Magnets are the way.Can we see how you store them all? I have around a dozen knives and 4 of the beater ones sit in a drawer and the rest are on a magnetic strip.. couldn’t imagine all of these lol

In school they used to say, if there's an earthquake, you can stand in the doorway so stuff won't fall on your head...Magnets are the way.

The Kipp nakiri has cemented its place as my favourite among my 70+ (?) knives. It doesn’t even make sense - I prefer gyutos to nakiris and longer/taller knives to shorter ones - but something about the knife just clicks with me perfectly. I thank you for releasing it into the wild so that it could find its way to me!I think that Kipp is the one I had it is a very good one. Also, I do find the migotos white series to be very similiar cutting experience to the FMs, but I think I like the Migoto a little better.
While I do think one more magnetic bar is in my future, I fear that’s a photo of a man who lives alone.Magnets are the way.

I posted a picture on Reddit wayyyy back at the beginning of my addiction before I had nearly as many knives. Still had those magnets tho. I got all the comments on “that looks dangerous, what happens if there’s an earthquake, yadda yadda”. Then I had them all on the wall for our most recent hurricane and the anxiety nearly killed meIn school they used to say, if there's an earthquake, you can stand in the doorway so stuff won't fall on your head...
See that smile? There’s definitely no kids in that house lmaoWhile I do think one more magnetic bar is in my future, I fear that’s a photo of a man who lives alone.
Well at least you have great taste. Missing a Munetoshi 240 though...
No, at this point, I’m genuinely hoping that my collection doesn’t get any bigger!You can't collect them all is what I've been learning. Well you might be able to but I tell myself I shouldn't
Thank you! Yeah that quiche pic was a little bit older... but speaking of the kamon cleaver, it weighs a ton with that machined timascus handle. So while I scoffed at people who made jokes about knives falling, I will say having those cleavers up there did make me a little nervous at times. Now I have those magnets filled with everything else@cooktocut
Saw your Kamon cleaver above the door and I was wondering what happened to this beautiful display.
Always a treat to see!

How do like the butcher? Do you find uses for it often?Munetoshi 170 butcher • white 2 kurouchi • burnt ho + horn
The Munetoshi got caught up in an somewhat elaborate trade involving a Tsourkan, a Raquin, a Bidinger, and cash, so I no longer have it, but I'd definitely buy another one.How do like the butcher? Do you find uses for it often?
I’ve been using a isasmedjan Honesuki for butcher work but always looking to add more knive
I applaud the effort and restraint, but this throws a major wrench in my 2024 purchase plan now I can no longer use the pics here to convince myself I am doing fineAfter unburdening myself of 39 knives, I thought I'd taken a decent stab at bringing my collection down to a manageable number, but after laying them all out, I find that I am mistaken.
The fact that my knife fund balance is somehow at zero despite making quite a few sales should have been a pretty good clue... But hey, at least it all fits on the kitchen table again!
I’m figuring out my next round of cuts, and will make a note to give you a heads up if it ends up on the chopping block.I think I need it
Ditto!Always open to Toyama Nakiri buy back
Here’s a different take on it.I applaud the effort and restraint, but this throws a major wrench in my 2024 purchase plan now I can no longer use the pics here to convince myself I am doing fine
