It's

If it makes you feel any better, it is wedgy AF, so I'm gonna have deal with that PITA...

My 240 arrived (on sale from Sugi Cutlery, not direct), and this does NOT make me feel better because mine is also a wedging machine. How do you plan on addressing? Not sure how to thin it without destroying the unique grind!

So this batch is quite consistent. I guess so many buyers ask for workhorse styles that they start to make them all like that.

Could also be down to the fact that Denka and Mabs are inhouse forged, and the main guy doing this work has left TF. Just a guess, but might explain the change in specs.

Hahahaha. I was expecting questions about the knife itself but not about the 3€ plate holder from IKEA….

Arrived this week:

I was eyeing this one at Crocker for a while…love the profile and everything.

I mean, the knife is beautiful but it happens I have been looking for a cheap and nice knife holder like that.

Thanks for the help!

It’s called OSTBIT:

I am sure one can drill holes into the short bits and put mini magnets inside, close with some glue and sawdust…

Very much appreciated. Great idea.

If that’s the case I’m happy to see that. This is my 3rd TF and also the nicest one in term of forge. Very straight spine and centered edge. Cladding exposed core steel nice and even. The edge of my previous 2 TF (3mm thick regulars) were both not centered and the cladding was a little wonky as well almost on edge in some area.

It needs to be thinned. I don't know how I'm going to go about it, will probably end up paying someone. I've never thinned a knife before and I don't relish using this one as a lab rat. I heard that District Cutlery does it, I might swing by there the next time I'm in DC. I'm in no real hurry, I still enjoy using this knife for things other than hard veggies and have other nice gyutos as well.

Me too, I had been eyeing this one since someone put it up on the Knife findings thread. I looked at it for 2 weeks. Little Yoda on my right shoulder said, „Resist you must“. And I did. But temptation of the dark side of the Force was way too big. Now, call me Darth Daddy!!!

 

[OldSaw]

Teruyasu Fujiwara Maboroshi 210mm gyuto.

Hitohira Togashi White 1 Stainless Clad Kasumi Gyuto 240mm View attachment 182293

What are your thoughts on this? I had one of the first batches but ended up selling because it wasnt my style, although I loved the stainless kasumi finish

 

[Bensonhai]

Shoichi Hashimoto "Yuzan" 240mm Gyuto so sexy it hurts

 

[Greasylake]

Description made this knife seem like a 240-270 but when it arrived I thought it looked long for a 270, sure enough it's a 350mm. I guess I own a tuna yanagiba now

 

[ReiHamono]

Bigger knives are better, change my mind!

 

[D J]

Not in the same league as above knives. Gesshin Heiji 150mm

 

[PeterL]

Picked up in person from Yanick. Wrought clad 135Cr3. Handle is bubinga and ebony with a buxus spacer.

Length heel to tip: 230mm
Height at heel: 53mm
Weight: 204g

Decent bit lighter offering than my other one from him. 204g vs 230g. Feels quite nimble with a very thin and precise tip.

 

[Homechef]

Kitchen scalpel from Mr Harner. F&F on the handle is very nice and the OOTB edge cleanly cuts paper towel.

 

[63falcon]

My first Halcyon.

 

[PeterL]

Z-wear western gyuto from @HSC /// Knives. Love this knife from the limited use so far! Harbeer was an absolute pleasure to deal with and very kindly accommodated me and waited to ship it to me until I was back in France. Fun grind with a good balance of flat and convex with nice taper towards the tip. Feels pretty tough in use too. Stabilised mango wood handle.

Length heel to tip: 200mm
Height at heel: 51mm
Weight: 186g

 

[PeterL]

Last one to have come in while I've been in France. First Raquin I've used. Love the handle, haven't used the blade enough yet to articulate my thoughts on it. I think it's meant to be his regular ish grind. 125sc with XC10 cladding satin finish.

Length heel to tip: 195mm
Height at heel: 45mm
Weight: 153g

Sakai Kikumori Yugiri, surprisingly substantial but cuts like a laser.

In addition to the bunch of cleavers from last month, also got some more cool stuff for future handles

[Barashka]

Nordquist Design 240 in magnacut.
A pretty thing that is.
Tip is a laser, right up there with shibata.
Heal is deceptive .. feels thinner through product then photo would suggest.
S grind (milled) does wonders for food release, not quite kamon but very very close, grooves in s grind are finer then I expected.
No comment on steel yet, maybe in 6 months I'll see how it holds up.
