phase (debas, honesukis, bunkas, kiwis, sujis etc).

All used, albeit fair to say that the more specialised knives aren’t used nearly as much and wouldn’t probably be on the first to prioritise list if I ever went back in time and started from scratch again.

Struggling hard to justify adding more tbh, but I’m going to keep plugging desperately

 

[63falcon]

With the two recent purchases I am at 12 and counting.

 

[TB_London]

I need to find a decent fishmonger, don’t use my single bevels enough.

 

[Renzwerkz]

I have sum laying around, but these are my favorite...

 

[Homechef]

Probably 6 regular users...and a drawer full of cheapos that for some reason I can’t get rid of.
