Mate I envy you. I hesitated on the Fuji in White and now it is sold out. Good catch.Happy birthday to me
Those two came in today Jiro 210 western handle and Konosuke Fujiyama 240 W1 View attachment 84229View attachment 84230
Pretty stunning knife, my first kono Fuji! Only wish it was actually 55 tall and not 52....
but beside that I’m really happy with itI would be happy with a 52mm or shorter. We are close enough that we can work something out if you ever consider selling it. I was at Protooling 2 days ago for instance.Pretty stunning knife, my first kono Fuji! Only wish it was actually 55 tall and not 52....
I was there before and Paul told me about it, got the Jiro from him
Ah yeah? Have you seen the fuji honyaki? My god! Also he has a 270 Jiro, a beast.
Yep!! He showed me all the goodies. Had to run away from there

I got it from a U.K. website called Niwaki dot com
I was looking for a kogatana and ran into it
It’s $60 and comes in both left handed and right handed.
It’s fun to sharpen pencils again!

(I know Cut Brooklyn is controversial on this forum, but I love the fit and finish, feel and performance of the knife and I wanted to share)

I’ve given up telling myself such things, promises I can’t/won’t keep anyway...

Truth is i’m holding off for something else
. I have a 240 maz from yoshihiro. Got it a while ago. Very similar. Just really like these pointy tips. Been wanting a 270. That 180 nakiri too.

It's not the usual fare here but it's definitely a nice example of his style. It came with that streaky looking patina? Looks deliberate.
@milkbaby Yes, he gave it a "light acid etch to create a starter patina." Do you think that the main reason Joel's knives aren't commonly accepted here is because he uses some stock removal in his approach? I have knives from Nafzger Forge, Carter Cutlery, and Takeda. I love them all, but I also appreciate what Joel does. Just wondering.
Bernal should be getting in 240s in W#2 in the fall or so - I'll be prowling for one of those.
Don't fret. He's also got Blue covered in Damascus now.

I would not pretend to answer for anyone else. But you ask an interesting question. In short you wonder if KKF members find stock removal knives less "acceptable" than forged blades (which may be less acceptable than forge welded or honyaki blades).
My ignorant impression is that they may all (stock removal, grinding, forging, and fore welding) require great skill to master but forging and forge welding represent potential for greater complexity. Mastery is impressive in a single skill or in multiple skills. The level of mastery influences the amount of time the work can be appreciated.
We all want to be entertained don't we?

KKF is very Japanese knife-centric. The vast majority of knives spoken about here are J-knives. When it comes to western makers there are a relatively small subset of makers that forum members are interested in. It's a bit clique-ish IMHO.
