Pictures of your new acquisitions

Well, I bought the Kochi because I was having a hard time waiting on this one...hopefully better pics to follow.

 

Some new knives from Wakui: Nakiri 180 mm and Petty 85 mm. Both in shirogami #2 with stainless cladding.



Also, a mini-nakiri from Murata in aogami #1 and reactive kurouchi cladding. Edge length 135 mm, 42 mm tall at the heel, weight 96 grams. Here it is along with some other knives for comparison.

 

Very nice, me likey!!!

 

Cool. I've got a Zakuri 120mm nakiri similar to that...needed some work (still needs some actually) but a very neat and fun little knife that's really handy in a small kitchen.

 

Shig 180 kitaeji new to me but the previous owner asked for a small handle so it will be getting new shoes soon

 

Is that the one you grabbed from the Abf ? Congrats

 

Noice

 

It is.

 

In short, one of the best cutters I own. Hardly anything sticks to it, super thin distal taper on tip but with no flex. Big spine yet thin where it counts. And the handle, I did have doubts on this, is actually extremely effective and comfortable.
I'm still baffled as to where this Mr Billipp came from and how he was able to "figure out" great knife making. I think he secretly spent time with Mr Kiyoshi Kato or some other knife wizard of that caliber.

 

My latest acquisition:

A Chef knife 270mm (10.63'') made by Michael Andersson from Sweden.

The blade: a twist Damascus multibar blade with Explosion edge (15N20 and 1870).

The handle: integral bolster, a Mammoth Ivory and a Damascus butt cap.

Overall length is 410mm (16.14").
Blade length 270mm (10.63"), 39.2mm (1.54'') high at heel
Weight is 375g.
Spine at heel is 3.11mm, 1.29mm near the tip.

 

Wow thats a monster!incredible work.

 

Been a a long wait.

David Broadwell 270+mm Aeb-l San Mai Damascus. Handle with Ash wood, Carved Spalted Maple. Tooled Copper.

​

 

My favorite part of it is that pin in the middle with a "B" in it. Craftsmanship at its finest.

 

That handle is stunning!

 

Magnus has all the cool stuff!!!

 

Has he posted his razor collection yet? So impressive!!

Shigefusa honesuki, pictured with Kato honesuki (or should I called it garasuki)

 

Not as exotic as most here but.....
Have the 150mm petty, the 210mm gyuto, and now the 240mm gyuto
Guess it's safe to say I'm a fan of the Fujiwara Nashiji

 

Is the kato double bevelled?
