25…
If I count the Shihan 210 gyuto I have on order I'll have 10. And still no deba or honesuki. Probably will never try a deba but at some point I see myself getting a honesuki. I breakdown chicken more then I do others.

I had a cheap (like $75ish) honesuki that worked fine but I recently picked up a Takeda on BTS and it's utterly awesome. I'm with you on the deba, I don't buy whole fish often enough for a dedicated blade.

One petty?!
Seems bit short of 240mm gyuto, maybe another one?

Haha that is the rotation for your first 25 knives.
Just copy and paste as many times as you need.

Don’t we all…
I’m up to 50. Ok, 52, two more are currently in the mail…
Fidget spinner santoku?
Ya know, I posted this picture in a bunch of places and that Opinel Kid Knife has probably gotten the most comments of all.
Bico Doce
aka Big Dice / Bocce Ballz / Big Douche
I have the same knife! I bought it for my daughter. She loves to use it. Has an accompanying finger guard for the other hand
I only want to know what food prep you're doing with that kiridashi?
If I count/remember well:
13 Toyamas
2 Mazakis
3 + 1 Katos
1 Shigefusa + edit
1 Takeda
1 Ikanshi Tadatsuna
1 Munetoshi
1 Hiromoto
2 + 1 Raquins
1 Evan
1 Dalman
1 Bloodroot
(+1 means hunter)
In other words:
7 single bevels
In other words:
2 honyaki and meat clever should have temper line under KU so +1
3 monosteel
All the others are but one carbon/carbon (1 ss clad)
2 damascus
In other words:
10 gyutos (6x ~250mm, 3x ~270mm )
2 cleavers / 3 nakiris / 1 usuba / 1 meat cleaver
(I always say that I'm a cleaver guy
)
From single bevels I'm doubling only on debas (2x 180mm)
In other words:
Shortest 135mm mukimono
Longest 315mm gyuto
Tallest 110mm cleaver
Conclusion is that I should sell a couple of 250mm gyutos and the deba and buy a couple of cleavers...
EDIT:
Forgot about Shigefusa gyuto

Such a nice set. A bit of everything...
There are two in there. They aren’t included in the 50 number. I have used them for stemming strawberries, but lately they are mostly for stone testing/polishing practice. I do use them for cutting paper and stuff like they are intended for.
Variety is the spice of life.
My wife thinks is a lot a bit of everything. Thankfully she just rolls her eyes when another knife/stone walks through the door.
I don't own all that many relative to some folks here, but here's what I acquired in 2022. I have maybe another 6 j-knives from 2021 besides these. I feel like I bought way too many knives in 2022 so I've been thinning the heard a bit and hoping to be a little more deliberate in 2023.
Top to bottom in the middle column: Steele, Kamon, Markin, Breg, Newham, Smedja, Birgersson, Adonis, Spare.
Left two: Hanson, Steeleworks
Right two: Majime, Ayling

IMHO you've had quite a 2022, both in terms of quality and quantity. Beautiful!
Starting to look like exponential growth... might be time to sell some before I'm buried in knives.
