BB incoming, with Honesukis. Someone in the hunt might be interested
Picked up one of his knives here on the forum and it's a solid option for the money. They always sell out instantly so better have those trigger fingers readyClement Knives with a drop that happened at 14.00 (GMT). He makes the handles from plastic waste washed up on beaches. More interesting materials and techniques used with these than his side project. Haven't tried these out yet, but I like what he's doing.
Found here
Here's an example: From Instagram
Yeah, I didn't expect that to go so quickly. The one I wanted sold as I was trying to checkout so I've left it for this one, there'll be more Good to hear that they're solid though, I'm keeping my eye out for the right one from him. What did you pick up? If that's not dragging this thread too far off topic.Picked up one of his knives here on the forum and it's a solid option for the money.

Just left the shop about an hour ago and hose were damn hard to pass up. If I wasn't a lefty, I would have grabbed the b-grind in a heartbeat.
Man this hurts my eyes and my soul.https://carbonknifeco.com/collectio...cts/nihei-white-2-stainless-clad-nakiri-165mmPage out of the Mazaki school of handle design (actually I think the maker behind both of these handles is Login • Instagram)
That big chef looks fun and feels great in hand, not that it would be a surprise considering how on point his handles are. I just have too many new knives that need to be put to use and what I really really want is a symmetrical or lefty asymmetrical b-grind.If the b grind was in stock I would have grabbed it, not sure I can justify getting a Bidinger in a normie grind
Yeah for me has to be b-grind or nothing I think. Normal grind is too similar in characteristic to my newham western I thinkThat big chef looks fun and feels great in hand, not that it would be a surprise considering how on point his handles are.

What kind of grind is your Newham? This was very different from either of my current ones, but seemed to resemble more the wrought iron one I just sold on BST. I hear you though, with the Bidinger stuff the b-grind feels like the one to chase after.Yeah for me has to be b-grind or nothing I think.

Seems like the compound grinds are more unique but I know he loses a lot of weight digging them out. I’m not sure which one I’ll go for, depends on what I have at the time. Us lefties are usually left out of the fun stuff
Awesome. I asked him about it a couple months back and he said he was getting a lot of requests and might start on some. Maybe there's hope for us yet @enrico l .He posted recently that he was making a lefty b-grind for the the first time.

Yeah he posted stories of the knife and him testing it. He said it was first ever lefty.Didn’t he release a lefty b-grind recently? If you missed it at least you know he makes them even if only once in a blue moon.
edit - oops I see he hasn’t actually released it yet. I thought I saw him posting photos of it though.
