Pictures of your new acquisitions

love the handles on the markos

 

had a request for better pic of the Ealy line knife, so went out and shot a few this afternoon. Here ya go!

Got a chance to use this a bit today for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Really great as a line knife - handles well and feels great in hand.

 

Absolutely gorgeous! Dammit, Dell, you've done it again!

 

I love that damascus, it reminds me of stained glass.

 

250 Damascus
250 heavy chefs
220 western

Marko's triple play teaser picture. Needless to say fit and finish are over the top. All currently being rotated with the Damascus gone under 4 heavy hours of kitchen prep; performing beautifully; quite easy on the eye as well - just a beautiful knife, one you want to display next to your family pictures but know it likes being used and "abused".

The western is a mean and nimble supper cuter at 220, it's somewhat changing my perception of what I thought was a good size and handle for me...

More to come once I have more time in the kitchen with these

Fantastic work Marko - thank you

 

Spectacular. I love my Marko!

 

Great, GREAT set of gyutos!

 

Konosuke HD2 300mm Suji arrived today,... along with a white tube of mystery you can read about here http://www.kitchenknifefora.com/threads/i-have-loaners-to-play-with.498/, well once I start writing about them anyway

 

You got bit hard. enjoy the knives... a300 Suji is my next knife purchase I think.

 

Well I didnt have one decent knife before... so I bought a set so my kitchen is complete. Im really done for now, who knows with group buys down the road but only special things will change that

 

Hopefully this gorgeous knife will stop from changing hands ump

With another svelte friend (Takamura):

 

So, here is the 270 Mizuno I bought. This was sold me me as used, but never sharpened. I believe it: the knife was was dull as a baseball, and had lost a bit of its tip (and looks like it was cleaned with a Brillo pad a few times), but didn't look like it had ever been put to a stone. The first pic is the picture the seller gave, and the second is what it looks like after a little TLC. I'm not going to bother posting a choil, as I'm sure I'll be thinning the knife a bit. Just have to figure out if I want to do it myself, or send it to somebody, but I'm going to use it as is, for a while. It gets very keen, and while it's a stout knife, and definitely wedged a bit on the sweet potatoes I just cut, it was great on tomatoes and onions, and it has a very nice draw for slicing. I like it, especially for $260 shipped.

 

Hell yeah! Nice Miz!

 

mizuno makes some nice knives. i love mine

 

I had one years ago that I should never have let go, and I'm glad to have one again.

 

Marko 250 from lottery. I will say that Marko has really outdone himself on this one. To say very nice work wouldn't come close to doing this one justice. And neither do these quick cell pics from Saturday morning. Please excuse the foot o_O

 

Looks great Marc , can't wait for mine

 

Not exactly a new buy, but this 165mm Shig Nakiri was bought from Maxim about a year ago and recently rehandled by Stefan with some finishing touches by Dave. The D shape was a bit of a challenge for Stefan, but he did a great job. The handle is Wild Almond Burl along with an ivory spacer and a Blackwood ferrule. My sincere thanks to Stefan and Dave for their craftsmanship.

 

Very beautiful knives, everyone.

Will post some of mine soon.
