Decided to check out our new member F.Vaz, a young smith who recently joined us. Almost all of my collection is Western makers and I think I’ve found a very talented artist who has been a pleasure to work with.

I wanted a traditional chef style with western handle 210-220 mm. After discussion, we decided on w2 steel and Ebony handle. The result blew me away! Perfect size and balance, top notch fit and finish, and a screaming sharp edge. Definitely a keeper and probably not my last from him.

While visiting Kamon I got my Custom by @martinhuber
The wood block I sent him looked different when cut but we went with the theme, also wth the saya. Came out quite awesome
Apex Ultra stainless clad
Amboina Sapwood
Walkschliff, convex grind, nice taper to the front
236x56mm

Merion Forge 265mm x 62mm 335g in 1.2842 with wrought iron cladding that I got from @Alder26. It arrived right before I started cooking dinner last night, and I didn’t take any pictures before I used it, so it has some patina on it. I might give it a light thinning and try my best to give it a good polish. I have never had a workhorse knife that is this heavy, and I think that it complements my Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo 270mm gyuto that is much thinner/lighter.

Had a double NKD today, this day will stay in my memorie.
Toyama Stainless Clad 210mm and a Toyama 240mm Dammy.
This is my second 240mm Dammy because I was an idiot and sold the first one. This thing will stay!

All said and done, I think Toyama makes some of the best all-purpose knives. I particularly like his dammys- soft convex grind, razor sharp, joy to use each time - he won’t be making them for too long, so grab them while you can😊
 
I think I may have snagged my first true unicorn...

Billipp Split-Frame 240mm x 63mm K tip
Ironwood handle with copper rivets
Weight: 316g
Overall Length: 368mm
Balance point: 3mm behind the B of Maker's Mark

I was a little apprehensive about pulling the trigger on this one, but the split tang handle feels wonderful in hand, balance is ever so slightly blade forward in a pinch grip... it's truly a work of art.

Right place, right time I guess. He had it up on his Instagram last week. I had been an admirer of his work for a while, but nothing really stood out to me until this one. It's probably serendipity that this one spoke to me, and was available.

Sometimes I just can’t resist an unusual knife :). Michael at Knife Japan got a few of these in while we were exchanging some emails about his offerings from Okubo and others. I asked myself why wouldn’t I get this gigantic knife? To which I had no answer. After all, it isn’t even half the size of my 600 mm Turkish mincing knife, and this knife fills a hole between my 300 g Wakui Seiryu and the 1500 g Turkish knife. You never know when you’ll need to process lots of bamboo shoots, either. That’s about all I can say about this one, haha.

Yeah, it’s awesome. I thought I’d be disappointed for the price but it really performs and has a refined and rustic aesthetic all at once. It’s also my only knife with a walrus penis bone ferrule.
