Holy sh1t. Holy sh1t. Holy sh1t.

It’s a rough day when a shig kiteagi is the beater on the block.
 
Porky Pig shows to each of us what he wants us to see. I see a thumbs up. And you see... What a clever character.

Yoshiaki Fujiwara 240mm Kiritsuke Gyuto 馬車馬

Special Yoshiaki Fujiwara 240mm Gyuto. 馬車馬
(Kato: Nr 3 )

Both BNIB direct from JNS. Not for Sale or for Trade.

My gyuto is actually from a special batch and is numbered 3. If I recall correctly, this batch was sold in 2014 with 3 workhorse gyutos and each had their number engraved on the tang. The descriptions are taken from the emails from JNS to confirm my orders. Can't remember what else made them do special.

So lucky to be able to buy this off his website. I have tried many times but only successful in adding it to my basket this time. And once it was in the basket, the website gives me plenty of time to fill in the necessary information to buy it. You just have to be lucky enough to get it in your basket. Lucky me.

Milan Gravier 280mm sanmai mild steel + C130 steel.
Edge is 280mm long, 55mm high at heel, 4 to 0.9mm thick, 248 grams.
Handle is made with a brass collar and a deep red-colored bahia palissander.

The knife has been finished by Milan himself on Ohira Uchigumori so there should not be any low spot.

Found Milan Gravier's IG entry.

Many people want to be better acquainted with them. But difficult to gather them all together for a group picture.

I’m not sure why but ever since I snagged a couple yo handled Jiro’s i’ve been really into westerns. That milan is extremely bad*** man. What a knife.
 
What lovely friends you have! Mine are only Japanese friends - I need to branch out! The Gravier in particular is stunning. Is that a custom?
