Aawww yes aogami super is so good. Georgeous as well!

Very nice, wouldn't recommend it for gardening though

Vegetable knife, innit.

that looks fantastic. it's a style I've always been interested to have. are you adding it to a collection?

I'm a chef so always have had a "collection". This is a big step up though.

Because I always forget

That looks fabulous, I have a Fujiwara Denka nakiri that I love for veg prep.

I had been eyeing up another Yoshikane Hamono SKD knife, his kiritsuke gyuto and then got a 15% code from cutting edge knives this morning… I have a big conventional gyuto in SKD from him which is amazing but often a little bigger than I need when doing food prep for two. I also have a white steel bunka from him which gets a lot of use. His fit and finish is fantastic, a rounded spine, thin taper, and I like the flatter belly on his knives - not so good for rocking cuts but great for push cuts. The SKD has an even higher Rockwell hardness than the white steel, so keeps its edge better too.

Have you worked with carbon knives before? I'm no chef, but just wonder if it's practical enough for a pro.

Yeah, CCK cleaver. I use it for prep tasks and bust out the globals for fucking up during service.

Edit: I use this most days and a carving knife on Sundays. The nakiri replaces a 18cm santoku global.

Is that the dark birch handle?

I have the same on my gyuto and have asked for one again on the kiritsuke

Yeah but my hand is fucked so I need a bigger handle so it'll be getting replaced

Possibly contact josh At Letshandlethis

He does lovely custom wa handles

That's where I was going to go. I just struggle to close my middle finger well since my bicycle got into an argument with a car. OK for short sessions but need something bigger eventually.

I've only heard good stuff about the denka. I think I'll grab a nicer carving knife then I'm done. Well other than a BBW.

Gave my gardening lambs foot pocket knife some love - removed the rust, sharpened and oiled the scales. Love this little guy.

Nice. I have a similar understated little French knife with a second pruning blade. Love it for gardening tasks.

Nakagawa kiritsuke, blue steel? Lovely handle 👌

I left my Boker Plus Atlas in the communal polytunnel at the allotment yesterday. Off to see if it is still there, if not the Brass ones are in stock at HH so n=n is an option still.

Edit: exactly where I had left it, reunited.

Yoshikane Hamono skd kiritsuke gyuto

Used to make these for friends, usually around this time of year to give their Das for Father’s Day.

Just made this one as a replacement for one I made 12 years ago. 54mm Finnish carbon blade, two wine corks, and a twine wrap. It floats!

That's very nifty. Did you come up with the cork design yourself?

Thanks!

I think I came up with the design on my own? It’s been about two decades since I made the first one, so it’s been a while.

I’ve also used champagne corks with wider blades, but still on the smaller side.
