Rick's Knives

I second this notion! Get to work Hans! If you want, I'll even take the pictures. Even if it means lugging my big camera down there. Then it means I can fondle all your knives!

 

Shigefusa kitaeji 21 cm western gyuto.

 

There are two rules o knife forum:

1. Marko's blades are awesome.

2. You might not get that blade any time soon -- but it is worth the wait.

Where's that handsome DT Damascus I thought you had, if I'm not mistaking

 

All this talk of cimiters and scimitars, so I went to the 'Bay and got one. A Dexter 32910 10” cimiter. Nicer than I expected. The rosewood handle is in very good shape. As expected, it arrived with no edge to speak of, but that's easily remedied.

 

Rick your knives are all awesome, but this Shig is really special...

 

That looks like a "Keeper" Rick!

 

Alas, the Shigefusa kitaeji moves on to a new home today.

Thanks for the comments!

 

The Mert Tansu "family":

 

Rick, looks like all your other pics are defunct, did you move from photobucket?

 

I'm trying to restore them from my archives, Matt.

And ... done!

More to come.

 

Nice, thanks.

 

Scorpion Forge 24 cm AEB-L XH gyuto

The sweet potato never had a chance.

Very pretty knife Rick. Congratulations .

 

Salem Straub (Promethean Knives) 9” chef’s

CruForgeV clad in 416 SS
HRC 62
Box Elder Burl Handle

That Straub is very handsome.

 

He even gave it a name. "Fire Wing", and more pics on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/salem.stra...88619157211.1073741871.100001982551950&type=3

It needs a little thinning behind the edge when I work up my courage enough to take a pretty thing like that to a 300 King...

 

Mind boggling... Very nice collection Rick!
