My latest purchase. Loving it.TF denka 195 gyuto
Hey Jason, CK TG is expecting Stainless Clad/ White#2 core Sanjo Konosuke.I wish thereās Stainless clad/SS versions of Konosuke Fujiyama FM 240-270mm
Since I seem to have started a Konosuke collection this year, adding the following would answer questions I have
Fujiyama FM in Blue 1 or 2
GS+
SKD
Sumiiro
in 210 lentgh.
Hmm... a Kipp, a Denka, a Wat Pro, and a Halcyon Forge feather dammy would be nice. If I'm very lucky, I might have the budget for one of those this year... not the HF though.
Failing that, I'd take COVID settling down enough that I can sit down and eat in places where someone else can do the hard work and chop up food for me...

... got not one but two Kipps so far this year.
i heard mr kippington wasn't taking more orders. ...?
i see. thanks. i understand. i've seen occasional pre-made and used ones on the forum, too.
Mine does the same with those type of requests, at least I am not the only one receiving this type of treatment. Now I can't hold it against herWife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, so I sent her a link to a Hitohira (Togashi x Yohei) 240mm wa gyuto, blue#1 mizu honyaki, with a persimmon handle.
I think she will ignore that request, oh well...
Aside from universal wishes for peace, health, and happiness for myself I'm looking for:
Another Kippington (highly likely since I'm on his wait list)
An AEB-L gyuto (hopefully a 225 but I'm flexible) from @DevinT, @RDalman, or @RRLOVER (Mario)
another mid grit JNAT or two that finishes in the 3 - 5k realm that isn't too hard and has both reasonably good speed and decent feel
a bit further down my list
Kagekiyo or Kono Fujiyama 240 gyuto in B1 or B2
Kochi w/machi
Iron clad Wat or Toyama 240 gyuto
a nice but not crazy expensive kiridashi
a suita of some sort
maybe a Naniwa Pro 800
I just saw Kipās chevron hook grind for the first time on Instagram and I donāt know if I have seen anything more amazing that that.
The only item in my wishlist is to just try that grind out sometime before I die. Judging by how popular he is, donāt know if that is going to happenā¦
I believe it. I am a little late to the game and so I have been reading older threads regarding the development of his grinds and techniques. Truly amazing to see someone push the boundaries and introduce new concepts to a tool that has been used for who knows how long. I tend to gravitate towards performance and functionality first but I imagine that it would take ājewelry knifeā money to convince someone to give up their Kip. At the very least, it is always a pleasure to see someone post a cutting vid of them using their Kip!IMO Julian/Kippington is the real deal, within the constraints of the techniques and the materials he likes to work with (monosteel only, 52100, AEB-L or Nitro-V for stainless, and whatever he is using these days for his rare honyakis W2?) I don't think there is anyone doing finer work. They aren't jewelry knives, his decisions are all about performance/functionality, but the attention to detail and F&F are absolutely first rate.
Well that failed miserably...I'm not allowed to buy more knives for a while.
