Show your newest knife buy

[TheCaptain]

And another by a young and promising maker. Again a review to come this weekend.

hinoura has arrived. its dimensions are quite nice. feels really good. however i think it needs some tweaking to suit my preferences. for example i dont like wide bevels, going to round the shoulders, and probably sharpen out the slight bit of belly it has toward the front. handle, f&f are excellent. this knife reminds me of shiro kamo AS, but way more refined and steel much more to my liking, cuts similar as well. i prefer highly asymmetric so i'll be adjusting the grind a bit. so my initial impression is i would call this a project with HUGE potential.

carrot 'sand'

question for those of you with a lot of KU experience, is it normal for the KU line to be what seems to me like 5mm above the actual shoulders?

Yokazu Ikeda/Kasahara 240mm (actually 228mm) Aogami #1 Kasumi gyuto. 53mm at the heel.

Choil shot before initial sharpening.


And quick testing after sharpening, the steel sharpens so nicely.

Yeah, the steel takes a mean edge super easy. No trouble whatsoever duburring. I am hoping you get the honyaki soon! BTW, if you wanna hang and try some knives and stones drinking a couple beers (after this bloody cold passes) shoot me a PM.

Yeah, I think that is better than anything I could have ever said. It is a nice looking knife. Looking forward to photos of that honyaki gyuto though!

that ikeda looks sweet, except for the short length, i'd love to try the 270.

New saya from Mokuzo for my Takeda NAS 270mm Gyuto with custom handle by Mikey. The handle is black & white ebony with ancient Ukrainian bog oak ferrule (carbon dated to over 2000 years old), fossilized mammoth tooth & argentium silver spacers, and a lapis lazuli (ultramarine) Honu inlay.
I recently got the takeda tenugui as well. I have another saya I'll have to post soon too!

Obviously you’ve been thinking about it...

Nah, it would be useless but would look totally rad, perfect for a.collector.

Depends on the handle and blade geometry honestly. I bet enough forward balance could be had to make something quite useful form it lol.

Hmmmmm......

Wow, that's awesome. I saw the multiple iterations on his Instagram, this final version is great. The total package is cool.

 

[Teledyol]

Would like to see everyone's latest knife buy to the knife collection and also why did you get it whats good about it.

I was looking for Gerber Balance Plus knives when I came across this amazing find. It's not Balance Plus. I'd like to know a lot more about this line.

Is that a custom profile? Looks much nicer than most.

That HANDLE is amazing piece of art...one of the few i would say that about.

 

[labor of love]

I never even noticed until you mentioned it. I would disagree.
