I've had good Dalman luck these last couple weeks. Few days after the HSS1 210, a Honyaki 190 came in mail too. Haven't had the chance to make too many meals with them yet but they feel fairly different probably partly due to the difference in weight. Both are dreamy cutters though.

Beautiful blades, but also thoroughly impressed by your wholehearted ‘Noah’s Ark’ style of rapid knife accumulation. IIRC didn’t you recently buy two TFs in rapid succession too, followed by this ’whoops I’ve done a double Dalman’ episode.

If the high waters do come it’s good that you‘re taking steps to preserve the very best of makers for the new world (even if I reckon that there may be a teeny-weeny biological flaw in your plan)

@PeterL now you just need to start asking for a used napkin whenever you buy a knife from @RDalman, TF, etc.

Some new handles. This is Sakai Kikumori Y. Tanaka B1 dammy and Moritaka B2 ishime honesuki.

Any details you can provide on those sweet handles?

The Y. Tanaka is stabilized light amboyna burl, actually. The dark one is stabilized oak burl. Not seen these types much.

You do remember correctly. When it rains, it pours I guess. That doesn't bode too well for high waters coming though. It is fun being able to compare similar but different knives.

I think I'd want to clone the knives much more than Leonard Nimoy, they're all great cutters. No moral quandaries about cloning with that either.

Was going to ask the same question. They're beautiful. Did you make them yourself?

Buuuuuut…..twice the makers mean twice the available knives. Raquins selling out in five minutes instead of two.

Wouldn’t everybody win from that. Little more stock so more people could try the knives (me included - still haven’t tried a Raquin). Plus a little more stock might devalue flipping a little bit.

No, I paid my way A dude here in Denmark made them for me on my specifications. They feel really nice as well. Balance is surprisingly almost the same, even though the Y. Tanaka had a ho wood handle before.

Just got this beast on BST. My first mono steel 52100 blade. So far, so good. Taking a very cool patina on grilled chicken and mire poix. Some almost florescent blues!

New knives arriving this week...

First

Bryan Raquin Sujihiji 300mm

 

[tag98]

Went by sharp knife shop in hamilton today, picked up a new yu kurosaki santoku with a custom handle and a cover for my takeda petty as well as a few smaller things, as always the guys there are phenomenal as is the products they carry

Watanabe Pro Nakiri. Enju/horn handle upgrade. My first Wat.

sexy time:

 

[Ivar]

Just in: seven 26c3 honyaki’s from Patrik Carlvik at Smedja Aspen. 300 mm gyoto & sujihiki, two petty’s and honesuki/garesuki/hankotsu for butchering. I made it a big order, as I think it is better for a smith to do bigger orders, not just one-off’s.

That hankotsu looks right up my alley.

Lovely, congratulations! I've been wanting a larger nakiri and thanks to the great reviews here and on reddit, mine is arriving Wednesday. Opted for the same handle - seems a popular choice. It'll be first NKD in a while, can't wait!

 

[Ivar]

Actually, Patrik was particularly fond of that one. It’s a hefty 155 mm / 4 mm, weighing in at 250 g, and I’m sure he’ll be happy to make another one.

Gigantoku! I’ve been intrigued by that one from Kamon.

 

[WiriWiri]

Sakai Takayuki KS Clone, Stainless Clad Blue, courtesy of BST and @IsoJ. Thoughtfully IsoJ even pre-scrubbed off the Ryky branding

It‘s a lovely, classic skinny Sakai style laser, beautifully maintained and tuned up by @IsoJ . Very much enjoying after a few less positive experiences with R2 lasers - the trade off a softer steel for a more robust feel on board suits me just fine.

Can we see it in action?

Can we see it in action?

A) you don’t want to see my knife skills.
B) I’m not even sure that I want to use it. It’s that nice.
