Pictures of your new acquisitions

Kyle Hanson Sunfishforge W1 parer with some awesome Koa

 

That IS some good looking Koa

 

Man I can not wait to post in this thread with an acquisition

 

Kyle puts out some wicked stuff. Soon enough he'll catch his old man.

 

All apologies for the awful cell pics, it was quite late last night when all was quiet through the house...

Konosuke Fujiyama blue#2 in 240 and some stainless Damascus spoons

 

Nice!

 

I cannot wait for you to receive your Rader, it's looking awesome!

 

Trying out a Goku Damascus 240 and Richmond Sab 52100. Moderately impressed by the Goku if it has a different handle and the Sab is turning into a something that will pull its weight.


Thought I had a picture of them together... Oh well.
The Goku will probably find its way to BST unless a coworker picks it up.

 

You really scored with this knife.
The Koa was some of the best fiddleback I had seen.

 

Some new rocks. Ikarashi 1-3k, and Takashima. Outstanding natural set. Loving the finish of the Ikarashi for my protein slicing - Zakuri 270 Aogami Super Suji and Henkels Friodour boner. Also trying finish on Gutos - seeing if adequate for finish. Leaves a nice scratch pattern for low grit. Takashima cleans it up and finishes around 5-9k for clean slices. I think mine is a bit softer. Love them both. Used on Aogami Super, CPM154, AEBL, V2, Blue no 2, and vintage american carbon all with good results. Ikarashi from JNS, Takashima from JKI.

I'm loving that Kyle Hanson parer. The profile looks great and man is that a cool hamon. Nothing wrong with the handle either.
Have to check out more of his work. Nice catch, CB!

Thanks Mark, Don did mention when he posted the knife that the Koa was some of the best he had seen.

Thanks Jesper, Don and Kyle dont make a lot of kitchen knives but definetely worth checking out, Huw put me onto this one.

 

Bought this 2nd-hand Shig Kitaeji deba just before new year and forwarded it to pkjames to build a new saya for it.
Just got it back in time for a new KKF shot.

 

Here is my new toy that I cannot put down. 220mm W2 Gyuto from MR. (Photo from Rader's site)

 

Such a crisp hamon, Love Rader, top bloke too. He said very nice things to me and encouraged me when I started out.

 

Gorgeous hamon with a gorgeous handle! Lucky!

 

That Rader just Looks cool. I think it knows this as well.

 

Nice understated handles---I really like them. Just bought a ready-made one from Ken, can't wait to see it.

 

Chop,

how are you liking this?
