Kemadi Knives 227x52mm in Mono Bulat steel wearing a Russian black Hornbeam handle. Comes in at a nice blade forward balance of 226.6g. F&F is top notch, my only negative at the moment is the 20mm ricasso area. I just prefer more around 13mm to 15mm. But this is minor in the overall stellar package. The handle is on the longer side at 144.5mm, but I think I’ll trim a little bit off.

So extremely curious about these knives. Any chance at a formal review after a few months of use?

@captaincaed it really is stunning. I’ll need to see if I can find that podcast to listen to!
As for your question about how it cuts over time, I’ll have to get back to you. For now I will say it’s been pretty nice. I want to get a little experience sharpening it, see how it really feels on the stones. Then see how long the edge lasts from there.

Try Knife Talk #23. I think it's that one....

Really love these four. Especially that longer 52100 - that's my favorite.

I get it. His knives are like tattoos, addictive. From what I hear, I actually don’t have any tats

The one on the left is soooooooo cool! Why? It has a natural Rader-esque endcap... I really love that feature!!!

Not a huge fan of damascus, but Michael's work (as does Devin's) is stunning. Can't stop looking at those pics!

 

[marc4pt0]

I’m with you on the Damascus thing. Normally not a fan, but lately I’ve been really digging it. Especially Rader’s work.

Wish I could say the same lol. Months ago Michael said he'd do a Damascus for me, crossing my fingers. Judging from yours, they are a masterpiece.

You need to stop because I'm ODing on the pictures alone! LOL

I was just geeking out on the wood on that Isasmedjan on his Instagram the other day.
