Maumasi. If I remember the story,something didn't come out right, he practiced serrations, and it's now his wife's knife. Prettiest bread knife in the west

Nice!!
Newest member of the team: a 280mm gyuto in honyaki W2 from Greg Cimms. An eye-popping 398gm, but it's balanced really nicely and actually feels really nice in hand, with a lovely convex WH grind. Ferrule and end cap are Greg's gorgeous Damascus, just for fun. This one's a keeper for sure.

That endcap is ridiculous.

I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
Is that a TF Nashiji? If they came with that kind of handle by default I'd have a much harder time ignoring them... simple but sweet looking handle!
That Newham’s a beauty!
Congrats!
Congrats!
Not a kitchen knife but super cool and not something you get to see often. So I figure worth posting.
Extremely rare old stock Shigefusa Kogatana with signed kiri box and chiseled kanji. Very cool bandings on the cladding too (there are in fact bandings on all the iron part including the handle, but my terrible photography skills cannot catch them) -

Shocked me, the balance is very good and I feel like I just want to dice!
I think all of the uncertainty and craziness in the world just made me say forget it I’m buying something crazy

How is the cutting performance?
The balance is right in the front of the handle, I was shocked as it’s 300g, but it felt agile and nimble
The edge is perfectly thinned as well, I really think 55mm+ is the sweet spot, cuts beautifully
I won’t buy any blade shorter that 55mm from now on

How do you find knife balance after rehandling? I'm thinking about getting this kind of handle for my knives but I don't know if it would make it back heavy tho.

Wont know for a few days. I just got it yesterday. This particular handle is really small and light.

Jiro #307 from the recent Tosho drop. Initial cut test was very promising. Thickest tang I have ever seen on a knife but it seems to balance it out. Spine and choil are a little sharp for my taste but the handle was surprisingly comfortable
