Not usually into western handles but my word, that tapered tang and sculpted handle has curves in all the right places. Ooh la la.257 / 57 / 280g of @KAMON Knives - @martinhuber collab madness:

Thank you. I couldn't agree more, although I like all of them.
But this one was "our" common idea, @KAMON Knives, myself, and, uhm, yeah, Martin, too (I chose this order of priority on purpose): I wanted this hammer finish, I wanted this silver blade finish, I supplied this particular block of African Blackwood from burlsource (have I mentioned that I really miss burlsource?), and I chose silver (!) pins for my build. This is where @martinhuber chimes in and ruins the whole thing by taking golden pins although we had everything fixed in written.
In all honesty, yes, he took the wrong pins - but I am SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY that he took the golden pins because seeing it with my own eyes, everything is just perfect, and the silver ones would not have been half as good... Thank you, Martin! I really mean it and I owe you!

Kagekiyo B1 Damascus Etched
This one came out way thinner than my W#2, I'm gonna be so afraid to apply pressure when sharpening time comes

HVB 275x38 suji - this is my first suji & first knife by Mert. This thing feels incredible, the rounding of the spine and choil is perfect and the handle size/shape is perfect for the blade. I’m very excited to use this, now I just need to get something big enough to warrant it!
Edit - should I host a PA of this? When it popped up on Knife findings a few people seemed like this was something they’d use/try.

I hope you engraved your signature drawing somewhere in the scales. 8===D
New to me Xerxes Primus 2. Had some pretty heavy patina, so I BKFed it. Saw some banding so couldn’t resist doing a bit of polishing Probably won’t take it farther since using it will erase my efforts. Pretty tough to photograph it
Nice Job on the polishing. What was your progress?
Started with BKF, then 2k->3k->4k diamond paste. Then cycles of etch and polish. I think what ended up being the best was hot dilute (1:1) apple cider vinegar with soap, followed by rubbing with dry stone powder. I tried also stone powder with lemon juice as a polish step, which didn’t bring out the hamon but did good for banding. I also tried diamond paste which brought out the hamon but erased the banding.
I wasn’t expecting for this to arrive today but here it is. Kagekiyo Blue 1 Damascus with Ebony, Horn Ferrule and end cap, Triple Silver Rings. One of the knives that pictures doesn’t do justice at all. I was struggling taking good pics of the knife due to it’s color(Black) and lighting didn’t want to cooperate.

Ayy all the cool kids getting kagekiyo dama these days. Only a few more days till I can actually use mine...lol
Im sick and tired of Togashi so it’s just fitting!
I need the otherKagekiyo B1 Dama now!Great looking knife! Do you have any info on your knife blocks? Really liking those!
The one in the back is the Jones. The other two are the Sticks and Boards (?) I bought from Knifewear. The Jones one has more slots but they're a bit too close to each other so it's hard to use them all. Because of that, I prefer the Sticks and Boards one, although the Jones one is a bit nicer looking.Great looking knife! Do you have any info on your knife blocks? Really liking those!
Thank you! That looks like quite the collection you have!
If damascus can be described as classy, this will be it.
Finally got my paws on a 240 Makoto Ryusei. It feels like a completely different knife than my 210 version, not just an upsized same knife. 235x51 and blade heavy, the grind goes up higher than I thought it would and just on shaving brussels last night it had less stiction issues than my S. Tanaka and Kochi I was comparing against it. I meant as just a catch and release to satisfy curiosity but I may end up keeping it, I've been happy with the VG7 steel on the 210 I've had for a while.

Raquin somewhere between KT and Regular:
250mm x 60mm 145sc / Wrought Iron
Choil looks very righty biased, and I'm a righty. I don't feel any steering, but then again... would I?
Grind (as described by Raquin) is somewhere between KT and Regular, which tracks at least from my experience with his KT grind.
There's a bit of wedging in denser produce, but what it lacks in that department, it more than makes up for in the food separation and food release department.
