Itinomonn ajikiri
R. Murphy boning knife
Heiji semi stainless 210mm gyuto

From the top, right column
300mm Shigefusa yanagiba
270mm Shigefusa mioroshi
270mm Masamoto KS gyuto
210mm Watanabe deba
210mm Heiji sujihiki

and the ever important Mac shears.

 

Interesting set, Andre! Most of the collections I've seen had mostly gyutos in them so it's nice to see something less gyuto-oriented for a change.

 

Nice kit, thanks for sharing!

 

Shig 270mm Mioroshi deba......... C'MON MAN!!! :like ump :cool1 Frickin' beautiful knife & functionally awesome kit. Thanks for sharing.

 

I used to do a lot of fish work, and I still do quite a bit. I really only need the two gyutos or the KS and the suji. Any more gyutos and I end up having drawer queens. As it is the Heiji gyuto hasn't come out since I got the suji. I have a bad case of seller's remorse on a 240mm Watanabe. I have a knife coming up to replace the KS with something with a little better retention, get another Watanabe or maybe another Toyama and call it a day for a while.

 

this is 'happy family special' on chinese takeout menu.
what do you use ajikiri for?

 

Not a damn thing. I bought it to see what Itinomonn single bevels were all about, made it a saya, and have been waiting for some sardines or something. I'll probably move it on pretty soon.
