I haven't used it yet because I'm going to meal prep this weekend and want to slice up some meat first to get a sick patina but If it's anything like my first Halcyon knife I'm sure it'll be amazing cutter.Nice, subtle S grind is it? How does it cut?
What kind of handle is that? super hotNKD from Joe over at Halcyon Forge. This is a 230x58mm "Bullnose" profile with wrought iron and 1.2519 steel core.
Its a black maple burl with a high polish that makes it super smooth and comfortable to hold.What kind of handle is that? super hot
How does it cut? Can we see some patina shots?Custom Togashi full tang western in ironwood, a subtle and elegant expression of pure artistry. Thanks to all the help from @moderncooking for setting this custom up and doing all the heavy lifting. Peter is a joy to work with for anyone looking at getting into some nice pieces, located in Germany.
Also to dispel any myths as to whether it is indeed a full western tang, it unequivocally is.

Dick power!Nothing sexy here for sure but I'm still excited.
*Ingredients have nothing to do with the knife. Wife was gathering up stuff for salad when I slipped in for a pic.
I like breaking down whole chickens and it was time to get a proper tool for the job. I've been back and forth about Western or honesuki for quite a while but using my utility knife as an experiment has me feeling the Western style right now. Yeah, I'm sure there will be a honesuki at some time...
Look at the burr on that factory edge...lol.
can we see another picture of the Ikeda?
It’s raining Honyaki’s!
That’s a nice looking yoshikazu ikeda Fuji, look like sharpened by Ino shinpei tooa bit late but here are some more Honyaki pics

Thanks, that’s good to know. I got it in late-2018 but it stayed in USA until recently, just got it back with some other knives in a big shipment.That’s a nice looking yoshikazu ikeda Fuji, look like sharpened by Ino shinpei too
I dont know why but the F.Dick factory edge is very inconsistent... I have two of them and both came with a defect in the edge at the point. A seller of my town even sharpens the knives he sells of this brandNothing sexy here for sure but I'm still excited.

Yes it is blue steel Watanabe left hand 330mm kensaki yanagiba, just came back from JKI. I’ll DM you more info a bit laterIs the yanagiba make by watanabe? May I know how much for that one? Looks so beautiful to me
yeah, you are right, but I have also Arcos, Icel and Giesser and altough they dont have the "best" factory edge, they are very decent. I think F.Dick has some drunk sharpening robots there , because even the seller I met says that in every 6box he finds a badly sharpened knife very often...It's pretty common on all the major high-volume makers. Especially at this price point but I've surely seen it on much costlier offerings as well. Easy enough to clean up.
