Pictures of your new acquisitions

That Lisch really is a stunner.

 

I can't link to the auction, because there is still one left, and I haven't gotten the knife yet, but I got one of the Sakai Ichimonji 240mm blue steel gyutos from bluewayjapan. Pictures will follow.

 

you can link BIN's (Buy it nows) just not live bidding auctions

 

Figured it out, I think. PITA trying to do it on my phone. I really should get my computer fixed.

 

Oh snap, is that a wide bevel?

 

It is. I am anxious, I feel I will either love it or it'll be on the BST pretty fast.

 

Just saw this, really a great looking knife. Of course, I love the handle as least as much as the steel...

Whats a wide bevel and why do I want one ?

 

It is a double beveled knife with the wider bevel characteristic of a single bevel knife, but with a big bevel on both sides. The wide bevel style has a few things about it: it gets thinned as a part of sharpening so geometry is maintained, things tend not to stick to them, and they are cool looking. You get a nice big bevel to create contrast on.

 

I have one of their Satoku's. I really like it.

 

And they are usually terrific cutters with thin, thin edges. Also, the grind is usually pretty flawless, as this style takes some skill.

Looks like a killer knife....

 

Now I can petty the fool


more on this story as it developes

Itinomonn 270 kasumi gyuto. It's a beast!!!

 

James,
Is it a Masakage Koishi? Are you developing a brand loyalty? Whatever it is, it is sweeeeet! I have a 150 Wa Petty Masakage yuki purchased from a member here and is mighty fine. still getting used to it, but it brings it.

 

Two packages arrived within a week

 

How nice, CB. What's the board you are using there, Board Smith?

 

A guy in South Australia is making these 900 x 600 x 60mm Jarrah, choppablock is his business name.

 

Cool I've been considering an oak board from him.

 

Yes.... no... I love my yuki nakiri, veg quakes in its shadow lol
