Happy New Year all!

$600 value!!! I will be replacing my ShiHan

Bit of a joke really, but I’ll give it a whirl. The MOAM (mother of all maboroshi). 305x61, 415g. Mirrored nashiji. Stock red coffin shaped handle. The extra kanji. Tapered tang. It’s got it all.

haha awesome! What a piece.

Shihan 240mm 52100 stainless clad

 

[SwampDonkey]

Okahide hamono 140mm sabaki-bocho in aogami #2. Got this guy for trimming BBQ cuts and cleaning small game to complement my larger western butcher. Very light and comfortable in hand with smooth choil that fits my forefinger nicely.

Umph

 

[jaeysehn]

Xerxes Workhorse 236x57mm in ApexUltra @ 66hrc, with desert ironwood burl and titanium spacer. The thing is insane. 6.3mm out of the handle, tapering to 0.8mm at 20mm from the tip.

285g of finesse. Minimal cracking of carrots at the heel. Completely silent in the front half. Ghosts through onions better than any laser I have.

 

[KnightKnightForever]

That Xerxes is the coolest one I've seen

Xerxes Semi Integral Apex Ultra Gyuto 226mmx57mm, 295g, handle desert ironwood, 66hrc, 7,8 out of the handle down to 1mm 2cm before tip.

 

[danemonji]

Kato tamahagane utility knife. This is my pocket size katana by Kato. I love the forging of this little blade, as the steel in the hamon is nice and smooth,while towards the bevel the steel ripples as if textured.
Handle is a very nice ironwood wich seems to be one with the blade in terms of construction.

 

[SirCutAlot]

Wow that Kato is a stunner. I wish his kitchen knives where that good.

The finish is more like mirror, color pops more, classic Myojin choil and spine.

The colors are amazing...can I ask where you got it? Since I sold my saji rainbow years ago, I have been missing some mokume in my life

The handle really fits the Raquin nicely! Very good combination IMO

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. I'm still shocked I was able to snag this one. Profile is perfect, its his classic 145sc/xc10 and also his classic KT grind. It's the quintessential Raquin, if you ask me. And the handle was Bryan's work as well, which to my mind makes it all the more special and unique.
