Lol
I have a problem.
The feeling of getting a new knife is like a drug. I am addicted to knives. I know a lot of people that loves knives and that make me want to buy more knives. I had to leave a friend chat because of that, I was passing more time talking about knives instead of talking to my wife. It turned in a obsession, many can call it hobby, but for me is not.
Have more than 100 knives and everyday I am planning in sell 50 of them but I end up not doing it.
Only one thing I am sure that the day I will become a father I will certainly keep only 35. That is the promise I did to myself and my future family [emoji128].
That's a good rule.Basically what I'm saying is 5-10 lifetimes worth of knives is where it may be too much.
We are not vultures we are just trying to helpHere comes the vultures. I can already start to see them circling. Run Preizzo, RUN

OmgMan, when I became a father the whole knife biting addiction graduated to a different level.... I’d say it jumped three levels at once.
Good luck lol

Yeah, I went through like 8 different ones. Before that I tried 5 different KS gyutos.
I mean that’s a totally normal thing to do though.
Always using all of my knives. [emoji6][emoji6][emoji8]Why do you do it? Honest question.
Are the KS and Gengetsu two knives that particularly rock your boat and have you kept the best of the best of the best? And, if so, are they a part of your knife roll and if not, why not?
Labor, you're in a unique position in that, not many people I know of have the opportunity to test a bunch the same knives—except for maybe Ashy2Classy and his six Mazakis or Preizzo and his giant herd of unused unicorns collecting dust.
Valuable info you have, would love to know which KS and Gengetsu beat out the rest and why. What's your current fancy with knives?
Jon, what guitars did you have? I was into international sourcing for vintage guitars, amps and tubes up to about 8 years ago before everything fell to ****.Absolutely this. For me it started with guitars and when that got out of hand switched to knives. Must be a distraction or something

Actually, it works quite well, it's made from existing commercial magnetic blocks, all fastened to a maple cutting board. I'll get a pic of it loaded when I get to the computer againYou would think. But then they would have to be just the right strength or they may be too hard to remove or serve no purpose. It’s not like a magnetic strip on the wall where you can roll the knives off. It seems like there won’t be enough room.
im still chasing the gengetsu I bought back in 2012ish. Still looking for it. Anybody got an old school gengetsu they want to let go of?Why do you do it? Honest question.

Just kidding ofcourse.

With regards to the KS, I bought a bunch to see if their was variance but their isn’t. All new batches look exactly the same.
I like Kaeru more than the KS, but I still haven’t tried a swed stainless version so I’m considering checking one out. They can be had for $350 if you know where to look.
Just received a Yoshikane sld and Kippington laser. They’re both a lotta fun to use.

I wasn’t aware that they’re 2 versions of the yoshi sld. You’re referring to the suminagashi line right?Keen to know what you tnink of the Kip laser. Mine is very thin behind the edge, less so at the heel end of the spine but with an extreme taper. Performs sort of like Akebono but thinner behind the edge and more taper (so more laser- like in the distal half). Noted that the grind is concave, wheras Akebono is convex.
Is your Yoshi the thin version or the workhorse version?
Sorry, my mistake. I read it as skd rather than sld.I wasn’t aware that they’re 2 versions of the yoshi sld. You’re referring to the suminagashi line right?
The vendor told me that wa and western were exact same blades but I was skeptical.
Try to find a hiromoto bolsterless honyaki, this thing is awesome after you tweak it.Post a pic of your Kip laser, very curious, more familiar with his pony and horse. I’ve never owned a laser, closest I’ve gotten was a Kono Fuji, which I sold. Have wanted a laser recently, maybe an Ikkanshi Tadatsuna if I can find one or a Ginga. Do you use the Kip laser for work, or prefer more mid weight knives on the job?
Best looking custom handle if you ask me!!View attachment 47151
Pine handle w g10 ferrule. It’s really nice.
When does J-knife collecting become a sickness?
