Eh....that's a decent start.

Needs more cleaver

 

[Tethien]

It does need a couple cleavers… I got a mirror finish ginsan3 coming my way soon

 

[pitted_soul]

Well, which do you reach for the most in their respective category?

 

[Tethien]

Uhh… tbh these are not quite my dailies, well the Yorokobi is and is probably my second most used, best preforming knife I have, doesn’t feel chippy, good profile with a ktip. Also helps that it looks gorgeous. But my most used is yoshikane Sld 170 black Damascus, more beautiful, almost as good preforming and it’s better for little tasks that I do a lot.
Those are the gyuto and santoku/bunka

For nakiri is probably the masashi or Hinoura I have. The Hinoura has better performance and weight but it’s a bit short for me also feels a bit light, masashi has good food release and a profile I like. It’s a switch up but right now I’m using the Hinoura. I also bring out the Hado sometimes just for the wow factor of how effortlessly it cuts dense veggies even though the masashi and Hinoura do it almost as well, it has a different cutting feel.

And I use the Shinkiro for any slicing or very large tasks, it’s almost a suji for me at 260mm, my next project is to put a mirror finish on it probably

I was sitting there looking at Yoshi thinking "didn't I see that EXACT knife for sale". I was afraid I was going to do that with a knife recently, I got it all gussied up for sale and I almost kept it, but it wasn't close to being my favorite. Also, I am getting a two-toned, live edge handle made as we speak for a gyuto. When I saw yours and how it turned out, that got me really pumped for mine.

I saw that Hado choil shot and I gasped a little. That thing is THIN. I didn't realize just how thin they were, true lasers huh?

I am also getting a couple more 2 toned but I don’t think it’s going to be quite the same, I got very lucky with these, good luck with yours tho. And yea the Hado is the most of a laser I’ve seen, only thing that keeps me from using it is that it is very chippy and the choil is a little far from the handle so it’s weird pinch griping it
