Sexy AFEver since trying his Prototype, I wanted one of his Hook grinds. You can't go wrong with Kamons but especially this grind performs really well. Last year I got my Custom one but never posted it. Way too sexy not to

Very interested in your thoughtsFirst big boy purchase since getting back into the game. 300mm White#2 Gesshin Ginga from JKI.
So far the only thing it's cut is my finger after taking it out of the box, and I can say it's dead frickin sharpVery interested in your thoughts
Very nice! I was tempted by that DT, but already have one with a cocobolo handle. That handle made me think two might not be such a bad thing. Love the Lisch too. His bolsters are super comfortable.Sometimes lightning strikes twice. Devin Thomas and David Lisch. Gonna put em to work for St Patty's dinner.

Mine arrived today. I am kinda gobsmacked by this knife. $90 and cuts as good as my Shibata bunka. Maybe slightly better, jury is still out, need to do some more tests. I have some beets I need to roast and they may be more informative than the test carrotsThis little beauty showed up today. Shindo 165mm funayuki.
aww man gonna have to give a Shindo a spindoMine arrived today. I am kinda gobsmacked by this knife. $90 and cuts as good as my Shibata bunka.

Anyway, I had no need for this knife. I just wanted to see if Shindo's grinds lived up to the KKF hype and for $90 it wasn't a huge gamble. Thus far I think the hype is well deserved and this will likely displace one of my other 165mm knives on my rack. I'll rehandle it almost immediately (and post pics when that's done) as I cant abide plastic ferrules. But beyond that I'm pleased.
I mean...I'm new here but I feel like it's bad form to not hop on the enabling bandwagon straight away...sorry, not sorryaww man gonna have to give a Shindo a spindo
There is only one cult messiah. The OG.......TFWelcome to the cult! If you like it I would highly recommend the zahocho 210 gyuto by Saint Shindo. Upgraded handle and only a fraction more than the funyaki, it's my favorite silent carrot slayer
Last year I bought a Lundbergs 180 in spicy white. A keeper.New addition to the short gang. @MSicardCutlery and @KasumiJLA
for a beautiful knife. The hamon is crazy defined. I cant stress how defined the hamon is with some serious wood to boot for the behind.
It does not have a makers mark so im going to call it the blank blade
Im starting to find that 180-200mm x 45mm is my jam on weekdays.
