TxK migaki blue #1 240
TxK SS blue #1 240
Togashi SS blue #1 240
Kagekiyo dammy blue #1 240
Tetsujin blue #2 240
Migoto white #1 240

Am I just confused or do I not recall seeing you have WTS posts for TxK, Togashi, Kagekiyo, and Tetsujin in the last few months? No shade, just curious what made you re-evaluate and add them back to your armamentarium

I found some that better fit my size and weight preferences. I like 'em on the heavy side. ;o)

Added the 180mm Toyama Nakiri from Zahocho, very pleased. 180x60 185gr

237x57 @ 222g with a very forward weighted balance. Just my type

I had heard this was the case, but the actual blade is a bit chunkier than the weight suggests - the handle is super light.

Wife: Six is too many.

Me: no. It isn’t. (Just you wait and see.)

Show her this and hopefully she will understand

Shindo nakiri from tokushu came in yesterday. Rough sharpen on a SG1000 and SG4000 . It is definitely an interesting profile, almost a pseudo S grind. Not sure how I feel about it just yet, though to be fair maybe the choice of prep wasn't ideal (sweet potatoes and beets). Will definitely continue to use it and get back to y'all

 

[TheDza]

I also found Tokushu choice of box hilarious

TxK migaki, Tetsujin, and Migoto. The TxK is so fun to use because it just ghosts through everything.

thoughts on migaki vs kasumi other than cosmetics?

TxK doesn't have a kasumi option.

New in the last week (L to R):

Schön 240mm forged integral, nickel and iron clad 52100 (from @preizzo )

NOS vintage Masakane SK 300mm (from ProTooling sale)

NOS vintage Hitohira SK 150mm honesuki (also from ProTooling sale)

Looks like you forced the patina on those vintage guys, curious what you used

Yeah, my Nihonko petty (only other SK steel knife I have) took a while to settle down to a stable patina, and I wanted to avoid that. So I just did a quick forced patina with Dijon mustard. I could have done a better job (I didn’t do any surface prep other than cleaning up with rubbing alcohol) but know I’m going to do some thinning work on both soon, so wasn’t too worried about appearances.

You are right. I have the migaki Kyuzo, Kasumi Togashi and Yohei. I like the kasumi finish more from a cosmetics perspective. Just assumed Kyuzo makes the kasumi version as well since Togashi makes both.

Got to thank BST for this one. Know it's been catching some criticism lately but very happy with my experiences. This one was by far my favourite from the recent releases and doesn't disappoint in person.

I don't post much, but that is a pearler. I don't know why anyone would complain about that. It suits me to a T!

Awesome mate! Incredibly jealous, but stoked for you. It’s a lovely one.

It is an absolute beauty. Everything just came together perfectly on this one. Don't think anyone was complaining about the knife though. I was referring the threads about BST since I managed to pick this Milan up from through a WTB

Congrats mate! So lucky to pick this one up. The first stone polished stainless clad Milan - very cool

Exactly why I’m so excited, not that his other knives are lacking in TLC… very much looking forward to putting it through some preps.

Looking forward to seeing patina pics of it with the cladding. You going to get a saya for it too?

Wasn’t planning on it since this one will definitely make it to the magnets, but had to haha.
