Congratulations - nice knife, but the purchase method was not that great…. It is not okay to raise the price and drive the seller to sin after the approved contact with the first buyer! (Although the seller too ... I will bite my tongue )

I guess I don't really understand. I'll pm you for clarification

lol wow so mine is midweight and it’s beefier than my Shigefusa Gyuto, and feels like a workhorse (not like my Mazaki but still)…

but the grind on these is just silly. Like that is exactly like my Maz San Mai or my Shigefusa Kurouchi.

love Black Lotus… easily my favorite non Japanese maker (lol cuz his is my only knife that’s not japanese)

Beautiful. Would love to see a choil shot on that bad boy.

Got this Takamura Tsuchime as a present for a family friend. Bought it from Tanaquo Cutlery from ebay, which I highly recommend if you want to buy a Takamura, he's a pleasure to dealing with and helped me to add a microbevel on the knife.

I have the gyuto of this knife… probably one of the most used knives in my work kit. When it was brand new that thing cut like nobody’s business! Now though? It’s basically a short Suji . I still use it every single day though.

For the price Takamuras are some of the best grinded knives out there, still have my 210mm red handle, really hope they can come with a 240mm red handle tho, maybe someday I will get a Chromax santoku for my self.

I have been wanting grab one of those red handle 150 pettys… but yes agreed about the 240! I heard that he won’t make them but we can hope…
The Chromax is a great knife though. As mine ages it has started to patina quite a bit more as well, since I’ve thinned it, it’s showing more on the blade face too.

Nice, I am still waiting for mine.

You’re gonna love it, man. Seriously one of the most insane values… I cannot believe that these cost what they do. They certainly don’t feel like it…

My first petty, also my first western maker -

Catcheside 165mm in iron clad/1.2442

 

[PeterL]

After meeting Milan at his old workshop last summer, I'm very glad I was able to go pick my first custom up in person from him and see his new workshop. He is such a nice guy, ended up staying for a bit while he gave me some pointers on where I've been going wrong in stone polishing. Saw some of the his other recent work he hadn't shipped off yet too. Seriously impressive stuff. He completely delivered on what I was imagining for my knife. Haven't had the chance to use it too much yet other than prepping some veggies for lunch but very happy with it so far. Already slight bit of patina going on the bevels. Handle is made from old wine barrel oak from the area. San Mai soft steel clad + 1.2519 core. Definitely a keeper. Couldn't recommend Milan more.

Dimensions from Milan:

Length: 235mm
Height at heel: 54mm
Taper: 5.5 to 0.8mm
Weight: 245g

Got this monster from a mate today - old stock Hisaya 240 usuba by Tatsuo Ikeda

 

[mack]

The Ukrainian workhorse by a very talented German hobbyist:

Handle is made of Ukrainian hornbeam, steel is 14C28N, 230mm x 52mm

I was lucky to purchase it by auction, the money was spent to an NGO which cares about Ukrainian orphans.

Newham Knives 220 gyuto in Nitro-V at 64 HRC, Anboyna burl.
Nimble, balanced, gradual taper to super fine tip, incredible grind, handle is immaculate, great steel so far. Had this thing ~3 weeks and cannot put it down- a true all purpose chef’s knife- cannot be more impressed. Cannot wait to take it to the stones (but it is going to be a while as it had a nice 4K edge out of the box).

That’s amazing! … You buy a cheap old towel and it comes with a great cleaver! That’s what I call marketing!

I also find it convenient to keep some baby bananas stocked in the house so that I can have them readily available for scale.

Super jelly that you got one with the “old” makers marks on it. Playing with mine as we speak.

The two year old loves them.
