Not really. It’s something I threw out there to describe the old ones. Clearly it’s caught on[emoji12].

Are you the originator? History will remember you! [emoji16]

Some recent highlights and a family shot...
Fujiwara Denko 180mm & 210mm Gyuto's
Toku Atsurai Kiku 120mm Petty
Toku Atsurai Hanma 240mm Gyuto

Someone on this thread said it recently - The Nakiri was the "unnecessary" one that kicks you off the slippery slope that is many a kitchen knife.

Newest knife acquisition from a fellow left handed Canadian on BST… Marko Tsourkan 260x52mm gyuto with the Masamoto KS profile. Blade is A2 steel with left hand convex asymmetrical grind. Handle is D-shape of koa with bog oak and mokume-gane ferrule.

This is awesome!! Enjoy!

Mercer Chinese cleaver, cheap but effective. $20 from Amazon. Came quite sharp.

My knife storage is now known as "the black bloc".

Nothing fancy, just a Munetoshi Petty, but I’m impressed how nice it looks with a proper handle:

Nice! Did you install the handle yourself?

Me: “maybe I should get a nakiri...”

Also me: “good idea! it seems like it would suit your cooking needs and cutting style quite well!”

Me: “which one should I get?”

Also me: “well, since it’s your first one, maybe something moderately priced. try checking out the usual vendors. it’s too bad you missed the munetoshi that was on bst recently.”

Me: “yea, true. that’s good advice!”

Thanks to @thebradleycrew for the great transaction.

 

[childermass]

Nice! Did you install the handle yourself?

Yes I did. I deliberately used epoxy to increase the weight a bit in order to move the center of mass a little towards the handle. Worked out really nice, now I can hardly feel the weight of the knife when using a pinch grip.

Two new guys recently.

Halcyon Forge 225 x 50 Kasumi wrought iron & Comet 240 x 51 Honyaki. I cant decide which one I like better.

 

[bahamaroot]

Send them to me, I'll decide for you.

 

[valgard]

Very nice duo. That kasumi Halcyon is very very good looking.

My first set of knife upgrades after finding this site. Modest compared to a lot of the knives in this thread, but a joy to use. Jon from Japanese Knife Imports spent a lot of time emailing and giving advice, and I have to say his customer service blew me out of the water, well over expectations. Thanks to everyone on this site that gave me advice as well! Acquisitions are as follows:

• Gesshin Stainless 210mm Wa-Gyuto
  
• Gesshin Kagero 135mm powdered steel Petty
  
• BoardSmith 2" x 12" x 18" Maple chopping board

What is the knife on the very far right in the family pic? That one catches my eye, different from the others...

Both those are slick! I especially like the looks of the one by Mert, really love his work. How do you like the performance?

 

[Sergio NYC]

Thanks

 

[Badgertooth]

Daniel Cauble of Caublestone Cutlery is one hell of a knifemaker. 1095 core steel, ironwood, titanium and maple handle. Good HT and has a nice hard feel on the stones. Absolute beast of a cutter:

 

[Badgertooth]

Not a 100% certain if I posted this but boy oh boy, this is a little belter. Definitely the thinnest Kato I’ve seen. 165mm nakiri
