Outstanding!
Looks almost as good as mine...
Haha no I mean how do you like it? Im buying a Tanaka as a gift for someone and I like the looks of the ebony/brass a lot more than the ebony/horn handles, so I was wondering how they fair.I bought it secondhand but Knives and Stones Australia used to sell upgraded Tanakas with rounded choils and spines and the ebony/brass handle
Ah yeah that makes sense. It's too clean to be a Tanaka. I really like Kato/Kanehiro knives.Unfortunately it wasn't TANAKA.
Is was Yoshimi Kato Blue super, great profile with good edge retention, not hard to sharpen.

Anyway, this is my new knife. I know the image quality is not up to those I see in this thread. Just took this with my phone. View attachment 72359 Blenheim Forge gyuto 220 mm blade. Been using a Wusthof classic 8" chefs. So far, really liking the gyuto a lot.

My first ever custom, from Isasmedjan
I'm looking very much forward to testing this beast, approximately 200mm, heel height 50mm
Wood for handle is mystery wood I inherited. Very flagrant and no one in Denmark has been able to identify it as of yet. The nordic runes say "Munin" one of Odins ravens. Munin roughly translates to "Memory" from old Nordic, I felt it appropriate due to the origins of the wood.
Jonas was a pleasure to work with, he is extremely service minded and I learned a lot on how to specify my needs and wants :=)

Nice score
Awesome! When I look at that choil, it’s clear as day it’s a lefty! LolNothing special, just a carbon heiji. I reminded him that I’m a lefty and he didn’t disappoint. Such a thin edge!View attachment 72607 View attachment 72608 View attachment 72609

Oh god, stop stealing @daveb jokesThank god, a true lefty, don't need to ask for dibs in a week or two when you are done with it.
How thick is the spine on that heiji?Nothing special, just a carbon heiji. I reminded him that I’m a lefty and he didn’t disappoint. Such a thin edge!View attachment 72607 View attachment 72608 View attachment 72609
This one is probably similar. It honestly doesn’t bother me at all that Heiji KU often comes with very little taper.How thick is the spine on that heiji?
I got a KU from him a while back and it was 4-5mm thicc with basically no taper at all.
It’s funny you mention it, there was a miscommunication somehow in our emails...when 6 monthes arrived I asked him if my knife was close and he responded that it was never made. He apologized and told me he would have it made ASAP. I think he cranked this one out for me in 5 weeks.I sent heiji an email about a 250 mm semi stainless with a height around 54 mm and a higher shinogi line but obviously I would leave it up to him where he thinks it should be. I gave him an idea of where I would like it and it sounded like he has gotten complaints from people who asked him to make knives like this that the knife becomes weak and bends lol. So he said it would have to be a 50 mm height. So I said if it can be 250/54 with a little bit thinner of a grind than normal I’m good with that. I put it in his hands. Never heard back from him haha. Probably just busy. Would love one in the future. That looks great man!
