^^^ exactly. Way fun knife. But I will say, and just being honest, I’m having more fun with the Toyama. Very robust, amazing board feel and feedback when cutting. Doesn’t ghost through onions like he mazaki but like I said the Toyama just feels so confident.

Sublime - amazing work from simple sketch/pic to final product! Curious as to the general spec's - especially the heel height! D-shaped handle? Thx for sharing.

Its a 235mm (edge) x 57mm with a D-shaped handle and tapered on both sides.

the handle on tesshu mazaki is so huge, lol. i like large handles and even for me it was a bit much.

 

[Danzo]

For real! I feel like I can’t even give it an honest opinion yet because it feels like I’m holding an axe.

Because it fits in well with the topic:

A few months ago, I saw my knife in Tony's shop which I really liked visually (not sure if I can show the picture here). Unfortunately, the dimensions did not match my preferences.

I contacted Tony and made him this requirement:

(Also grind and thickness at the different places of the blade were given)

Two days ago I held this knife in my hands:

What can I say? My specifications and wishes were implemented excellently. There are very few makers who can deliver this fit & finish. Great work.:2thumbsup:

Hi

Ive been absent for a few years, who is this maker please and do you have his website

Thanks

I was not aware of him or his knives but looking at his site they look quite nice and fairly priced.

any reason we can't just say Sakai Izumi like it says on the blade?

Other than me not being able to understand what the kanji means, no . All I was told is that it was forged by Ikeda and sharpened by Kasahara, any additional insight is more than welcome!

Will post some measurements and a choil shot tomorrow.

Wow! Where’d you find that jem?

 

[dwalker]

I got one, too. I don't know what my Kanji says either.

I'm assuming because it was purchased based on the smith and the branding was largely irrelevant during the sale.

Fair is fair, I did specify the sharpener as well when i ordered, so should have mentioned him as well

Love it. Where did you get that?

 

[HRC_64]

I really like that look/
balance of heft and thin-ness

Which one is that choil shot?

cheers

 

[dwalker]

The 240 came from Bernal, the 270 was ordered through a Sakai vendor. I got a pretty sweet deal on the one from Bernal, it came bundled with this stone for free.

Could you give a short review of how this knife cuts etc. I’ve been interested in his work as Steffen lives only 8 kilometres from my home. The knives look really nice and well done [emoji2]
