My first Maillet! Definitely has a really flat profile so we’ll see how that agrees with me, but the taper/tip look really functional! Can’t wait to take it to stones eventually to bring out some more detail in the twisted wrought damascus.

@Skye Eilers Knives French chef in 52100, and a custom 225x52 in stainless-clad vtoku2
Impressive f&f on the French chef for a “production” knife - definitely an incredible value at the price point. And the custom ain’t half bad either.

Could well be that this will make my other one from Will obsolete…

on they way to me from Croatia
My new custom from Spare sitting next to the knife I asked him to re-create. Little bit different so I'm going to have to give myself a bit of time to see if it fills the need I'm trying to fill. Well executed as always though.

Day 3 and it's another Birgersson. This time from his new stainless clad offering! Got myself a 181mm x 51 mm to serve as a low maintenance quick prep knife. It's in a weird spot in my collection as I have a stainless bunka from Knot.handcrafted that I reach for instead so it might hit BST in the near future. 147g with a burnt ash handle
Spoiler for tomorrow I have a forum favourite with an amazing handle

I see a one-piece handle with some burl action in the middle…
Followup:
Played around with a few handles and settled on a Louisiana sinker cypress w/ ironwood ferrule (SWAMP) to plunk on the Shindo. Final weight 199 g but I left the balance quite aggressive so it feels better than that.
Here's a little clip of my first sweet potater try with it, still the mediocre factory edge
So I saw a few guesses for today's knife but maybe I should have specified a "recent favourite" and added desert ironwood handle. Today's knife, which arrived only 3 days ago, is from @eddworks. A 226 mm x 55 mm gyuto at 204g from 52100 steel. I asked for the knife to be on the thinner side of his target margin values as I prefer lighter knives. And, like every other testimony, it is amazing! I absolutely love the knife, it cuts well and the food release is so satisfying. Also I have to note that the knife tapers from 5.2 mm over the heel to 0.6 mm at 1cm before the tip and it is just so comfortable. For the handle, I wasn't completely satisfied with the figure I saw on the ironwodd Ed had, so I was allowed to buy directly a blank from his supplier and I chose one that I found was very nice and it came out stunning. Thank you again for the knife @eddworks
Tomorrow is the last knife from that shopping spree and some of you already guessed

The whole package is gorgeous, but ooh-mommy that handle. It looks like a violent cosmic event frozen in time. (tips hat)

I have one from that batch on the way too! Very similar to yours - 207x51 in 52100 with ironwood, and I also asked for extra-thin. Great minds think alike.
That’s a stunning piece of ironwood you selected for sure.
This is a Maillet x Mazaki collab. Simon forged out some billets using Scottish wrought iron. Those billets were then sent to Mazaki in Japan, and he forged the knife with his shirogami and used the wrought for cladding. I’m told it’s Mazaki’s first time using wrought iron. It came in at 246x55 and 292g. The top two photos are from Simon and shows the wrought. The bottom two are from Mazaki. He made two knives with those billets. Letshandlethis made the handle and rockchopknifeco did the polishing. I haven't used it yet, but aesthetically, it's a beauty!
That’s awesome

Takedas. I took a group photo when they arrived 2 years ago and I just fund this picture on my phone today. They are the last knifes that could be ordered direct from Takeda-san.
