My favorite color is BLUE!.............A patina thread.

is the handle on this comfortable. The geometry is interesting but wasnt sure if art for art sake.

It's definitely done for art sake and I love the look. Just holding it it's comfy but too small. In use in a pinch grip you don't notice it at all.

@Andrei 's knives are just plain excellent at everything! This had a great patina base, then sliced limes for happy hour. It sat for approximately 2 Tanqueray Tonics, and morphed.

I knew this was an amazing knife. My custom is coming up very soon and I already have an amazing knife from him. Otherwise, I would totally have bought this.

Dominik is the MAN. A young man… but still indeed the man. I have been impressed with him from day one. I use one of his first full tangs every day at work. Still absolutely rules.

Question - is that a typical size over on your side of the pond?

It seems much smaller than here.

 

[JMeen]

It varies, but this is indeed on the smaller side.

Post morning food prep - Masaya Shimizu x Tanaka Aogami Super. I know opinions on mirror finishes vary, but once a good patina settles in the knife performs like a monster.

That hamon!!! I also noticed that honyakis that are not super simple steels get them brown patinas (mizuno aogami 2)

W2 / 135cr3 react and turns blue if you breath on it too hard.

Sir. I strongly suggest you do not adventure around with a kitchen knife out like that.

i suppose one advantage of being in new york city is that most people would just shrug and let me be weird outside
