Pictures of your new acquisitions

damn! mert should have you take pics for his knives all the time! that thing is freaking beautiful. thanks for sharing. the grind looks so badass

 

This looks like a really great folder.

 

Wow a trifecta of impressive knives/ broadheads.

 

I can tell you that the Tansu I own, is a true pleasure to work with. Fit & finish impeccable, craftmanship superior, quality of materials used, outstanding, an overall "KILLER" knife.

 

My first Konosuke Fujiyamas. Gyuto 240 & Petty 150. Beautiful knives.

 

They look pretty good.

 

looks sexy !

 

Yeah, and then my lizard brain made me buy a Fujiyama white #1 & white #2 as well. Clearly overkill. Probably gonna sell the white #2. Here they are alongside the blue #2.

 

Also got me a Shigefusa Gyuto 180 from Maksim. Cute little bugger.

 

Finally, a Toyama Noborikoi Kasumi Gyuto 240, also from Maksim. Very nice looking blade. Tall and heavy.

 

Very nice, limpet. I like mine a lot.

 

Have so many gyutos decided to add another petty.

Shimo 150

 

im up for trades, i have zero gyutos right now. and i have five sujis.

 

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this one. I've been looking at this for a bit now but just never pulled the trigger.

 

Not a knife but a saya nomi from bloodroot blades.

 

Sorry, haven't used the Toyama Noborikoi much yet so I have nothing but first impressions.

It's not a bad knife, that's for sure. I like the heavy feeling when holding it, since it makes it different from many other knives I have. You feel like you want to chop something when holding it. Looks a lot like Itinomonn Kasumi, but this knife has fully reactive cladding.

Used and compared it a bit along with my Itinomonn Kasumi Gyuto 270, and the Toyama felt heavier and thicker. The Itinomonn glides through product better, the thicker Toyama will wedge more often and earlier in the cut but also separates better. After changing from Toyama to Itinomonn the cutting got a bit smoother but also felt stickier. Not strange really considering the geometry. This comparison was made on hard stuff like carrots and swedish turnips.

Again, these are my first impressions. I may change some details in my thoughts on this knife in the future, but as I said: not a bad knife.

 

WAT?! A custom made chisel for sayas from bloodroot? No words can describe the level of my envy uch

 

Ive been chasing a saya nomi for a while and it was the same price or cheaper than off the shelf ones,was a bit of a wait though

 

Some great stuff there guys!!
Picked up a couple more myself.

A Tansu Gytuo and Nakiri from Cassca.


Only limited use with Mert's knife so far, but he makes a really great cutter!!


Again only limited use with the Nakiri from Cassca/Bryan but again a great cutter!


Still have to do a review of these and the Gyuto's from Haburn and Cris Anderson, will sort that out in a week or so

 

What do you use this for?

Someone has it baaaaadddd.
