Hatsukokoro Yorokobi, seems like a new line from maker of Komorebi with even thicker spine and a copper demascus, 5mm out of the handle to 2.5ish for the rest of the blade

Just acquired for the upcoming Battle of the Giants!
Absolutely stunning. Are those his 5-Steel damascus?
Damn, I wish I could have snagged a k-tip. I got the 230mm gyuto. It is really nicely finished and the ootb edge is about a million times better than the Yoake line. Only cut a couple things real quick, but it looks promising.
Game over, @Brian Weekley wins. Those are gorgeous and probably cut just as well as they look.
I do not believe so. Rader’s 5 Steel blades are marked as such. He referred to these as his “Chaotic Pattern Damascus”. To be honest I don’t even remember what steels he used and the number of layers. The knives speak for themselves. Absolute beauties … worth every bit of the long wait.
Are these the result of one of your 50 for 1 sales?
We will find out … I’m still assembling MS knives for the upcoming Battle of the Giants! The best of the best go up against the Great Slap down winners … Bidinger and Kamon. See the Naughty Schoolboy thread for details.

When did Mazaki get his M.S.?
It is plus some. There will have to be some more A+ offerings hit BST to help repair my badly damaged bank account.

I found my unicorn, and I shall name it Kaiju.
Tetsujin Hamono So-Kasumi Aogami #2 gyuto 270mm
273 grams, 260mm x 54mm, it's an excellent mid-weight workhorse with a thicker Myojin grind towards the heel. First true kasumi finished knife and I am really digging the minimalist look.

Love the grind on these! Does copper rust in kitchen use?
Thanks for the info. They are quite the pair. Can’t wait to see the results of the MS challeng!

It doesn’t it’s using Sld with stainless jacket
This is really nice. Good specs.
I also picked up these two to do battle against their brethren in the Battle of the Giants.
Well... I didn't really buy this, a friend who has been on a trip to Brazil gave me this as a gift. A thin and light carbon steel chef knife by Tramontina. Some form of (anti-rust?) coating on the blade that will have to be cleaned of tomorrow, as well as a sharpening session I think.

I'd been considering trying a HD2 again in a 210 when I can across this b-stock 240 with a cracked handle.
Going to put a new handle on it and see how it performs. Grind is a bit more right biased than I remember so I'll have to see.
The crack is to about half way down the handle. As a lefty though I don't even notice it.

I was tempted by this as well. What a sweeeeet one. The weight REALLY got me good.
New to me Devin Thomas arrived today. Thanks to @thebradleycrew for the opportunity to try a DT. Can’t wait to put it to work.

I've been having a blast with it, just enough weight to fall through items, but light enough to stay nimble. Great stuff!
I agree, it’s my preferred weight for a daily driver. Everything works so well at that approximate weight range.

It's kind of killed the hunt for more knives for me since it really suits all my needs and preferences. All I need now is to replace the handle with a higher quality ebony then it will be perfect.
Milan convex full kasumi 288 x 60. Blade is very stiff but not a chonker. Tapers from 4mm at the heel down to 0.7mm. 300g. Total delight to use.

I’m in awe. What a beautifully understated knife, which I’m sure is executed to the highest standards. Congratulations for landing this one!
