Pictures of your new acquisitions

Grilled Octopus.

 

Mmmm. That sounds great.

 

I have not been so great with my knife budget...this one came on Saturday:

 

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!

 

gosh Matt u are knocking it out of the park every time

 

What's a "budget" ? Some type of bug?

Nice looking knife!

 

Hey guys.. I've been reading lots of posts and made a couple of purchases this week.. here are some pics of the first two to arrive.

Sukenari zdp189 240mm Gyuto
Takamura Migaki R2 210mm

 

congratulations Victor ....any cutting reports?

 

Thanks Jim.. no cutting reports just yet. They came right before I left for work.. I unboxed them and admired them for a few mins.. then I snapped a few photos and left.. I will be meal prepping Saturday and will give them a whirl. I've also got 4 others in the mail. (Only slightly addicting)

Welcome to the club Victor. Fantastic start there for sure

 

Picked up this gem, Itsuo Doi 240mm gyuto:

 

Gem indeed Matt.
Congratulations.

 

Sweet Matt. I like the pointy tip profile.

 

How's that bad boy Doi cut, Matt?

 

Thanks!!!! I'm excited for them and I think I'm officially addicted.. I'm going to start selling off some custom pocket knives so I can get some more kitchen knives so much more useful

Haha! It's a hungry addiction for certain

 

Ok here's a quick update pic of my humble collection as of today..

Toyama Noborikoi kasumi nakiri 210mm
Sukenari zdp189 Damascus gyuto 240mm
Gesshin Ginga white #2 wa-gyuto 240mm
Takamura Migaki r2 western handle gyuto 210mm
Kramer by Zwilling Damascus chef's knife 8"
Gesshin Ginga stainless wa-petty 150mm

 

That's a nice range of gyutos there. Each one offering a different but enjoyable cutting experience. Well done!

It's clear you're not fighting this "addiction" (why should you?), so I'm curious how this budding set grows. It certainly doesn't need to grow, as you've got most of the important points covered. But...

 

Wow, that was fast. Good on you. Never seen a 210 nakiri before.
