Nobuya Hayashi 240mmX51mm B#2
Picked up this Gihei B2 Gyuto from CKTG. I wanted something beefier than my other gyutos, and this thing is solid. Needed a bit of stone work to get it sharp. Now it is. Love the little horsey.

Haha. My 210 Toyama nakiri is so much fun to use. I now have learned how to mince shallot without tip.the recent purchases of Wat Pro 180s brings a tear to my eye

I was already an enthusiastic user of a $100 Kohetsu (same blade sold at varying prices under several names) which was great for the money, but I’d been wanting something bigger and the raves around here and on Reddit left me no choice.the recent purchases of Wat Pro 180s and other rectangles brings a tear to my eye

that is gorgeous, kind of reminds me of Hazenberg without the ridiculous pricing. Nice pick up.Steeleworks cheffy. This may be one of my new favorites. Razor sharp and super fun to cut with. And reasonably priced for the materials, fit and finish. Britton also throws in a small homemade leather strop and compound with each order.
Stainless Damascus clad CuMai with a Nitro-V core from @diondamascus. Handle is a wonderfully sculpted stabilized curly redwood with copper, nickel-silver and black G10 bolster.

This looks mighty tempting even though my 180mm one from Wanchana is all I need in the nakiri department.@nakiriknaifuwaifu Ooooh... Or did you secretly have him make you a gigantonakiri?!

Gorgeous! Is the dark patina of the core steel a kurouchi finish? Can you share a link to the maker?
nice custom. did u have the maker keep it pretty thin and light or put more heft into it? hope u get it soon.@nakiriknaifuwaifu My recent good experience with nakiri really lead me to confirm that a nakiri with a tip would be an ideal even perfect knife to me. I custom made this knife with a Chinese maker last year. It is a 215*65 mini-cleaver with a tip. It’s still trapped in China due to the COVID but I think I’m gonna love it once I get my hands on it.

Cool, what kind of steel is it?@nakiriknaifuwaifu My recent good experience with nakiri really lead me to confirm that a nakiri with a tip would be an ideal even perfect knife to me.

For a 215 knife, it is on the heavier side as the weight is 191 gram without the handle. With a ho wood handle it would be ~220 gram. Now it's more like 250 gram with that ironwood handle. It uses a 3mm thick M390 stock with moderate distal taper. That shinogi line is more like a decoration. It's ground very thin BTE though.nice custom. did u have the maker keep it pretty thin and light or put more heft into it? hope u get it soon.

Thank you! I think when he originally posted the handle he said be spent 8 hours on it (don’t hold me to that number but there was dedication there). I love functional sculpted/faceted handles. What I really appreciated was before shipping it out, he picked it up and compared it to another knife he was making with a similar handle and felt like he needed to make some slight changes to make mine just as comfortable. I thought that was above and beyond as I’m sure the original was comfortable enough for him to put up for sale.
Thanks! I loved that he took the CuMai and added that denty nashiji (?) finish. I’m not enough of an expert to say what’s nashiji versus kurouchi but the upper part of the blade does have a rougher finish and denting.
I don’t think he has a website but you can find him here: Login • Instagram

Picked up a Hitohira Tanaka Kyuzo gyuto, Blue 1 w/ iron cladding 240 mm. Cedar handle.
I thought I wasn’t going to like the cedar handle (certainly not flashy) but was very comfortable in hand and in my experience with it, the cladding/steel don’t seem as reactive as other non stainless that I’ve had.
I’m really impressed with the performance so far, best combo of low cutting resistance/decent food release I tried so far. I’m interested to see what would top it.
