Haven’t yet shown it here: ~240 Morihei Hisamoto with custom handle, bought here on BST
Additional shots ... again special thx to Mr Thomas for being willing to produce such beautiful pieces of functional art and hopefully getting healthier / day-by-day (which is far more important).
My apologies for the use of my iphone ... doesn't do them justice but I obviously already have a pretty deep rabbit hole so not going that route.

Fuku Knives Aogami Super 180mm
New to me via BST:
Mazaki 180 Nakiri White#2
Received yesterday afternoon, spent about an hour on the stones leveling/ sharpening the cutting edge & polishing up the bevels. There’s a lil factory grind mark on each side in the same place about 2” up from the heel.
Sorry for the blur, there’s oil on the blade. I’m about to see if I can make her a little more pretty with some makeup while I’m watching the Tour de France…

I got into this thread about 3-4 months ago, started somewhere in the middle and scrolled through every page when I had some time to kill. Today I am finally done. Now it’s time to post my latest knife.
I sliced some onions and seared chicken breast for blue patina, cutting feel is very good. Glides very smoothly through onions. I am very happy with the purchase as I had my eyes on this beauty for a long time.
Family shot at the end.

What's the height on it?
It’s the extra height version. 51mm
Dan Prendergast Integral
206x56 mm
260g
W2 core with mild steel cladding
Anglian Bog Oak handle
Feels nice in the hand, not the thinnest knife I've got, nice bit of heft to it.

Very happy to leave a note about this one:
From KnS Australia, to Canada. Six open days with DHL, only 30$ custom process fees - about equivalent to 7% of the knife's value.
Very well packed and shipped the same day I ordered.
Edit: bought with EOFY21 sale at 10% off. Was already quite keen to pay the full price back when AUD and CAD were about 1:1 but had other priorities; months later that unexpected occasion and a bit favorable exchange were timely. Paid for Paypal conv fees and DHL custom processing and with a few dollars left still.

Which steel is this?
This the AS version. They might have missed a clue with the box's color. But blue seems to already be occupied by their SG2 line... 
New (to me) kono ys-m, traded for on BST with @superworrier (thanks dude!) Got a summer bbq thing coming up tonight, time for a test drive

That's sexy as hell!
So it ended with you! Great buy!
Thanks gents, the 210 in this series has been calling my name for a while. Stars finally aligned!
Want to add a shoutout for @superworrier on the trade too. Newer member but great comms, fast shipping, knife exactly as described etc. Deal with confidence

A peeler from Tobbe i Åre, when I visited the mountains last week, where he has his workshop. Well, actually my wife bought it, so even better for me
He works in local materials like spruce and reindeer for handles, and Damasteel for the blades. Funny thing is that I got a DM from him when I was up there, asking if I would like to drop by and visit him. We don’t follow each other on IG, so he had seen a pic where I tagged Undersåkers charcuterie (a local charcuterie, really good stuff) when I was cutting some salami with a Raquin that caught his eye. Anyway, his waiting list is about a year long, but they had a peeler for sale at the charcuterie, so we picked it up the day after. Really neat little thing. And he’s a really nice guy too.
First the peeler I bought, then some of his other work from his work shop.

I see a very similar "oyster shucker" on his work bench to the one I got from him ... beautiful work / great person to work with ... very jealous you were at his shop & amazing little petty your wife picked up for you ... that work bench looks like it has seen some things! Thx for sharing!
Digging these. But I'll admit I much prefer his older maker's mark over the new one. It would be pretty dope if he did both, one on either side of the blade.
It's so bubbly I'm going to die!
Always a big fan of bubbles. Firm believer that every day is a good day for bubbles.
And three DT bubbles? Now THAT'S a set to envy
Kohetsu b2 tall 240 - heavy duty, blade fwd with girth. Those with carpal tunnel/tennis elbow be forewarned.
8.08oz, 55.7mm tall 4.2mm at the heel and 2.2 at the mid. The tip isn’t awesome tho. Some cool stuff going on. It’s an interesting low cost option for folks looking for a heavyish carbon stainless clad gyuto. Hello Mazaki lovers.

Looks like the cheaper version of a Jiro…

I actually thought about that one. Just because I could use some decent cheaper blades for work that are ss clad. I’m just hesitant with kohetsu. I bought one a couple years ago and it wedged in everything. The tip was horrible.
