Limpet's knives

Discussion in 'Knife & Gear Galleries' started by limpet, Sep 22, 2014.

  1. I took some photos of my current collection. Beg your pardon for lousy light in the pictures. Also, my compact camera tends to "fisheye" angled photos somewhat, distorting them a bit.

  3. My favorite knife type is the gyuto 240, since they are good for most things and I like how they come in different sizes and shapes/profiles. And my favorite gyuto right now is the Masakage Shimo. It feels "right" somehow and very nimble. :)

    Nice collection. Love to see people's stuff. Thanks for sharing
     
  5. Ok, so here's an update on my knives. I keep telling myself to stop buying new ones, but apparantly I don't listen... [​IMG]

    Here are some pictures. I beg your pardon for the poor light making many details on the blades disappear. [​IMG]

    Many of these knives will soon be oiled and put back into their boxes. I don't have room for all of them in my kitchen so I will start to rotate them each month. They all deserve to be used.

  7. How about rotating your knives around the world and sending some of them to me? :)
    BTW, where did you get Wakui 80mm petty? Is it stainless cladded?

    When I said they all deserve to be used, what I really meant was: they all deserve to be used by me! :D

    I bought the Wakui petty from a knife shop in Stockholm, Sweden. It's white #2 with stainless cladding.

    Although it says the blade is 80 mm, my petty is actually at least 85 mm edge length and more than 95 mm blade length.
     
  9. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!
    Love those Katos.
     
  10. The knife collection continues to grow. I should probably stop buying new knives and spend the rest of the year cooking and sharpening with what I already got. Well... let's see what happens... :)

    A kitchen cabinet full of gyutos plus one big nakiri.

    A bookshelf with some sujis and medium sized knives. My sharpening stones are visible a couple of shelves down.
