Seems like a lot more forged geometry instead of grinding

I've always liked how the S-grinds perform, but disliked actually grinding them. Forging is a bit more abstract, and a lot more fun. And I think it looks better. And from a process perspective, it makes more sense. This nakiri was an experiment that turned out well, I need more practice but I'm definitely trending in that direction.

 

[Genghis_F]

Really cool that the geometry is forged in
I’m sure more efficient but also more elegant!
Loving it so far!

Wüsthof done it again. For years my favorite kitchen knife was an Chicago Cutlery 6" chef's knife. It vanished don't know what happened to it. They no longer make one this size. I have a couple of JCK knives about this size but they still don't have the blade shape of the Chicago knife. I was notified by Wüsthof of a sale and one of the knives on sale was this one. It has the same blade shape as the Chicago 6" only much better quality. The Zwilling knife block I have that is the size of a tree stump has an empty slot just waiting to be filled. My German Butcher Uncles are looking down at me with approval in their eyes. Will post photos when I get it.

That little Swedish parer is definitely one of the best Japanese production parers

Goku hagane

I've seen it on kama asa knives when I searched. It feels like an extra easy to abrade white steel. Maybe vacuum remelt white steel? Feels most like hinoura white but more easy to abrade, yet harder. Closest knife steel I've sharpened, to iwasaki tamahagane. 300mm yanagiba with a weird, worn ura.

Noooo! Keep that HO handle (or give it to me!)!!!

It is my main Zen green onion slicer, thin, sharp, well balanced, the only other paring knife I have that is its equal is the Wüsthof Classic Ikon 3.5" paring. The Wüsthof has a slight edge because of its great handle.

You can see the Misono is taking on a patia

This is what my translation app translates the label on the Misono

Some people do find the handle a little slim. Other great production parers are mac pro and shun classic.

Takada no Hamono Hanabi Shiro 2 santoku and Sakai Kikumori Nakagawa Ginsan petty. Got the santoku from Takada in his shop in Osaka and the petty directly from Kawamura Hamono.

Absolutely, he was very patient (I did a pivot on the suji handle - it was supposed to be the redwood but decided to snag a satinwood instead, then the WIP block became a ferrule) and the results are fantastic

what wood is this

For the Fellipi, maple burl
For the Nigara Hamono, satinwood + redwood ferrule

 

[More_Gyutos]

Wow. Gorgeous!

Really cool knives and characteristically amazing work by @tostadas! that highly faceted handle on the wrought iron knife is really something.
