It is finally here… I am truly psyched and so elated about this for many reasons that you can all appreciate. The most important reason is that he is recovering well enough to complete this amazing custom for me.

317 gm Bloomery Steel

Wow. The handle looks thick and comfortable. Nice!

Thanks for sharing @drsmp! Nothing on KKF makes me smile like some good Rader pics.

Thought I didn't need a nakiri. I needed a nakiri. Shiro Kamo AS 170mm, ebony handle.

 

[cooktocut]

Was super lucky to have been able to grab a MagnaCut from @DevinT

I have a feeling this will quickly become my most used knife.

thanks - jannis made the bloomery steel by himself from iron ore he collected himself from the Baltic region - low in sulphur for higher purity. Then he used historic methods to smelt and bellows - will provide specs and details in a later posting when the knife arrives

but so happy to see Jannis create magic again

IMO he's one of the greatest knife makers of all time. Love to see a collab with kamon!

Absolutely thrilled and relieved to see he's recovering well and able to be back in the shop.

There are two! All bloomery. Oak from a beam from a church dating from the 14th century. What he calls his primus or wh gemotry.

I hope he is able to make a full recovery. Nothing quite hits like his work.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. As many have said, he is at a different level in terms of craftsmanship. I am glad he is doing what he loves to do and is recovering

how do you like yours so far? The profile and dimensions look almost identical to mine. What are the specs?

I can’t wait to receive mine - will post specs when I do

 

[ragz]

When it arrives I'll let you know

Those two Xerxes make me want to sell all my knives and save up for one.

Is that a clad line or low hanging hamon? Looks sharp either way

So many nice blades these past couple of pages. Heres my contribution- Bidinger 9” AEB-l gyuto sporting Dan’s “B Grind”. F&F is top notch.

My Mathias Ekman 270x55 AEB-L S-grind with bog oak handle with musk ox horn spacer.

More pictures and description on my gallery thread.

Nothing fancy. Just CCK 1302, since No 3 is a bit too small for me and No 1 is too humongous. Also I got the old stamp version over the new Laser etch one.

 

[Jovidah]

Where did you find the old stamped version?
