I had the same complex as I am a relatively néw member / but I always asked like you, and soon I learned
now I am giving back
the first knife is a Kiyoshi Kato (Y Fujiwara) WH Gyuto - considered a unicorn knife by my standards
the second one is a Xerses - made by the inimitable Jannis Scholz
Glad it found a new home, hope you enjoy it!

LMK in the future if you decide to resell
I’m no longer interested in full reactive carbon, but if I have to own one, this KS Fujiyama is what I’m looking for
That carrot is a mutant.
Asian sweet carrot ... don’t know if that is the correct name but you should be able to find them in any grocery store that caters to the Asian community. Perfect for casserole’s.
whoops, fixed, sorry
Kochi. I'm thinning the gyuto atm so the finish is a bit different.
It was called a petty, but I'd call this a ko-bunka. Chloe Kim Muteki. 143x44, 109g

Uhm... those were on sale 5 hours ago!?!!!Please show your Kaiju here, don't be shy.
I have the strong feeling that these blades were sold locally.
Finally dove into the custom maker pool and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Rob is one hell of a craftsmen. 260x55mm, 5.2mm out of the handle, about 260 grams, bog oak handle, and wrought iron over 1.2519.
I’m in love.

Don’t insult the Bird’s work. You don’t want to see us when we’re peckish.
If will throw snowballs at Santa.
What’s to stop us from throwing Kemadis at Panda.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.....Can't we all get along? No murderous rage necessary here! Panda is probably just still grumpy because they took his team's name and didnt come-up with anything better to replace it. And besides....that is a $500+ knife! We don't want it chipped on his helmet!
One of the things that a custom handle (or saya) provides for a knife enthusiast is the ability to project a distinct, creative reflection of their personality. And let's be honest, it draws attention to our prized collection. I am an aging (a bit too rapidly) broken down cook with conservative tastes, so my kit has a lot of beautiful, yet naturally colored handles and saya. Dc2123 is a young man, who is fun, and expressive, and on the wild side. His kit displays a more zesty brightness. To each his own.
For those of us who use a knife for a living, when it comes right down to it, a handle is the interface to an essential tool. And regardless of how you feel about the colors or material of "The Joker", it feels good in hand, a good and comfortable grip that will that make that knife a prep machine.

My first Toyama finally arrived after one-month wait.
Toyama Stainless Clad Blue #2 270mm Gyuto. Finally able to try one out after hearing all the nice things about his work.
Huge monster could hardly fit into its box lol.

Wow! Amazing knife - I did not know he was even taking orders. It is an amazing looking knife - would love to hear more about its performance in due course
It's a different animal than my other FM. Heavier, a hint thicker, feels more like a mid weight vs the feather (W1). Love the lower tip.
Here's what i got- the taper goes from 3mm over heel, to 2.5 over the mid to 2.0 around 40mm from the tip. Then things get skinny.
I got SUPER lucky to get in his books last year. I am still kinda shocked that he had an opening in July when I started talking to him.

How tall is that knife at the heel? God I love tall stout 270's.
My 'dream' knife suddenly became possible ... can't thank the Maker (Devin) & Steel designer (Dr. Larrin) enough for the amazing collaboration!! Had to post a pic of the gyuto with an (AEB-L) suji that I also recently received just because the pair is perfect for me ... crazy great workmanship ....
