There is a comparison somewhere that someone did. The summary was the knives were similar.
They were at one time very similar. When the ZKramers first came out they were actually pretty thin behind the edge. But the more recent ones are not so much.
I have a couple good ones and did a comparison of a Zk 8” next to a real Kramer 8”. Sooo close. Now mind you my 8” has been thinned and tuned by Jon.

I really really want one of those ovens. Such a brilliant idea. And that knife is no slouch either. Envious of both for sureView attachment 104853
One of the nicest aspects of KKF is the friends you make along the way. A while back I commented in a post that I had been looking for a Comet to add to my collection. As Trey has taken a break from knife making I wasn’t having much luck. Along came Hassenbensober to my rescue by offering his Comet Honyaki Gyuto. It was perfect as I was looking for a daily user. 238mm blade length, 220mm edge length, 50mm high, 3.65mm thick at the heel. Probably 26C3 carbon steel with a HRC of 63-64. 180gms. Here is a few more pics.

Adding to my luck recently was advice from marc4pt0 to pick up one of the new Anova Precision Ovens. I did and have been using it for the past month or so. I picked up a cheap top round roast on sale this week and thought it would be perfect to roast in my new oven to welcome the Comet Honyaki to the family. Here’s a couple more pics.

Though the pics show that the roast was a bit dry it was in fact perfectly moist. I dry brined the roast for 48 hours, seared the roast in beef fat for 6 minutes, then used the Anova oven for a 22hr sous vide roast at 135F. Amazing! My new Comet made short work of the roast and was easily capable of wonderfully thin slices. Two winners courtesy of two KKF friends.
I REALLY want one of these now. That would be a such a sweet sweet blade. The charred ash handle with that KU is seriously great looking. Might have to get a gyuto from him in this style.Got this little petty from shihan last week about 185mm. I now have four petty/suji between 180-200mm...bc I have a problem.

Also a cheaper way to try his stuff out. Unfortunately I like it and will probably have to buy a larger/pricier example.
Yup, gonna have to get this little guy a big bro eventuallyI REALLY want one of these now. That would be a such a sweet sweet blade. The charred ash handle with that KU is seriously great looking. Might have to get a gyuto from him in this style.
It’s blue 1Beautiful combination!

Maksim is the man!First kitchen knife purchase since 2015 I think .
Kaeru Kasumi White #2 240mm Gyuto from JNS. Picked it up on special for Black Friday and figure for the price, why not? Maxim has always had good taste in knives and stones.
