There is no substitute for a decent fixed blade but for those times visiting friends where everything is blunt I just received this Wharncleaver style folder. Cuts like a gem.

Yes.

I just couldn't resist. My ultimate wishlist is short .. so when something on it comes up, I just must.

And together now:

 

[madelinez]

Nice knives, what are they?

 

[Barashka]

Thanks. Top to bottom:
- Shinko Kurokumo R2 Damascus 270mm x 58mm, pretty thin laser-esque.
- New boy Fujin 240mm VG10, sure is a looker, food release above grind line is excellent.
- Kramer Meiji 8", great height, a touch fat, and I love the handle.

Disappointed that Kurosaki went to laser etching. He used to have some sweet chiseled kanji.

My local knife shop stop taking in Kurosaki knives because of this...

I like the board. Details?

It's just a "Teak Cutting Board" off amazon $35. 18 x 12 x .75 in .. I needed something easily movable by the wifu, and this is still big, but quite easy to move.

FYI Teak is supposedly kinda harsh on knives, but I really like the look.

Another one from Mert.

Tansu 180x60mm Nakiri in Damasteel with malee burl, bronze spacers and mokume end cap.

That's the Fujin.

I normally don’t prefer stainless clad knives but you can’t help but admire the wonderful finish that Kurosaki puts on his knives. Very original and very attractive. Nice purchase.

I recently bought a Carter Cutlery (Muteki line, made by Jamison Chopp) boning knife. White #1 clad with 410 stainless; curly birch handle. Finally had a chance to use it over Thanksgiving.

Marko 252mm WH gyuto and Dalman 247mm AEBL S grind with some KU. Both came in early in the week. The Marko was a quick catch and release to pay for a fancy knife that came my way because I have too many workhorse grind knives (Although the steel is sexy on stones). The Dalman is so good I'm gonna try to hang on to it for a bit at least.

Dalman

Love the Dalman. What is the height on that? Tough to tell if it is 250x60 or 250x50. Gorgeous knives, both of them.

51mm tall.

 

[thebradleycrew]

51mm tall.

Thanks. Beautiful knife indeed. Now if I could find that blade in 58mm tall!

Put your cutting surface higher and you're all set xD. For me, 58 Is a bit too tall for the height of my cutting surface relative to my elbow.

I know, I know. But I'm not particularly tall and I don't mind (or prefer?) the raised elbow of the taller heel. The lower heels, below 55mm, make me feel like I'm constantly "touching" the food as I cut. The taller heels makes it feel "cleaner" at the heel. Maybe if you sell that one I need to try it out...

Hehe, I'm not gonna argue about quirks! I certainly have mine. This knife is really good, it surprised me how good it is so I'll hold onto it for a bit at least and get to know it better.

That subtle S-grind looks exceptional

That subtle S-grind looks exceptional

Completely agree. Not too aggressive, not to shallow!

Of those 2 I’m shocked you let the Marko go and kept the other.

 

[Eitan78]

I’ll second that

 

[daddy yo yo]

I find that Dalman breathtaking!
