London is bit ahead in time so 2:30pm 8/3 in London should be 10:30 pm 8/2 in LA, still very fast tho.

Mono 52100, Forged, thermal cycled, normalized, DET annealed, heat treated +cryo, ~62.5 hrc. Bright machine finish, wa handles, convex grind, full distal taper, balance point at the name stamp. ~275g +/- ~250 x ~55 mm. Was lucky enough to claim one.
Oh my goodness … three of Devin’s treasures! Apex Ultra or MagnaCut?

You picked up all 3 of these??
Edited original post - I snagged one of these (middle).
I saw these on Instagram - they are 52100 monosteel.

And it’s a beauty indeed. Great pickup!
The right one is on way to me
nice weight for a 220! is the balance point closer to the handle?

It skews more neutral but still has forward balance to it. Feels nimble in hand.

Nice touch with the light handle part. Did it come like that or did you sand off some of the burnt wood in that area?

It came that way, he didn’t burn that part. Perfectly flush bolster

Nothing flashy - Toyama 212mm x 51mm Gyuto. My third Toyama. I put Toyama knives in the Guy Clark song category - "Stuff That Works."

Kagekiyo ginsan with Myojin's convex grind and 'ribbed for pleasure' carved handle arrived today from @labor of love. Been looking for a good convex ground 225-230 stainless gyuto as a lazy one-and-done option and I think this will do nicely...

Zakuri Sabaki Bocho, little boning workhorse, Jon have rounded spine and choil for me. Very nice in the hand.
I love my Gesshin Uraku that received additional thinning by Jon, it's basically the perfect knife for me. Thanks @minibatataman, for the sale in 2019
But I wanted something more rustic, i.e. non-stainless. After searching in the market for a while, and resisting the urge to splurge on a masamoto, I transferred some funds to bluewayjapan. In return, they sent me an Ashi Shirogami 240. I love it already. It actually is even thinner than the Uraku, and with the patina, it's just perfect.

Enjoying my day off sharpening up my @MSicardCutlery 01 gyuto HADO wh1 Junpaku and testing out a cerax 1k/3k combo I bought for my kitchen staff.
Cerax combo is crazy good for the price. I’m tempted to keep it.

Fredrik Spåre I suppose.
How do you like the Junpaku compare the Kagekiyo?

Close call. Kagekiyo thinner pure cutter, Junpaku much thinner and lighter than my OUL ginsanko and I suppose HADO ginsanko. Junpaku faux bevel finish is not optimal and will be removed soon-can’t give it a full assessment until that happens. Tanaka wh1 is really great, so on that reason alone I had to walk away from ginsan

indeed
Another new knife day for me! 
Hitohira Togashi White 1 Damascus 240mm Gyuto with Ebony and Buffalo horn ferrule. I came across this knife and had a good price tag that couldn’t pass on it.
