Seriously superb work from @Illyria. Amazing in hand. I can’t emphasize enough how good the fit / finish on this knife feels. Probably the best feeling choil I’ve ever experienced. Looking forward to cooking many meals with this knife

I mean it's no TF handle but it'll do I guess...
This looks incredible. My RDG from a few years ago is truly stellar and I can only imagine that his work has reached a new level since then. I hope you love this knife!New RDG

…and if you don’t, DM me!
Got these in over the weekend. Takada No Hamono 240mm Damascus and Takeda 240mm gyuto (classic version). Won’t be able to use them for a while, as I’m leaving town tomorrow, but glad they came in before I left!
Nice cutting board, too!

Sorry about that pineapple pizza thing
nice! how is the in-hand feeling?
I'll do a little write up on the KJ thread but they are light and nimble. Only did a quick cut so can't go much deeper.
Lots of lacquer.

Congrats buddy. That is a beautiful knife.
I like everything about this. Gorgeous hamon, profile, handle, serious weight... I've been enjoying my western Shig-inspired LaSeur a lot but this is pretty next level.
Can you take more pics of that LaSeur? That one looked awesome too
I need a Laseur now. Damnit.
Two arrivals yesterday: Isasmedjan 1.2419.05 & wrought iron 243x56 201g masur birch (April pre-order), and Tetsujin 270 k-tip 262x56 266g rosewood. My heaviest gyuto, kinda funny that my Tetsujin 240 is my lightest at 157g!
I haven't used either yet. Liking both handles a lot. The Tetsujin was kind of an impulse buy, I'm sure it's a veggie slayer but I already have a couple veggie slayers. It was just too cool to not buy when it was 15% off at Tetogi. Anyway, sorry for the *****y night time photography.

This is super sweet!! Congratulations
I KNOW RIGHT!
New(to me)knife day
very sweettttt. What's the thickness @spine?
Does this need an introduction? Newham 26c3 Spicy White @ 65HRC. 245x57 and 211g
No one was home to sign for this guy yesterday so I rescheduled for today, my birthday. Couldn’t be a better gift (that I got myself).
The blade and handle oils were a nice touch, along with the care card.
Thank you @xsmx13 for convincing me to get this beast.

Happy bday!
Thanks! Day off, new knife and quality time with my 9mo old? Couldn’t get better!
And yes I used the new knife to make us lunch. A salad for me and (bland) mashed potatoes for the little one
On the Tetsujin? I measured 3.6mm at the heel, without much taper so fairly blade heavy (drew a line at the balance point):
(EDIT: the tip does get nicely thin though, as it's way off the spine)
(EDIT: pic was a little off so replaced it with a new one showing the true balance point)

Hahaha my bad. On the isasmedjan
Haha, no worries. The Isasmedjan is 5.3mm at the handle, 4.1 at heel, 2.2 about halfway between heel and tip, and about 0.9 one cm from the tip. Nice taper. Balance point pretty much at the paw.
