Gorgeous!
Marc I think you need to add a few more kamon to your collection, it really looks like you are lacking in that regard.
How do we know you don't only have one + 8 extra handles / I mean a little photoshop work and your there!
Beautiful collection senor (... I have to point out that you "may be" dangerously close to needing an intervention - which just say the word & I will help you with the San Mai BTW! But that just me always trying to help!).

your offer of help is greatly appreciated!
Speechless. What a collection.
I’ve been looking for a great filet knife. Any suggestions?
this is _unreal_. can you tell us more? is there another post with full details on this?
I think you could have a side hustle as a (re)distributer of Kamon knives in the US.
He is apparently working on mine now, have not got to try one of his out yet. Soon tho.

Sure can. Specs are:
| stainless clad, 1.2519 core | 242mm edge | 52mm heel height | 7.63 spine thickness at handle | 250.49g | blue dyed birch, titanium caps |
Benjamin of Kamon Knives took this one in to freshen it up, and give is an updated handle.
You are in for quite the treat!
this is wonderful. thank you. really appreciate that. do you know, by the way, if he has a particular name or phrase for that style of handle, i mean in terms of its shape/geometry? i've seen it on a few of them now and not only does it seems like pure genius ergonomically, i wonder if he's codified it with a particular name. separately, i'm imagining it must _feel_ really neat and well-thought-out in the hand, probably most in a pinch grip, but maybe you can report on that at some point...?
@jsph this particular handle is his western style. It keeps with his original design aesthetics well while still feeling great in hand.
being tall and lank, I have thin fingers. So my grip doesn’t get to fully experience the intention of most western handle designs. By that I mean my pinky doesn’t drop behind the notched out belly dip of the western handle. That said, I still think this handle feels good in use. But for me it just feels like his usual ”standard” handle to me. Just with cooler looks

A few weeks ago the awesome folks of AI&OM held a lotto drawing for 2 Kaiju gyutos. I was lucky enough to be one of the winning recipients. A very impressive piece of work.
Konosuke Fujiyama Kaiju B1 240mm gyuto.Edge length 230mm, heel height @ 53mm, 230g. Blonde buffalo horn and zircote.

That's a beauty, congrats on the drawing!
Hitohira Tanaka Kyuzo 240 stainless clad B1. This is what I have been waiting for ever since I first tried a wide bevel Fujiyama 7 years ago. I had a Togashi W1 stainless and it was a very handsome blade. The funny thing is right after I sold it these Tanaka ones popped up. Figured what the heck.
So you nabbed this! I went on Carbon (what I thought was) quickly. Sold out. Wah wah.
such a cool knife. it's like a chinese cleaver with a tip. congrats on the buy
That one sold before I could get to it as well. The one above was another that they received afterwards.
Lucky dog!
Excuse my ignorance, would this be categorised as a medium weight knife?
