How much was the knife from Yanick Puig?

I see him on Instagram and have been curious about his knives.

Is that the one from preizzo? Really wanted that one, I envy you!!!

Perfect light after the storm brought out the wild colors on these guys. Kato vs turkey Shig vs pork loin. Nice to be working again.

Question - I recently purchased a KIYA Takefu Special Steel #2 petty knife. After use on onions and cooked beef, I immediately wiped the blade clean. See no evidence of a patina forming. Should I allow more time before using and cleaning the knife to encourage the development of the patina?

Are we allowed to post cheat's versions...?

This is an old butcher's knife I picked up in a second hand shop recently. Had to sand a load of rust off, and then put some mustard on. End result is a base of old pale grey patina, that in the light catches some mother-of-pearl type greens and blues from the mustard.

It’s JNS Tanaka with KnS handle.

That cladding line makes me want to own this knife. THIS KNIFE!!!

 

[soigne_west]

Yeah it’s pretty wild. What’s weird is above the shinogi, spots of the cladding react differently almost like a honyaki effect? Maybe carbon migration?? IDK it’s cool though
