Show your newest knife buy

So this was the project knife from your WTB?

One of them, yea.

I thought the handle was missing the requisite gunk deposits for it to be a TF...
Hats off to you for getting that convex so nice.
Still, troll, post a few pics of the side

This was just a first try at doing this, and at figuring out how to work my belt sander in some new ways. So it’s not my best work - I grazed a little more of the blade than I wanted to, although the geometry’s still mostly fine, just scratched up a bit. It’s also just at the rough metal removal stage here. Anyway, I learned a lot!

I can’t take any credit for the convex side.

Ha! I had a completely different mental image... I was completely fooled by the choil (but really bolster) shot.

Nice job on that bolster reduction. May I suggest leaving the right side as is for ultimate right hand bias

The postman dropped those wile I was hotel quarantined
Birgersson blade 225 and Migoto cutlery 240 blu2

 

[wombat]

Yesterday’s arrival with last night’s patina. 250mm Birgersson, warikomi. Pretty blues and muted greys developing, no dust patina here. Cheers @Birgersson Blades !

Beautiful!

Curious about the Migoto since it looks the roughest of their bunch

The Ku finish on the blade is really smooth, spine and choil are ease as well.
Will report on performance when back at work

This was a gift over XMas but figured I’d share now. At first I thought I wouldn’t love it as it’s VG10 and a tojiro but I was flat wrong. It’s a nimble fun knife and I actually love the shorter height.

I really like his knives - what is the handle on this one

 

[drsmp]

@RockyBasel The handle is ash

 

[RockyBasel]

thanks

I did not need to see that the Toyama 180 nakiri was on sale ...

Received a delivery from France today “mais bien sure”

C130
280x60
280 gm

When I see "C130", my first thought is of something almost exactly a hundred times longer, and weighing about two hundred thousand times as much when fully loaded.

You could install four large turboprops on your knife, but they might affect the balance if not positioned carefully.

I thought the same thing and looked it up to make sure.

just realized my typo! It’s a big mother plane indeed

Typo? I think you were correct all the time. In fact I think the plane is normally written with a hyphen, and the steel is not. It just happened to remind me.

No typo! That's the steel, it's just after hearing C130 meaning one thing for so many years, you assume the thing you hear the most.

Today I had to go to the post office twice because - no kidding - the postman was too lazy to ring at my door although I was home the whole day... But what am I complaining about, I have a job and I am healthy, and going to the post office twice a day keeps me fit!

EDIT:
Tojiro 465g
CCK KF1303 255g

I've had a cleaver before, Sugimoto #6, which I couldn't get used to, it had to go. Now I'm back at cleavers with 2 new additions to my knife collection.
The Tojiro one is stainless and weighs 465g. First impression: feels pretty much the same as my Sugimoto.
The CCK one is supernimble, light, and despite its simplicity, non-existing F&F and its plain and boring standard handle which I had planned to remove, looks pretty cool and adds a new cleaver impression to my experience. This one will stay!!!

I have much more expensive cleavers including the one from your man crush B. Kamon but recently I’ve been going back to the CCK a lot. It’s a no nonsense tool and agreed: it’s just very nimble.

I like how it's still in the box, thus kind of cancelling the reason for it being stainless.

We’re discussing a cleaver, Ben and I...

Finally was able to take this Mazaki Damascus Blue#1 300mm Yanagiba out of the box. Beautiful box- knife is ok too
