I love that "drip" aesthetic that you do.

That is gorgeous... must resist... Any planned sujis?

I’m curious. What are those vertical features, and how is it done?

Thanks, let me know details re the suji. I might be able to squeeze another one in the next few weeks. Cheers

These are just purely aesthetic 'grinds'.

Should we try this one?

Should we try this one?

Yes, precious

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

Should we try this one?

Yes! A small western maker for under $300? That's an excellent deal.

 

[Sweetlou]

Yes, precious

Precious?

What is the shape of the handle? I’m not sure I understand from the description…sorry.

 

[Knot Handcrafted]

That's ok, it's a rokkaku hanmaru shape

An oft repeated verbal tic by a tortured Stoor with a slight case of nosism.

Nice one

I have two wonderful @Knot Handcrafted veg cleavers and also bought a similar 52100 laser gyuto for a friend's 40th birthday. I got to play with the gyuto last weekend and have only high praise. Very smooth cutter as one would expect from the well executed laser grind. Nice blade forward balance, and that was with only 240×51, 176g, specs. This specimen is 238x56, 191g, so that extra height is lending even further weight to the forward balance. The extra height will also help mitigate against any "food creep" that inevitably happens with lasers.

Fit and finish is also excellent, very comfortable rokkau hanmaru handle. That feathered teardrop pattern on the spine is very attractive in person. And the 52100 patina takes a beautiful patina with vibrant blues, yellows, and oranges.

Lots of artistry and skill here. And Michael is wonderful to deal with from a customer service perspective. It literally pains me to see this knife sitting here lol, especially at the reduced price. I currently have multiple knives on the way and a couple of custom rehandles in the works, and I'm completely tapped out at the moment. But you better believe that a 52100 laser from Michael is on my short list for the future.

If I didn’t have a Eddworks knife coming due to be done in a week or so, I would probably be getting this. I love the handle and 52100 with the forge marking.

Thanks Jacob, that's very kind of you. It is much appreciated.
