Knife porn thread

I've got a 9' gyuto and a petty from the same series as my main knives. Lovely knives and no need to be precious about them.

The way to get Damascus to appear is to etch the knife. In this case, however, it looks like they left it in a bit tooo long.

I have a very nice gyuto that looks etched but is 100% hand forged Damascus. It really depends on the finish.

I dont know if it's been recommended here but https://japanesechefsknife.com/ is great for knives from all price points. I've bought a couple from him over the years and they are always well priced and without custom fees.
