Pictures of your new acquisitions

Does this count?

 

Not new knives, but new handles.
Buckeye on the HD2 Suji and Maple Burl on the Tanaka Blue 2 gyuoto.

 

the takamura looks really nice. ive been using a kono fujiyama petty 150mm for the past couple weeks for cutting my sushi rolls and all the veg during service. great score

 

Yup

 

Santa was a bit late but nevermind...
Tojiro F-698 165mm Santoku (shirogami #2)


Arrived a few weeks ago, so i have used and sharpened it already.

The next one may be familiar to some of you:


Yes, it is a Konosuke HD 240mm.

And the last but not least:

Ohira Range Suita natural stone from Greg as well.
Have to add that these have been really nicely and securely wrapped so they arrived without a hint of damage.
I could see the love and care these have been prepared for their last trip and now they've found a good home... I think.

 

Only if you show an action shot with a cold one.

 

I just got a package with what I think an excellent double-buy: a classic laser along with a thicker gyuto with what seems like a Kato:ish geometry.

Konosuke HD2 Gyuto 270 and Takayuki Damascus Gyuto 240. I think I will be able love them despite not being carbon.



A couple of more pictures are available here.

 

Forgecraft gyuto and cleaver,just need to decide what to do with them now?

 

Well, I can think of a couple of things...

 

Yup,they need a bit of love.

 

Gesshin Ginga White #2 240mm Sujihiki from Jon at JKI, the 240 length seems perfect so far for what I slice at home.

 

great choice! and i for one, like the little bit of macho gap.

 

Great score, Warren!

 

Thanks guys, very happy with it so far

 

That was probably a typo, but now I can't resist humming to myself: "Machi, machi man... I've got to be, a machi man!"

 

Man, why'd you have to go there?

 

I have the 210mm petty, same composition, frickin' love it!!!

 

Dealing with JKI has been a pleasure as well, nicely packaged and a hand written note in there, great touch!

 

Fujiwara nashiji 150 my wife let me buy for v day nothing says I love u like white steel clad in stainless
