245x52mm, 224g
4.5mm spine out of the handle
Cuts very well, looks great and more importantly, no stiction.
Nhb22, I’ve never seen anything done like that. It’s great for release, and reduces the weight quite a bit. How does it feel moving through products?

Looks like an intentional TF grind.
Very good. I call it symmetrical octuple fullers grind!
I know, right? Full of low spots
Mazaki really upping his game!!

Eddworks in ApexUltra, 265mm
Let me know if you want to part with this at some point man. Calling dibs now.
I have trade options we can explore too.
Let me know if you ever decide to part with the one I traded! Already missing my wall flower
I sold my AU one to @Barmoley …started missing it before I even dropped it off at the post office…
I’ve owned (and sold) 3 Eddworks now, the one you have is the only one I really miss. Had a Nakiri and it was great but I’m just not a rectangle guy and the gyuto I had before was a bit too small for me
Did you get his forged S grind option on this? Either way looks killer.
Fear not, the nakiri is getting plenty of time on the board these days!
Just normal grind, cuts like a killer
Sick. What's the handle?I did choose that option on something I should be getting Tuesday. Pics from Eddie

Ironwood from Eddie. I sent him some ringed gidgee from @jedy617 https://www.teddystimber.com/ but that just looks like a great piece of ironwood. Hard choice and I waffled quite a bit....first world problems

What's the verdict compared to the normal nakiri? I know some of his taller ones have quite curved belly?
Not new, but effectively new. Tall Shindo nakiri with an @eddworks regrind. Old one was was too curvy, so I flattened it a bunch, and Eddie was gracious enough to thin/regrind after it was too thick BTE. He did a killer job.
As far as I know this was a one-off and he doesn't plan on doing these jobs in the near future unless it's something he's made.

Flat towards the heel and mid knife but certainly a curve up towards the front. I dont really mind it honestly. And even if I did, I do not have the skill, time, nor patience to do anything about it myself
That's so much better than mine stock, I like a little belly but this was dumb. Yours looks great.View attachment 323468

The only thing that I'm still iffy about is the handle install. It came with an funky angle and I thought "huh that's weird". So I emailed Tokushu and Zach said that he specifically installs handles like that for the taller knives to minimize hand fatigue. I figured I'd give it a week or 2 to see what I thought and if it continues to bug me he offered to adjust it for free.

Blasphemy! How dare you use the word dumb to describe our Saint?! For your crime you will be skinned alive, obviously with that tall curvy Shindo nakiri.

Mine is also not as extreme belly. Still deciding on handle options for this guy.
