To answer your questions: Genkais are relatively easy to find, at least the regular wavy hamon or mt fuji hamon are. The others a harder, but I got lucky . Why 3? Well, why not is a better question if you ask me.... same reason almost all people here buy multiple knives I guess. And at least one of them will be used!

They are good looking blades but every time someone mentions the mount fuji thing all I can think of is "Moons Over My Hammy". No sushi at Denny's though.

Super bird > moons over my hammy

Agreed.

I was hoping you were a sushi chef

So sorry to disappoint...

A couple of new acquisitions. The nakiri is my personal unicorn that I managed to hunt down. Finally!

I just got a shig santoku - being a purist, it didn't sit right - but I have to say I love using it.

Do you have the KU or kitaeji? Regardless, I’m glad to hear that you love using it. I love the profile of my santoku. I don’t care...call me Rachel for all I care. :lol2::knife:

I think knives should be delivered like this, what do you guys think?

Thanks KKF for letting me think I need a lot of Gyutos, when what I really need is an awesome Nakiri [emoji51]

Shout out to Judd for letting me buy this thing

Now, that’s what I call a unicorn express. Congrats!

A couple of new Kippingtons arrived. Both 1095 honyaki. One is convex laser and the other is “southpaw” or asymmetrical mizuno inspired grind.

Very nice. I really like the profile. The bacon line looks great too. More pictures and is the convex laser a work pony.

 

[valgard]

Yeah, I’m at work. Just wanted to take a quick pic before patina settles in. I’ll take more. Work pony is simply a figment of my imagination...until someone commissions Kippington to make one. 😎

Let us know how these perform and some measurements when you have time.

Sweet! Are they yours or are they the passarounds? They look awesome!

 

[labor of love]

Both of them are mine. I’ll probably use them for passaround at some point if there’s enough interest. They’re both ground for a left handed user though.

New shoes on the 210mm SS itinomon for my fiancé. Made by Kurkowski custom works and I have to say, I'm quite jealous of how pretty it turned out.

Great! Nice to see folks using these knives alongside their significant others...wish my wife cared enough to learn to use something other than the Takamura 180 I got her.

Just ordered this: https://www.yanagiknife.com/copy-of-2 in 300mm. I wanted White Steel and I supposed I'd have preferred WS2 but WS1 should be a tiny bit sharper and this knife will never see a bone or even cartilage so hopefully I can keep it chip-free. Also got a 180mm Santoku because I'm not necessarily a purist and it filled a gap between my petty and gyutos. Think I'm good on hardware for now, now I am thinking of dipping my toe in the JNat waters. Not sure whether to smile or cry, with that.

Meet you down here in the Jnat hole.
