BBQ Mazaki from BST. Quick pass on a hard Aizu and good to go. My second one and this profile is simply a good time on the board.

Very nice colleXXXion. I have been curious since he floated into the massdrop conversation, I remember him from the Saltydog days but they've always eluded me for some reason.
I‘ve had many more Devin’s knives through out the years and I think they are great. Some of the best heat treats on all sorts of steels and they work for me. I like the profiles and the grinds are very good general purpose grinds. For a steel junkie like myself very few others work with as many different steels. In this hobby everything is very personal and subjective, we all have our favorites and these are some of mine.
Sorry for the terrible photos, lighting in my condo is garbage lol.

DT stainless chevron gyuto has been one I’ve chased for over 10 years. Agreed, his work is among the top in the business. A fond memory, back in 2013 I did a tasting menu for a new job. Originally planned 3 courses, as requested, but instead I got ambitious and banged out 9 including dessert. The one knife I brought with me was an ITK in AEB-l. It was what I felt most comfortable with in being the one knife for all tasks needed, without needing to be babied.
Outstanding lot you have there.

Flatter profile than a lot of Will's knives, a little taller, and that hamon just pops.

Purchased from BST a 240 Toyama Damascus Blue #2 Gyuto with a Bog Oak Handle and Saya from Sean @portercustoms.
This is the way!
Snagged the Yoake off of the home butcher’s IG story sale. 267 grams, 255x55. Love this knife and will say to anyone interested that these are unapologetically hand made knives that come with some wabi sabi like squiggly spines and uneven grinds (middle of the knife is ground thinner in the middle than the heel and tip). But I like the character. Haven’t tried it yet but I dig it already.
The last week of addiction arrivals has been good:
I'm afraid my phone won't cooperate on the spine shots. Top to bottom:
230mm x 75mm 52100 equivalent Markgantoku (Markin)
267mm x 60mm 1.2519 Kamon gyuto
232mm x 54mm Hatsukokoro Yorokobi SLD gyuto

The Markin is really nicely done, true to form. I wanted something smaller than my Gigantoku (it's an amazing knife, but sometimes I want something a little smaller), but bigger than the Brad Leone cleaver or imitation tinker tank I enjoy messing around with at times. I have a couple that I'm working on making that are similar profiles, but won't hold a candle to Benjamin or Andrei's work.@xsmx13 very nice! The grind on that Markin looks stellar. So thin, even, and tall AF. One day I'll score a Kamon
As for BST Kamon's, while I'll never say never, this one along with something in the pipeline have likely put me out of the game. In fact, I'm considering dropping a package with another Kamon in the near future.

Yup. And it's strange as he uses welded on stainless tangs so it's no to protect the tang from rust.

Weird.
I received my Takamura today as well
I used it to cut onions.I received my Takamura today as well
The edge is very smooth and the grind allows a very good penetration ability.
Moreover, the knife is very light.
Happy with my purchase so far.
