mazaki knives

[Eitan78]

Have to admit if that handle had black /mostly black horn and even better no end cap, I would have hit the BIN button.

I agree , an Ebony handle with horn ferrule can make a difference.

Also if that knife was 225mm ...

Simpler handles look better to me on dami blades, there is already a lot going on with the blade so no need for a handle to distract from that. These things are very personal though.

A voice of the manority on this one. But I actually liked that handle. Stunning piece of wood in my opinion. I’m not a fan of the dual horn thing though, could do w/o the horn butt. But overall I thought that was a pretty impressive package. This from a guy who normally doesn’t love Damascus. Beautiful stuff, but just not very “practical” for daily kitchen use. I have a tendency to F it up

I agree with you on the wood material, I personally do like the wood also. However to my own taste, I don't think this specific piece of wood is a good match with the Damascus steel. I personally find the wood burl pattern too busy that takes away the shine of the damascus. Secondly same as you have mentioned the dual horn thing. I think by assemble dual lighter color horns, it makes the handle look shorter and fatter.

I'm pretty sure everyone saw this already but KnS has Mazaki Deba in Blue 2 in stock. Maybe we'll eventually see a Blue 2 gyuto (in more than one copy )

210mm.

Bought it at cleancut in Stockholm. I have read much about different profiles, versions etc. Does this look like a decent one? I like it so far.

Mine looks similar, pardon the glare. I enjoy how it cuts.

Looks great! Seems a bit thinner behind the edge than my 240 from the same batch (which is a good thing if that is in fact the case).

I made roasted root veggies today. That was not the perfect fit for Mr. Mazaki...

Just in beige? Maybe with a splash of yellow?

So I pulled out my mazaki today that I got from ckc. I used it for a bit when I first got it but then packed away. Decided to use it for a fairly heavy prep day. I noticed a few things. I like it more now than I did before. I noticed the handle is a bit off center which I don’t mind much. But then I checked out the grind. Does this look lefty to anyone else?

 

[MowgFace]

Looks Lefty to me.

Looks perfect to me. [Lefty here!]

 

[dsk]

That looks too beautifully lefty to not be accidental.

 

[bahamaroot]

Mazaki has seemed to have the most consistency at Cleancut for whatever reason.

And that KU looks CRAZY lefty to me!

 

[ma_sha1]

I had one from knife wear looks just like that, lefty. Asymmetrical grind with left flat & right convex. I returned it for an exchange & the replacement looked normal. However, KW said it’s not lefty, & they don’t have lefty.

Yes exactly, just like mr pimpy Mazaki himself: bursting of colors inside, sporting only beige on the outside.

 

[M1k3]

He's wearing 3 colors, isn't that to much color for you?
