You know I love my Uchigumos, that 270 is a beast, I am sad the yo had to go wa, but I am glad to know they are in your loving hands, the 360 misono is a beast, is it next to impossible to use? I was thinking about buying one lol

The wa is actually quite nice, really makes it feel blade forward which I like. I'm afraid to try the 360 lol

What up all, I haven't been around in a while… busy AF with work, life, summer, etc. and it's showing little signs of changing. Anyways… this is what I got just before August long weekend rehandled by Dave Martell:
Takamura Uchigumo 135mm petty with Hawaiian koa handle
Takamura Uchigumo 240mm gyuto with Hawaiian Norfolk/Cook Pine handle
Takamura Uchigumo 270mm sujihiki with Hawaiian mango handle
Misono Swedish Carbon Steel 360mm gyuto with Hawaiian koa handle
I really like how the hidden tang wa conversion takamura now have more of a blade forward balance too

January get together
Click to expand...

Gosh Evan in January we might have 30 cm of snow and -30 C. Not a chance at an outdoor venue. If we pull it in the next month or even November with a small tight group I can volunteer my backyard if no better space is available.
 
We need more cheapies in this thread. It's intimidating to post something ordinary after all the expensive and exotic stuff.

Very nice. What is it?

Gorgeous handle on the Misono, Tanner. I have no idea what one does with a gyuto that long though

Really love the Takamura Uchigumos. Loved them before, love them more after Dave's rehandling. Like Chinacats, I'd be a bit worried about wielding the Misono... especially in a kitchen.
:scared4:
 
I'm on board with the idea of cheapies. Here's mine.

Top to bottom:

Wakui white 2 240 gyuto from K&S
Toyama blue steel 240 gyuto from JNS
Munetoshi 170 butcher from JNS

Haven't had a chance to use the Toyama or the Mune yet but I still giggle like a schoolgirl every time I pick up the Wakui. Cuts like a dream and by all reports the Toyama will too. I'm surprised and impressed by how sturdy the Mune is. Come the zombie apocalypse, that's the one I'll be packing.

So, nothing fancy but I love them.

Can't believe you bought a nakiri Cap😜

Loving the Dalman, particularly the handle.
Click to expand...

Nakiri - I know right? Although I'm not a fan of a hammered finish this was too good a deal to pass up. Doesn't appear to have too much of the grind issues we've been hearing about. Didn't use it this weekend, but for the last two weeks have been putting it through the paces. Gotta say, a 195mm Nakiri may just be my sweet spot. That little finger notch thing is really comfortable also.

That Dalman is razor thin and fun to use. For being so short (165mm) it's got a nice tall belly (45mm) for it's size. Of course the finish is amazing and the end is a bit more pointy than most of my knives making it well suited for dicing lots of onions.
