That should stay sharp just about forever!

This is my newest addition to the collection. It's a m390 215mm gyutohiki. Handle is made from ebony, copper, POM and a larch cone cast in resin. The design of the handle is mine and the knife maker is Aleksander Błażyca (Aleks handmade knives). It turned out even prettier than I expected.

That cone piece is maybe the coolest add on to a knife handle in a LONG ******* time.

Yeah it came out beautifully, but this is my favourite custom handle. The guy making it for me has absolutely exceeded my expectations. You can't see it on the photo, but the handle has that 3d effect to it. The depth of this is truly stunning.
The knife itself is a K&S blue #2 stainless-clad nashiji 270mm tanaka. Absolute beast of a knife.
Now I just need to get a custom olive wood saya made to complete the look.

The best mini cleaver size around: 180mm x 80mm tall.

Sick!!

 

[panda]

is it just me or does that look just like a nenox?

Ikeda makes their super high end honyakis, so similarities are to be expected

 

[bkultra]

@fatboylim, where is the balance point on that honyaki?

@fatboylim, where is the balance point on that honyaki?

At the heel of the knife and given that it is a 248mm it works well.

Also, its white 2

Ikeda looks freaking AWESOME. Mazaki looks petty. It's a yangi??? :scratchhead:

More like a single bevel petty. That said, I just made match stick cucumber using the usuba method (but with this little single bevel). Super easy on the first attempt.

Interestingly after making a thin ribbon of cucumber, in came the Ikeda honyaki western to make the matchsticks!

Nice combo.
