Any chance of a choil shot?

On a side note, super jealous of that knife rack.

Can attest that Kawachi 240’s are great. I have the regular 240 (non k-tip) and it’s wonderful

What is the second to last Dammy on the left? Nice collection BTW

I also have the non-k-tip 240 version. It is a great cutter. I would not call the knife a laser nor a workhorse but in between. Whoever buys this knife will be happy

Second from the left is a Shun Kramer Meiji. I think it the only production knife I have. It’s a very nice package. Use it for breaking down cauliflower and broccoli sometime for butterflying shrimp.
