I'm going to guess there's not a nicer collection in the UK. - Cool stuff Tom.
 
Nice collection Tom. The Takamura SG2 caught my eye, you might be one of the few people here who have one of these.

I picked it up in Japan, and was my first real japanese gyuto. The edge it came with was really impressive, i don't think i've been able to improve on it as it came tree topping sharp. Holds the edge for ages too.
Something makes me grab for the ITK over it most of the time though, think i just prefer the balance, but it really should see more board time than it does. Maybe a handle upgrade is in order :D
 
Very nice collection. Hattori KD envy.
 
Super collection. A number of drool worthy knives.
 
Stunning collection Tom. The threads in this forum keep getting better and better. Can you talk about any particular favorites?
 
Nice Tom, Your ones have turned out very nice. Have you put the blue paper core damascus to the test much yet?
 
Couple of additions to the kit:

Zwilling Cermax petty in MC66 (ZDP-189?) got it to try the steel and still looking for the perfect petty

Wow, that is a great expense of knives! Love the 270mm gyutos and a KD. They are all nice!!!
 
Glad to see you added some knives to your meager collection ;) Very nice set! Hard to pick a favorite, but I realized again how much I like the profile of the Watanabe gyutos.

Just noticed the thread (in which I posted of course) where you documented rehandling the Tojiro yourself. :O

Nice work TB, and a brilliant overall collection.
 
THat takamura is stunning, i think that may be the sexiest blade of the day
 
I picked it up in Japan on kappabashi dori. Sharpened it the other day but it was almost too sharp sticking in the board if I was any more than gentle. Still working up the courage to rehandle it
 
I thought your fiance had taken control of your finances due to your mental illness.:lol2:

+1 on the Takamura.

He might have prepared for this with two identities with separate bank accounts... or he's still in denial. :scared4:


Tom: nice collection there!
 
:)

Anyway. Nice collections. There are members here with some really impressive knives.
Someday Ill be one of them :) Loved the KD, a really great investment .)
 
If that Tak had a custom wa handle by one of the scroundrels who play with wood around here... ;) Well- it might be too much. It might cause a dimensional rift just by existing or something...
 
I just noticed your Carter honesuki is actually AS steel, not white. What happened to the heel on that guy?
