Had a talk with my therapist about this today. Nothing like slots in granite to store your knives. The sound it makes when they pull them out is brutal.
Very nice knife from Erick Gullikson. It took the number one spot for best cutters that I own. I thought I wasn’t a fan of the tall gyutos but I guess I was wrong. I also really dig the 2 stage tip.

I used to restore old cast iron skillets and ship them off to people. I used a foam noodle for packaging, good cost effective option. Never had one crack. Great idea for knives too @gentiscid, never even thought of it.
Finally got one in his last drop wasn't supposed to show up until after the new year, but got a surprise knock on the door this morning!

I am not on his books for a custom, he also told me he's not really into customs anymore and likes to stick with his proven designs these days. I am just on his list to claim one of his next small batch of 52100 gyutos.
On Kippingtons books for his next small batch. My number one for '24 is to get on @Skye Eilers Knives books I cant get enough of his work, and hoping to pick up a Yanick and Raquin. Well see how that plays out tho.
