Rick's Knives

Just lovely!

 

Thanks!

Here's a trio of Tanaka R2 ironwood. Petty, sujihiki, gyuto.

 

Those are nice, great looking gear you have Rick. Really some of the most functional art on the planet im beginning ro learn

 

Those Tanaka's are beauties

 

Sweet... It is a long process to order a custom knife? What is a usual wait time?

 

Best to ask the custom knifemaker for an estimate. Six months is an average, but some custom knifemakers have longer waiting lists.

 

I really like the looks of Don's knives.
How do you like using it?

My first impression of Don was that he is a natural. I hope he sticks with the knife making.

 

I like it a lot, Mark. Drop me a PM if you'd like to borrow it for a while.

 

Nice lot you have posted. Can't wait to see what others you have yet to post. op

 

Thanks for the offer Rick but I better not. One day I will get one of Don's knives though.
A lot of new makers think they have to re-invent the kitchen knife and usually come up with monstrosities.
But with Don I think he came up with a new style that actually works out well.

BTW: your avatar photo is different than I had expected.
I guess in my mind you looked more like Jimmy Buffet.
My avatar, while it is not an actual photo of me, makes it easier for people to recognize me at the knife shows.

 

Rick, where is picture of Marko's AEB-L 180mm Gyuto with maple handle & Matching Saya??
:may I dibs it if you going to sale the knife

 

Oh, you mean this one?

 

Great looking knives how do you like the Marko's

 

That Marko is a beauty for sure and love the handles Don does. A lot of great knives Rick

 

yes! I'm looking for 180mm to-go gyuto for long long time; this knife is exactly what I want....
thanks for the picture!!
