That Cleaver is nice!

This thing just walked into my home and told me that everything else I own is terrible at cutting.

I am insanely jealous of that slicer.

You have good taste in knives

 

[zizirex]

Another small knife. Love the upgrade for my current paring knife.

it’s just hard to beat the value of this knife.

 

[gaijin]

I got myself an old yanagiba from a local auction site. 220 mm from heel to tip, claimed to be carbon steel and from the 1940:ies or 50:ies. Sharp out of the box according to paper tests, but I guess sashimi will be on the menu soon.

Small kanji on the backside which I didn't quite catch with my phone.

I have had a few come in over the last couple months that I haven't had the chance to post. The first was a 240mm Toyama. I asked Maksim if I could have the heavier ones he had in stock and I am very happy with its performance. Smooth cutting feel but still releases very well. Surprisingly well in fact, gave me one of those moments where you chuckle to yourself while using it when I was chopping up some potatoes. Handle is burnt ho wood with buffalo horn. Feels very nice and grippy in hand. My first burnt wood handle and I like it a lot.

Length: 242mm
Height at heel: 55mm
Weight: 220g
Spine thickness at heel: ≈4mm

Did you burn the ho-wood yourself?

 

[PeterL]

No actually, came burnt stock from Maksim. Don’t have the materials to be doing that myself. I think he shifted to doing burnt ho wood handles for a bit.

Rumors are that he didn’t burn the wood but the wood turned so dark because he is a smoker…

When I got my Kaeru honyaki in the mail, my wife was so worked up over the potent cigarette smell (she thought the appliance repair guy had smoked in our apartment - it was that bad) that she forgot to be irritated that I bought another new knife and ask how much it cost

Genius, you may have cracked the code. Now when you get new knives just plant a cigarette somewhere and cone up with a creative story or just get all knives from maxim

First workout for my Sakai T Deba and Kagekiyo petty; 6 trout.
I did get a small chip on the deba that I'll need to work on though.

Got it. Take up smoking and hire repair guys to come over on delivery days

Nice rainbow! Just curious - what did you decide to do with the fillets?

Thanks!
Brined and cold smoked 4 fillets.
2 are going on a cedar plank over fire tonight. The rest were vacuum sealed and frozen.

Oh my … now that is sweeeeeeet!

Isn’t it just? I am impressed by the glorious overkill of putting an s-grind on a suji, a willowy type of blade already well suited to reducing sticktion. Envious - and could certainly be a heavyweight contender in your sticky potato tests

I must also concede that it appears that I did PeterL a little bit of a disservice on this thread earlier, engaging in somewhat tired (2 by 2 and ark type) japes about his tendency to pick up a pair of blades from makers he liked in quick succession, saving TF’s for us from the great flood. In fact I make this 3 Dalmans now, so perhaps I underestimated this fine fellow Londoner. He is actually more ambitious than Noah it seems, and I doff my hat at his old-testament exceeding knife collecting skills. Good work fella.
