That 5 steel is amazing. One day, one day almost got the other 5 steel you got, didn't have enough money at the time, still regret it.

That is the singular prettiest knife I have ever seen. Just WOW!!!

But can they cut butter and carrots

Life is not just about carrots. And one would be hard pressed to convince me a tf cuts better overall. Not knocking the tf, it's just not a Rader.

Well, today was just a really good day. Four new arrivals:
1. Watanabe custom - Blue 2, soft iron cladding, 250x60mm; no handle specified, going to get it thinner then put a nice handle on it. Includes the worlds longest tang free of charge.
2. Kemadi cleaver (thanks @bruce8088) with Bulat, ironwood handle, and saya; I understand it to be the first cleaver made my Kemadi, cool.
3. Raquin 215mm with a really small handle of old micarta (thanks @bryan03!); it's his KT grind, and the knife weighs in at a whopping 240 grams, neutral balance point due to heavier than normal handle. Gorgeous.
4. For the tactical crowd, a Microtech Troodon Carbon. XHP steel, double edge. Sweet EDC.

Time to get cutting.

Love that Raquin. If you ever want to part ways with it LMK!

Isasmedjan 230 x 53 x 5.3mm at the handle and 0.7mm at the tip, 225g . Feels like a workhorse but cuts like a lightsaber. And dat kasumi finish

@Chamber is that the one that was just recently auctioned? I had to really struggle not to bid up for it.

Yessir! Just arrived today and I absolutely love this knife. Can’t say enough about Jonas and his craftsmanship.

Tried TF still have it good knife. Raider haven't tried, they sure are beautiful, especially the 5 steel and handles look super comfortable.

I've used a rader before (brand new), it was pretty unspectacular cutter.. amazing fit&finish though. Profile solid as well.

My TF also not a spectacular cutter, haha.

Did you put on the Gesshin 4K or a good Jnat suita yet? I can guarantee you won't be disappointed

Happy Birthday

Thanks . 240 it ended up.

KAI Shun Tsuyu chef's utility knife 8" limited 5 million anniversary edition. It's really rare at the moment. It's a new one and never cut. I bought it from KAI Hong Kong in last year. Hope you will like it.

Height?

51. Thanks for the heads up. The 225 turned out to be closer to the hito specs, which would’ve been fine given the absolute perfection that this 240 turned out to be. But this is just a pure specimen of generational knowledge and sacrifice. Truly stunning. Really the only knife I have that rivals it is the ashi.
