Pictures of your new acquisitions

This arrived last week.
A 260 Prendergast, incredible value.
Liking it a lot at the moment.
Lighter than I expected, and very thin behind the edge.
Very good cutter, one heck of a taper - couldn't get a good photo.
Very slow to patina.





Not sure if I've really captured the hammer finish all that well.





A comparison of the profile with my 245 Tansu.

 

Nice pick up Kev.

 

Nice one, Kev

 

Quite a pair. Nice

 

Thanks guys, enjoying them both

 

Pretty subtle damascus.

 

Very nice. I must admit Mareko is high on my list to get from.

And i do love this subtle damascus.

 

That is a beauty.

@Robin Dalman Gyuto 21 cm. AEBL. Handle: strongly figured birch masur, eindeer antler ferrule.
a "new finish" on this one, as well as the "new grind" (higher and slightly hollow).
It looks amazing. I will make a review in January. First impression are great and the first cuts of carrots were flawless.

 

Sweet looking knives!

 

Isaiah Schroeder 210 lazy twist Damascus.
1095 & 15n20

 

Dalman buttcrack nakiri with extra machi gap in case the handle loosens:


Then the weirdest, tallest double-bevel takobiki you've ever seen:

 

10th Anniversary Konosuke HD 240mm.
From what I'm told they made less than 10 of these.

 

The buttcrack is extra.

 

Bloodroot Blades 3½“ paring. Spalted maple handle, reclaimed VW Sway Bar @HRC 61.

 

Extremely elegant!

 

Okay Huw, let's see some patina pics from that Cru V now...My Cru V knife takes a wicked dark blue patina and that is from home use. Can't imagine how cool it looks from pro use.
