[NO ChoP!]

Just picked this up from @captaincaed.
Wow. Just wow.
Impeccable fit and finish. Gorgeous snakewood handle.
Been intrigued by the high hrc of the Sukenari aogami for a bit. Cant wait to get it on a board!
Also, the K&S box is seriously over the top! (Sleeved, magnetic, gold foil lined)
Got a cool leapordwood saya in the works, too.

the.9nine 1.2519 core steel

Frigging sweet. I almost had Rob copy your handle for mine but decided for the new shape... so nice.

Hows she cut?

Fujiwara Teruyasu Maboroshi 210mm gyuto (bought direct from TF).
It's just arrived back from Jobone with custom handle, Honduran Rosewood Burl and African Blackwood ferrule. I'm very happy with it!

Nice package. What are the specs of this one? Always curious to the range of sizes from TF (length, width, weight).

Thanks! By my rough measure it's L 214, H 52 and it weighs 188g. Hope this helps.

Kemadi bulat 270mm gyuto. Handle curly mango+A. blackwood by Graydon. 273 x 55 @ 307g

How does this guy sharpen? Starting to get interested in crucible steels.

That looks badass buttttttt is it a 210mm?

Both of these knives arrived today, super excited to test them out

1. Kaeru Blue 2 Honyaki Gyuto 240mm
View attachment 85244

2. Zubeng Tamahagane Gyuto 240mm
View attachment 85246View attachment 85245

I’d love to know how that Kaeru works out for you.

 

[NO ChoP!]

@TSF415
Nope it's actually a 270mm.

 

[jasonbird]

Just received my first mazaki 275mm k-tip, blade height 57mm, width above heel 5.5mm, weight 307g
Grinding and polish is perfect, i thought it's better than some older version of mazakis I've seen. Passed the hanging hair test straight outa box.
Unfortunately the tip is lil bit bent, also when i knocked on the handle I could hear the nakago is not fixed firmly, it didn't affect daily use though. Probably it was dropped during shipping.

A nicely updated Kato...

lookin' good, jamie!

 

[jasonbird]

I was tempted to get a yanagiba for so long but as I'm working in a busy western kitchen, It makes no sense to use carbon steel nor single bevel there but I just can't stop myself from getting one, finally got one last month.
It's a Nenohi 300mm white 2, unfortunately i found that about 1/10 from the tip is bent toward the Hira(flat side not uraoshi), like 1mm from dead straight.
They put a micro bevel on it, can't say it's pretty sharp out of the box but wet shaving is not a problem. Also some low spot on the blade road.
Fit and finishing is perfect, it has the smoothest choil i have ever grabbed. Original saya is magnolia but not ordinary cheap one, good friction and edges are beautifully grinded.

It turns out pretty well, I was able to bring out the banding by etching the blade.

Haven't sharpened it, and likely won't for a while because Kasumi Kev makes 'em murder sharp!

I know it is not in perfect conditions, but these are very very rare.

My first serious JKnife!

A Sakai Takayuky Tokujou Deba 180mm
As a fisherman, and with the precious advice of some fellas here, it was the right choice for a first serious one.

 

[thomapa1]

Got a set of Laguiole en Aubrac steak knives. Had some fun money, not something I would normally indulge in. Love the history/shape of these. Snakewood handles.

 

[AFKitchenknivesguy]

If that's the Kato from the BST lottery, congrats! Good karma coming back your way for all the deals you hand out. If its one you paid current market price for its still a nice knife. lol
