I like it allot. I have seven of his knives and all are super cutters. This has the feel of a nakiri with the strength of a cleaver. I find myself reaching for it daily. If you are inclined pick one up, the performance may surprise you.

Those specs sound great! I was talking about a custom mini-cleaver with some of the guys earlier this week, and we were considering pretty much the same dimensions.

Great pic. Patina is hard to capture for me but you guys are killing it in this thread.

Two photos of my Yoshikazu Ikeda Gyuto 240.

That's gorgeous! The blue patina is a result of proteins from cutting meat? Does anything else produce a blue patina like this?

Lol, I work a lot so I don't see much sunlight. Most my picks are taken late at night after I get home...that and I don't have any interest in learning photography.

Great knife, I miss that one.

Half the fun of polishing a knife is putting a patina back on it!

Before...


After...

beautiful polish and that blue purple patina is pretty dang nice too. Warm roast or .....? What did you use for that patina?

Raquin, Kikuchiyo, Mazaki.

Wee bit of filter to highlight the cool blue and brown too.

You need to fix the tip on that Maz!
