I tried to like this Facebook post, but I'm waiting to get approved to join the group...

I really hope this knife is used in a sushi bar scene in the new blade runner movie! Retrowave post-postmodern irony. :doublethumbsup:

Hahha. I love his decry of innovation.... with nothing innovative about it.

Offset handle - been done before.
High end damascus steel yanagi - done before.
Flat backside - done on super cheap yanagis
Off the shelf heat treat...

Like I don't actually move the shape aesthetically. Probably wouldn't pay for it to use. But it ain't a yanagiba and all his talk of being innovative was hilarious given he was in no way innovative.

I'm sure his client loves it. I'm sure it cuts well. But it is what it is and it ain't what it ain't.

I didn't think Metros were into acid.

 

[LifeByA1000Cuts]

I don't know ... that Meglio is only ugly in a "not the prettiest in the room but there's a sudden lack of space in your pants" way And flat backsides can have just that absurd effect at times (actually, it does make me wonder, given there are $30 yanagibas that have a urasuki).

I want dis knaf!

It is still quite possible for a child to slice her hand or fingers with this device.

Steel is waaaaay overrated—wood is the new steel!

I had to go check this out. These knives start at $440, and go up to $2400!! :bigeek: I actually don't think they're ugly, though. Crazy, maybe, but not ugly.

They also offer a "Stone Washed Santoku"!! :laugh: It's not especially ugly, but it is hilarious!

EDIT: It's not especially attractive, either, just to be clear.

Sure is ugly... In a "only a mother could love it" kind of way.

 

[Noodle Soup]

If they took all those funny groves off the blade, I would consider it useable. Never have understood the point of groves, scallops etc. above the edge. On the original English Grantons they were part of the cutting edge.

Another one of those Hammer Stahl things. Nakiri, sort of, with more belly than me! Fugly.

It's like they combined a crinkle cutter with a double bevel kids knife... Urghaly

 

[Noodle Soup]

But without the scallops/groves, it is pretty close to the pattern all Thai's love. I don't see it as being that bad.

Le Duck is French for butt ugly...

 

[Marek07]

What the duck?!? Speechless!

 

[Noodle Soup]

I thought that looked like an Outdoor Edge knife and it was when I checked. Nothing to do with France. Not to my taste but it is a neck carry sheath knife, not a kitchen blade.

 

[milkbaby]

I hesitated to post this knife here because in a certain way it's kinda cool. The damascus pattern is really nice actually. But all the disparate elements thrown together make the total package kinda ugly. Those of you who recognize the background will know which retailer has this for sale.

Kitchen sink handle aside, what's the purpose of the hollowed out spine?

"The harpoon tip is a fun, playful touch!" according to the description.

Yeah, but is it quenched in the blood of sailors?

I think a white whale may be involved ...

Hmmm, that woman cooking in the promo video on their site does seem to a know a thing or two about cooking though. Notice her grip on the knife, and how she is cooking fish and fried eggs on a stainless pan without anything sticking.
