Hinoura White#1 Nakiri, purpleheart/mahogany handle.

When I saw the specs for the knife, I thought the handle might be too heavy, but the blade ended up being quite the heavy weight and it matches well.

F&F pretty good, everything rounded, especially that crazy mirror hagane polish.

Very thick spine all the way down

But pretty thin behind the edge especially for such a robust feeling Nakiri

Looks like a long lost Petty I one knew, as in LONG petty, sweet knife/.

How do you find the urushi handle? Not too slippery when wet? TF offered me a 210 Denka with a red Urushi handle. Looked pretty but not really my style and it added $100 to the price.

I really like the urushi it as it is different from the other knifes that I have. It is quite grippy with dry hands, not sure how it is when wet as it is quite new to me. I had the choice of the red or the black when I ordered my TF
As I live in remote Western Australia, the postage to ship the knife off and get back for a re handle is massive so a TF upgraded handle makes sense to me.

Another from the Sydney Knife show.

Brook Turner Blades

A bit shorter than my usual pick, but a nice addition. It's performing well, no complaints.

Big shout out to Graydon Decollibus for the awesome craftsmanship on this handle.

 

[valgard]

So nice! Grayson's work is great.

 

[Sharpchef]

A new old one, kanji mystery allready solved by Shibata Aoki (tu)....

Honten Masanori

Engrave on tang is most probably user name, steel is tamahaghane.

30cm cutting edge, lightly restored, thinned and sandblasted to get rid of the rust, then lightly polished using micro mesh paper. Good performer so far.

Greets Sebastian.

New Halcyonforge 262x55mm in 1.2519 (so good!) wrought iron sanmai. Handle is a pretty special piece of spalted maple burl and a bronze pin. His workhorse grind, which cuts great. Spine is 4.8mm at the handle, 4mm at the heel, 2.3mm in the middle. Bevels finished on Japanese natural bench stones by the maker (this one on an Ohira suita I sent him ).

Joe's work is incredible, FF better than you can really tell in pictures, and they cut much MUCH better than kato or shigefusa. The knives have a special weight to them yet fall through product. If you arnt on his custom list....I dont know what you are doing here.

I've been bugging him for almost a year and I still can't get a spot on his list. I'm not sure what it takes to get on it.

This is my third from Joe, and I have tried 6 of them, all super good, and he keeps pushing and progressing almost by the knife.

Ditto.

That looks like quite a knife. Please let us know how you like it.

Yeah I really should not have said all the mean things I said about him. Might have been able to get a knife from him otherwise.

Picked up an vintage new stock Tadafune Komakiri Gyuto 230. Nothing fancy but quite interesting I think. Munetoshi there for comparison. thanks
