Man being in Hawaii probably helped with the time zone thing...I stayed up till 4am here in central with no luck. Glad someone on here got one at least.

I mean they dropped only a few hours past his Nine Honesuki drop. If I remember correctly the Nine drop was like 9 am EST?

Except this one was technically a day off after he said the drop was happening pretty sure

It was like 5am for west coast, and I happen to have a thing for ship anchors. Stayed and missed, sadly.

Been a while since I shared new purchases, so here’s a partial family photo featuring a couple of the new ones

How do you like the Northside?

Don't worry there will be more to come ...

I love it. I also have a 170mm sheffcut Honyaki from him. He’s one of my favorite makers. A pleasure to deal with, affordable, and a very quality product. I have 2 more customs I plan on getting from him in the near future.

Got lucky on the latest Bidinger draw, 240 Magnacut

I got lucky and managed to pick up this “plain” Gyuto from Aaron Wilburn. Approximately 220mm long from 52100 steel and featuring Wilburn’s immaculate craftsmanship. A few more pics …

I have long been looking for a knife from Wilburn that could spend some time as a daily user in my kitchen. The same knife would also be eligible to participate in my upcoming Battle of the Giants great potato master smith event. I previously picked up a Wilburn for this purpose … a Damascus masterpiece, which I was having problems with the idea of making a daily user. Problem solved … I think. Here are a couple of pics of the two Wilburns together.

… and a pic of the two Wilburns hanging out together on my magnetic knife rack from Will Newham.

A few made in the USA ODCs I tracked down locally (top to bottom: Washington Cutlery Co Village Blacksmith 12" behemoth, Clyde Cutlery Hammer Forged ~11" chef's, Russell Green River Bullnose):

Takin down some trees with that thing?

It is currently sporting a very hatchet-esque grind. I'm arguing with myself on the modifications/keeping it close to original, but either way it's going to be thinned from where it's currently at.

First Spare and the attention to detail is amazing. I can’t wait to try this out tonight

Shibata 185mm bunka in today to accompany the 130mm ko bunka. It’s close to my 10-year old Takeda funayuki in size, and the TF is a favorite knife. And the wild olive stand for them both from an Etsy seller in the Ukraine.

I got to borrow a northside a few months back and immediately put my name down for a custom. I was very impressed how it clicked with me. Lucas is on the come up for sure

Cladding WWII Japanese ship anchor chain

The bevel looks really good and the geometry is very different from anything I’ve ever seen

I’m curious if I might be able to go straight to natural stones with this one

Very sad I didn’t get one of these. Absolutely brilliant looking knives

Any chance you have some more pictures of the handles?

Who is the smith/maker for the knife on top. Not familiar with the mark. Dalman collab with someone? Sort of looks like a cursive D.

Edit: Thanks, and what a beautiful knife. The handle on that HSC

I too just received my first Spare and love it probably more than any other knife I’ve used (bunka that looks very similar to yours). What were your first thoughts after trying this one out?

My first but probably not last Spare

 

[Steve56]

Yamashin 175mm (actually about 172) White #1 Bunka, a heavier, ‘cleaverish‘ knife almost twice as thick as the R2 Shibatas above the heel. Should be good for heavier work, and for under $100 who can complain? It needs some TLC as most cheap knives do, but no problem, just a nice afternoon job. It’s fairly thick down to the grind, which is fine for heavier work.

My wife was on holiday in Japan so I begged her to do some shopping in Tokyo and Sakai for me. TF Denka 210 gyuto,Takada no Hamono 90mm petty, and some wasabi rhizomes for a nice treat!
