Nice!

I gave the same Kurosaki but with a different handle. Where did you buy yours?

Picked up an AEB-L paring knife and an oyster knife during a recent Town Cutler sale. Pictured with my OG TC palette knife. I purchased the latter during a sale a while back, and the handle really impressed me. The looks and fit/finish were very good, but the thoughtfully contoured design just begs to be held in a bunch of different positions. (It's not available anymore, sadly). That made me suspect that their other small knives would have similarly well-designed handles. I was right.

The oyster knife's handle is nicely contoured, but the real star in the ergonomics department is the paring knife. It wants to be held however you want to hold it. Grasp it by the blade or handle, it will just feel "right." And the flat spine/handle makes the knife sit solidly on its back; when I put it down, I put it down that way. My only complaint about the blade is the factory bevel, which was on the obtuse side for sure. I was able to reset the bevel to a better angle and get it sharpened up in about half an hour. It will now push-cut printer paper. Took an edge with ease. It's my first knife in AEB-L, and I'm impressed. The sharpening process scratched up the metal on the bolster, but I was able to polish that out pretty quickly.

Apart from the factory bevel, which isn't a big issue, I like this knife very much. The non-sale price is high, but they run sales pretty regularly and that helps out a lot. Of all the knives they make, this one (on sale) is one of the better values.

A thing of beauty! I also love that the crown matches your regal Biggie avatar.

Moritaka AS honesuki, I ordered it a few months ago and it finally showed up. Flattened the bevels and gave it a little kasumi finish. Always wanted a takeda but couldn’t justify the cost for just a butchery knife. I figure this will be good enough but only time will tell.

I haven't had a chance to use it for much, but while dicing a couple tomatoes last night it was really good. Whenever I can test some potatoes I'll post a followup.

Catcheside is on its way

 

[btbyrd]

It’s French as **** up in here right now.

 

[btbyrd]

Some more photos. The Tartine Bernal Sab packaging kinda looks like a baguette.

Frenchy spacers. I gave the vintage Sab’s handle some TLC.

Upgraded my cheese and salumi knives...

Ooh la la... Laguiole.

Thanks for the advice!

A wild Catcheside appears!

And meeting it's new friends:

Tried it out on an unsuspecting carrot. Poor thing never stood a chance. What a chopper.

 

[daddy yo yo]

Nice knife but a strange choice of angles for your photography...

 

[Migraine]

I take terrible photos. It is known.

 

[daddy yo yo]

I agree. I wouldn’t call them terrible though. Suboptimal pics of a very nice knife, I would say...
