[Casaluz]

Received a couple of months ago and have been using them steadily often and with much much joy. As usual with Tilman's knives, they are superbly made, the handles are perfect, they glide through food with little sticking, feel nimble in the hand, easy to sharpen, and hold the edge for a long time. They are Tilman Leder custom 190 mm Nakiri in Niolox Damascus steel, and a custom 170 mm Petty in Niolox steel, both with matching ironwood handle, black horn ferrule and nickel silver spacer. The Nakiri also came with its own saya, handmade by Tilman.

I do not remember if I ever posted it before but the nakiri and petty came home to join my Tilman Leder custom profile 255 mm Wa Gyuto in Niolox steel with ironwood handle, black horn ferrule and nickel silver spacer. They all have the same matching handle, and shaped chin. I feel very lucky to have this matching set, and absolutely love using them

[Casaluz]

There seems to be an issue with photobucket. Any suggestions about how to post the pictures?

Nice set casaluz. I'm too a fanboy of Tilman's work.

 

[TheCaptain]

Thanks so much for getting these up! That nakiri though! Beautiful set.

 

[fujiyama]

Love the damascus pattern on that Tilman nakiri !! Nailed it.

@valgard is this becoming a noodle stir fry?

Those Tilman Leder are ridiculous, very elegant.

My new Masashi Kobo SLD 210. Thanks for all the info guys. I put this thing through a decent test today. Three 18qt Cambros of various cut vegetables for soups. Food release on potatoes was amazing. $225 shipped from A-frames AND it came with a beautiful chestnut buffalo handle and nice friction fit saya. Sweet deal if you ask me

 

[labor of love]

That knife is gonna last a long, long time.

Sweet! Waiting to get a Comet myself...if Trey (@comet) would ever get back to me! :lol2: :hungry:

 

[Danzo]

What’s that nakiri it looks a gigantic too.

 

[valgard]

Nice Bday present on the two Watanabe, I ordered a custom Watanabe and some rocks for my own Bday :cool2:

Looks like a Watanabe pro

Oh nice, I thought he had closed his books but he should be restocking CarbonKnifeCo soon.

That is corect! We have a winner!

The gyuto is indeed a huge 270, but the nakiri is the 180 (a little over 170, actually). However, I think you can make any knife look gargantuan if you shoot it at an angle, from the tip. Both about 60 mm tall, if that matters.

Valgard, what did you get?

 

[valgard]

Valgard, what did you get?

A 255mm gyuto with machi (so around 235mm cutting edge) and thinner tip. It just landed in Canada and should be here by the end of the week.

 

[Drosophil]

Solid patina!

Some steels will look like that if you give them their vitamin beef.

Sounds sweet, can't wait to see it.

Prendergast 230mm

Prendergast 230mm

Very nice! Remember that one from a passaround. 230mm is a sweet spot. It's like feeling it again.

 

[Rob_Sutherland]

Dan made this one for me, not a previous pass-around. But I would agree 230mm is a perfect length for me.
