After having been here a while, I figure I might as well post up a few pics. I figured when I'm forgetting knives that I've had I need someplace to record knives as they come and go
Kaeru 270 Stainless Suji
Kono HD2 210
Devin Thomas 225 AEB-L
Victorinox 8"
Victorinox 6" stiff boning
Misono 195 Swedish Carbon Lefty
Miyabi 90 paring
Tojiro 165 Santoku
Tojiro 165 Nakiri
Mazaki 170 Nakiri
I don't really consider the Tojiros part of my active kit as I never use them. However, my daughter and fiancee absolutely love them, so I can't replace them. I keep them sharp and they keep using them.
Two are for sale at the moment (Mazaki and Misono), but they are in my possession still so they get pictured. One knife inbound to be pictured when it lands.
Things I've sold since I started here:
ZKramer Carbon 8" - never felt right in the hand
ZKramer Carbon 10" - because someone asked nicely
Kono GS 240 - too lasery at the length for what I wanted
Kotetsu 180 Bunka - too thin at the edge for general use in my kitchen
Takeda Large NAS Nakiri - too much belly
Kaeru Stainless 210 Gyuto - just needed to make room for other stuff
Miyabi Birchwood 8" Chefs - balance point too far back
Miyabi Black 7" Santoku - wedged really bad, didn't want to try thinning
Zwilling Diplome 8" - balance point too far back
ZKramer Essential 10" - as I regretted selling the ZKramer 10" Carbon (and can't buy one in Canada anymore), tried to relive the experience with this and it just wasn't the same.
It'll be interesting to see how this changes in a couple of years.
