Yeah, I spoke with him when he was recovering. Glad to see he's back at it and doing better. It was the multiple rounds of honesuki orders that I believe we're coming in advance of the two rounds of custom orders that I was referencing. Either way, I'm happy to take my time to get the apex ultra integral gyuto that I've been dreaming of. Also, there's obviously a ton more to appreciate in his work, but the kid in me just thinks the runes are ***** rad.
Nice snag! How did you like the shop?
heel height, please
Gabriel is good people!
Nice mazaki!
That Milan is fkn sweeeeet. Gotta post the suji next.....
what size is that Tsourkan? looking good
Yes, we obsess over some crazy knives around these parts, but the reality is these are all premium knives, imo.
Yes, I did enjoy it. I have a couple of Tojiro VG10 knives (sujihiki and nakiri) and this seemed like a prettied up version of them with a japanese handle. Which isn't a bad thing. And with the sale I paid about the same for this one as a similar Tojiro, so I'm happy with it. And for my home cooking use it's definitely plenty for me. Definitely the prettiest thing I own even though I still love my Zwilling Pros.
Thanks! It's 220mm x 50mm and weighs 240g
I'm not much for dyed wood handles but this one looked great to me! Dominik makes killer knives!
I tend to stick to natural wood as well, but seeing some of his earlier work I was confident it would turn out great. Reminds of starry night
