Tetsujin makes top tier knives. If they released smaller numbers they’d be kono fm status within a couple of years. Killer convex laser grinds and f&f

 

[billybunka]

Myojin kills it, would love to try one of the dammy collabs with nakagawa soon…Kono fm is a dream that I am manifesting, just need my banks support and more importantly somebody that wants to let theirs go

This one was made by my friend Sam Diab from Burning Sword Ironworks in spicy white. It is one of my facorites.

No fuss, only BrrrRaaAaap.

I was always surprised how resilient they were considering they’re shirogami

 

[Uncle Danny]

This is my kind of blue

 

[OkayMode]

This is my kind of blue

Damn, Wakui WH?

That looks like so different to how mine behaves, I wonder if the finishing has changed between batches.

 

[Uncle Danny]

Yes, I bought it on BST a year ago. Gave it a new Migaki finish and then the patina exploded.
Same thing happened to a wrought I removed patina from and gave a new polish.
Guess some of these colours are deeply rooted.

New Wakui 270 WH straight out of the box after a few days of food prep with my parents in town.

Curious what it will look like after a polish

[Uncle Danny]

Beautiful colours already If you decide to give it a new finish, there’s a lot of blade road to practice on

Only a couple of days? Did you use it for a whole hog roast??

I’ve been using mine for months and it’s nowhere near as developed

 

[Uncle Danny]

This dirty wrought is looking really pretty

10lbs of roasted chicken, 6 onions and a head of garlic!

Kagekiyo Blue#1 210 "Petty" knife

Starting over with new patina - got a little tipsy this weekend and decided to do a maintenance thin on the knife before I did my 4th sharpening (this one gets used a lot). Was starting to get a little thick BTE so went for a pink brick 220, synthetic aoto 600, Naniwa pro 1k to thin bte / raise the shinogi line a few mm and finished with a 400 -> 1k grit sandpaper to blend the hollow bevel... was too lazy to go for flitz. sharpened edge on a Ouka.

Not going to take kasumiJLA's job any time soon but pretty happy with the thinning and performs like new again. Patina from shrimp fried rice.
