mazaki knives

[Gregmega]

Honestly I’ve liked every Mazaki I’ve ever had from the first batch. I’m no preizzo but I’ve had five or six, got 3 at the moment. Reactive cladding I think is something you either eventually get used to or eventually get sick of.

Or eventually gray it with use like a champ

 

[captaincaed]

Or orange it with use like Panda

Would like to hear comments from anyone who has purchased the Maz 180 KU Nashiji petty from CKC since November of 2020? That is the last batch and current batch in inventory.

Thanks!

I may be overly fussy about iron cladding

Im the same way. I'm waiting for my first Maz gyuto to come in after I said F it and pulled the trigger on a Iron clad. Time will tell

ah ok. looks weird in that handwriting

Here’s a profile post of 2021 Damascus B1 and B2

Edited : (B1 on top)

You can the variation between this B1 and B2, so it looks like each one is unique.

The choils are different from 2020, with a more stylish look that feels like silk.

Here is an example of 2020 B2

B1 dammy 240 from Feb 2021. Still very confused by this knife.

Reposting for those who may be interested. The steel type is shown on the knife. BS1 on the left, BS2 on the right:

He also notches the tang to distinguish B1 and B2

Is this a different one than the original on ProTooling?

 

[Chicagohawkie]

What’s up with the variance in the kanji? It’s seems to be far more refined than the ones I have/had.

It's the recent one from Protooling, posted on their IG in the last day or two.

Why did I have to open this thread?!

 

[Moooza]

A few Maz dammy's available at Sugi Cutlery.

 

[RockyBasel]

It’s a good price too I think

 

[Danzo]

The new maz profile is calling my name. Question is should I shoot for KU or Migaki? Anyone have both of these for comparison? Ignore that dope dammy version it’s out of my price range.

I have a Migaki and a KU. Migaki is/was thinner and had more flex. The KU is a beast, a true WH. My vote is for the KU.

I might consider letting my Mazakis go if anyone from EU is interested. Selling to the US won’t make any sense as I had to pay customs and sales tax during import...

The KU. They're really special right now. Pictures for consideration.

This is the KNS one with the nice handle upgrade. Currently out of stock so I can’t see the price. CKC has 240 is stock but has that ugly handle, still a good price. What did you pay?
