@Gregmega For my taste it's quite a light speedy blade, yes. 3mm blade thickness, about 200g.

Sukenari white1 honyaki suji, this thing is freaking awesome!! Asymmetric convex grind but I swear there is a concave forged into left face.

Thank god, a true lefty, don't need to ask for dibs in a week or two when you are done with it.

Yeah, but that leaves all us lefty folks in the game still.

WOW nice Kono. I haven't seen anywhere listed this knife for sale. I assume, is it a custom order you put through Tosho? @Supraunleaded ?

Not a custom, but was selected to purchase it through a raffle. Funny story I was looking for a vintage swedish carbon and came across Hitohira's Vintage Swedish Carbon first and thought, this is a rare opportunity to get one so why not. Then as it happens, I was selected to purchase the Konosuke. Choil shots show the difference in sharpeners. The last pic is worth a chuckle too, as both Tosho and Hitohira gifted identical vegetable peelers with the knives. So, anyone in the US want a free red vegetable peeler?

steel feels freaking great! A lot like Mizuno white2 honyaki.

This is with a 60 second 1k edge.

Oh yes, definitely more nimble. Looks dope.

I loved the Yamahide KU so much that I grabbed the suminagashi version in aogami super. Edge length is 274mm; heel height is 57mm; weight is still a beefy 431g. Asymmetric convex grind looks like it should be fun.

As I finished up my special coleslaw using my Takeda’s the postman delivered my new honyaki gyuto by Robin Dalman. As a pair of family birthday dinners was set for today which I thought it was a perfect opportunity to welcome my new member to the family. It’s a 240x55x3.5mm “Dalman S Grind” Honyaki gyuto. Uhb20c Carbon steel. Full tang western style burnt oak handle. In all delivered beautifully ground and exquisitely sharp. Here’s a few pics of the knife as delivered.

My new Dalman had to be pressed into service for two dishes. First up my most amazing BBQ’d beans dish. Lots of chopping, cooked and reduced on the BBQ these are true BBQ’s candy.

Lastly my beef long ribs slow smoked on my Green Egg ...

Whether prepping veges or carving beef, the Dalman is an amazing Knife. Beautifully balanced in a pinch grip and sharp as can be imagined. A gorgeous knife.

Oh yes ... the start of a beautiful patina brought joy to my heart.

Gorgeous knife and picture.

If you cut Brussel sprouts you might want to check for some “orange patina”.

Orange patina not guaranteed but gas pretty much is.

That’s funny my fiancé brought me back a knife from tsubaya in Tokyo and they gave her that exact peeler

 

[Ryndunk]

Got this one yesterday. Sweet blade. My first knife by a western maker. Tall and thin. Cool profile works really well for me. Thanks @HSC /// Knives.

Came really close to buying that Hitohira one. Now I kind of wish I did. Him and I had discussed it for a while, but in the end I didn’t pull the trigger

Tosho's instagram has more glamour shots for sure, but this is just magnificent to behold. It arrived with a light layer of oil, hence some haziness.
