Show your newest knife buy

[M1k3]

Yeah, that's what I mean, I like seeing the working knives like these ones, not the ones that are so exxy people won't ever use them.

But I know others like the unicorns. We're a broad church here, right?

One man's unicorn is another man's beater. Beater knife. Not the domestic kind of beating.

Picked up this beauty from Mr. Maumasi ... seriously was an absolutely amazing process & final product is everything I could have hoped for ... sorry for the iphone pic's but I have been busy moving up to the PNW ... well worth the 1300 mile drive up ;-)

Blade is forged from damasteel dense twist with handle/saya from CA buckeye ... he added stainless & g10 accents to both ... stupid amazing work ...View attachment 97600View attachment 97601View attachment 97602

Beautiful. The saya is amazing

Wow if I ever get to see an original Kramer as a beater knife.

Guess you don't remember the $250K Bordain Kramer beater. Cracked saya thrown in

 

[tchan001]

I bet the guy who bought it for $250k isn't treating it as a beater.

 

[Corradobrit1]

If you're a billionaire, $250K is chump change

 

[tchan001]

If you are a billionaire why would you even spend time with kitchen knives. Plenty of other things to keep you busy.
If billionaires want to collect, they usually collect expensive items which in times of need they can use as collateral to get a bank loan. I doubt a $250k kitchen knife will be acceptable bank collateral.

This arrived today..

Heel - 55mm
Blade length - 275mm

I also got the Mazaki JNS style - at first glance, me no like overall looks. Much prefer CKC Nashiji. But performance yet to be seen.

I have another Mazaki coming next week - maybe that will drive decision

But will test drive - do I hear BST call its

name? Too early to tell

I’ve never been a konosuke guy but the gyutos in this line definitely interest me. It’s nice to have stainless options at work.

Incredible, do you have closer up pics of the blade? How exactly did he work the damasteel?

It’s also rewarding to be able to support such a humble and down to earth smith. He seems like a really good guy.

270 Toyoma SS clad doing a compare/contrast with a similar Mazak and selling the loser(I think I already know which one it is)

any update on the mazaki comparison? Should be a good one

Yes, the old one is about to fall apart.

Is this white or stainless?

 

[tchan001]

Looked like a Maumasi version of River Jump.

 

[damiano]

I'm more interested in seeing the knives people are buying for the benefit of their particular utility/advantages/benefits in use, not just because they're adding "unicorns" to their collections, TBH.

Ahem.. My first picture here, so don't make fun.. Munetoshi JNS 165mm petty. Feels pretty tactile when cutting. Satisfied so far.

 

[juice]

I'll grant it COULD be a unicorn if we get @cotedupy to do a blue resin-infused handle for it, maybe. Or do you know a handles guy?
