Jim how do you feel about the differences in feel of the western style handles and the octagonal ones ?, do you have a preference as far as comfort and grip or just used to both it doesnt really factor anymore

those are beautiful knives btw, stunning

 

Big Chopper is my favorite. Very stunning collection you have.

 

Thanks Guys! James the pinch grip really changes the game, I much prefer the Wa or as you mentioned octagonal handles.

The only thing I hold like a pistol is my big slicers with western handles.

 

I Pinch, but I have only ever owned western style grips, was very curious about the Wa

 

You just need to try them to see how it feels, the biggest difference is the weight of the knife is "out front" something I greatly prefer.

 

Hey, I know that dude.

 

How many Jays are there?

 

Beautiful hardware Jim. Must be a pleasure to prep for a meal.

 

I have one knife that has a wa, and it was a gift from a chef friend of mine, and now i prefer them to the western handles.

 

Nice collection Jim, I see one I recognize! No idea you had it!

 

Good grief man, you just rummage through the kitchen looking for things to chop don't you? Awesome collection!

 

Na... I only wish, that is listed under loaners!

 

Hey there is always french onion soup!

 

Fantastic collection, thank you for posting it!

 

Most excellent collection Jim!!

 

Very nice collection!

 

That's a nice set of steel there.

 

Now them's some real SHOW KNIVES.....

They need a shadow box display case to really set them off (or not)
