2 knives arrived today and I didn’t have anytime to take a good pics because of work but here’s one of them. Kagekiyo Mirror Ginsan Damascus 240mm with Urushi handle. Myojin grind always got me feeling some type of way.

I saw that one at miura...tempted me but was hard to justify that much money for ginsan. Looks gorgeous though, let us know how it performs

Well I couldn’t resist at all because Ginsan is my favorite stainless steel and I currently own couple of Nakagawa x Myojin knives and there’s really something with this duo. I believe there’s only 3 of this knife currently floating around and they all landed at Miura. I even just started using my other Kagekiyo Ginsan and that thing puts a stupid smile on my face when im cutting up produce.

I was all set to do a countdown + alarm for @Will Newham latest newsletter, as I’ve been lusting after his cumai s-grind since he did one a couple months back, plus @Brian Weekley raving about Will got me all amped up. Thought it was going to be tomorrow evening but saw his newsletter pop up in my email this morning. I assumed it was a preview at first, then did a double-take when I realized it was actually live!

So I almost feel like I was cheating, but you snooze you lose suckas! I’m only sorry I debated too long about the matching petty, but thank you to whoever stopped me from crossing over (by a tiny smidgen) into 4-figure territory. Anyway, thrilled to have this guy headed my way.

I can’t imagine being disappointed in Will’s work. From the outset his attention to detail and f&f has been above the clouds. As time passes Will just keeps expanding his horizons with techniques, steels and finishes. Were he not just a few days late for registration I know Will would have cleaned house at the 2023 DCI. Have a look at his serrated blades … I mean, who takes the time to do that? Will has another custom in the works for me. Another one of his limited production Heirloom series … multi piece this time. Stay tuned.

Had a Tsubaya branded Y Tanaka in aogami 1 as my first real Japanese knife, it was a bit short at the heel for me, so I sold it, and have really missed that steel ever since. I was lucky enough to work out a deal to purchase this migoto branded Y Tanaka wide bevel in aogami 1 with a taller heel and I am so stoked. This steel really is something else and I am so happy to have it back in my knife roll.

Ohhh boy, saw this one on insta. Glad this is heading to a KKF member. We need more pics and review when it arrives!

Spare/MCX bunka arrived this evening (thanks @Alder26). My first bunka and a great introduction to the style - very performant tip, smooth cutter, and great profile and blade height. I've missed having a Spare in my drawer and think this one will be a keeper...

 

[Greenbriel]

I snapped up probably the first of these the moment they went up. Absolute steal for a great knife. I still slightly prefer my Spåre honyaki, but LOVE this bunka. Congrats!

Finally had time to work on this knife and rehandle it. Hatsukokoro Yoake Blue 1 240mm Kiritsuke with Custom Buckeye burl handle. Wasn’t going to install the handle today but I wanted to play with it at work today.

Please post your thoughts on the knife. That thicccness got me hot and bothered and I want to know more about them. They look right up my alley.

I dont know if it's the same with the gyuto but the kiritsuke tapers down thin and it's also thin behind the edge. So I think that people misinterpret this knife as a workhorse because of the thickness on the tang or the spine but it does taper down.

A new member of the Halcyon Forge has joined. This one is special because it's my first honyaki. I've been searching for a honyaki with the right size, profile and, most importantly, a beautiful hamon. This one hit all the boxes and Joe nailed it.

 

[enrico]

@Repjapsteel I'm lucky enough to also have a Honyaki from Joe. Might be my favorite blade I've ever owned.

Lordy that's a beauty. My only honyaki is a @Fredrik Spåre and it's my desert island knife. Just amazing.
