Dang, you inspired me to get on his waiting list. Amazing.

Kamon 280 stainless sanmai:

Can’t recommend Ben‘s work enough. I can really see myself selling everything but my Kamon knives...

 

[Brian Weekley]

Now that is one sweet knife ... and I don’t even prefer stainless blades.

Me neither. But when I saw this one I had to have it...

I’ve been very fortunate to be able to keep my job as chef through out this entire pandemic and decided to rebuild a stolen knife collection for the third time. These are all the nicer ones I’ve been lucky enough to snag off BST and dealing with this community has been quite an enjoyable experience.

Catcheside 210 1.2442 iron clad nakiri
Catcheside 254 iron clad 1.2419.05
Kippington 255 1095 Honyaki
Martell 240 CPM154
Halcyon Forge 205 iron clad super blue core
Bloodroot 210 line knife in 52100
HSC/// petty 7.5in W2 San mai
Harner paring XHP

Just got the Kip, Martell and HF back from @BJE1 and the quality was top notch, they inspired me to make this post in the first place.
On the way is another Kip I’m anxiously awaiting and my first delve into Konosuke.
Not pictured are a bunch of super sweet knives @NO ChoP! let go of that I gifted to my cooks to lighten things up surrounding tension at work with things how they are. Whole line using Chop Shop kits now, it’s pretty awesome! Highly recommend both Evert and Chop Shop for custom work!

Ben’s work has it all- function, performance, comfort, looks, etc. I would love a denty San mai

if you etch this the banding will really pop out. I have a Halcyon blade from the same steel, sooooo nice

 

[Korpulentny]

Bought my very second japanese knife and first gyuto. Wakui migaki 240 in w2. I am already in love with how it cuts

 

[Kgp]

Recently picked up a couple from Taylor Edgington. My first S grind knives. Very impressive! Fit and finish are very good, great food release, and superb edge that is holding up very well. The shorter one had a workhorse grind, but I asked him to put an S grind on it. Specs are listed here:

New to me. EM gyuto 250×58 1.2442 mono with compression koa handle. WOW to the chatoyance.

Video of the handle from maker's IG

 

[esoo]

Took advantage of the HomeButcher craziness to re-buy a knife that I regretted selling.

Forgotten what a beast this was - 300gm. Every other knife I've bought recently has been under ~125gm.

 

[Bcos17]

I grabbed one too. Very cool knife for $200. It may need some thinning at some point.

How do you like the HF? it used to be mine

 

[tchan001]

A Mario popped up in the mail today. New to me. 280x60 NitroV with oosik and ironwood right-handed D-shaped handle matched with a walnut saya. Really nice reflective finish.

 

[Kristoffer]

From Portland with love, to Sweden in six days.

Yep, the grind is just as good as it looks

Edit: HOLY SH**T!!! First cuts made. This is officially my best cutter. Digging in to the board sharp and soo thin behind the edge. Just WOW!!!

Went to my local Asian supermarket and on a whim I decided to pick up a Leung Tim Kee Chinese chefs knife, it was only 30 euros so hard to pass up.

Really surprised you found this in the Netherlands. The main store is in HK and they have a branch in Sydney down the road from my place. Decent for what it is

 

[EveneshBBQ]

JCK homebrand Fu Rin Ka Zan Masamoto clone, 270mm B#2. After initial finish on rikka 5k and kitayama 8k (came 70% sharp) proved to be an awesome cutter. I'm still adjusting to it being a single bevel, but luckily some progress is being made) I am a BBQ catering person so it will work a lot. Cool way to spend 440 usd.

Rumor is they're thicker than they used to be. Does that seem to be the case?

I can't say, I've never had my hands on one before. I just think it could benefit from some thinning.

Curious what the spine thickness. Looks pretty thick behind the edge, but awesome price and probably perfect knife for a little regrind, probably be fantastic .

That looks nothing like the one I had from what I remember. I guess I wasn't crazy in thinking mine didn't need an initial thinning.

Recently just got a Halcyon Forge in the mail today. 240 x 54 integral blade in a distorted mosaic damascus pattern with a blue dyed box elder burl handle.
