Thanks! I like that little petty Del made. I also wish I could get more of the Hiromotos. Those were good western knives back in the day. I still have mine.

Re: Show us your knife collection.
This week on the magnetic board:
Yoshimi Hino White #2 Kiritsuke 235mm - quickly becoming my favorite knife.
Tsunehisa Z18 Enjyu Santoku 185mm - very light and thin, full SS no worries here.
Yamashin Blue #2 Bunka 180mm - one of my favorite prep knives, an absolute beast.
Kohetsu SLD Nakiri 165mm - the SLD steel is outstanding, this deserves a re-handle.
Shun Premiere 6" Gokujo Boning/Fillet Knife - my salmon skinning/portioning machine.
I found this site about 2 1/2 years ago, it has just elevated my passion for cooking!
This is just an awesome community of knife knowledge.

Re: Which Title Describes Your Knife Collection?
Sadly Master Nagao retired with no apprentice so no more Hiromotos except for the secondary market. The Tenmi Damascus was I think the last 240 Koki had on hand. That one is hands down my favorite Gyuto - You'd never know it has a VG-10 core the heat treat is that well done.ChefKnivesToGo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 6:07 pm Thanks!

I read that Barbara Billingsley wore that pearl necklace to hide a scar on her neck. Thanks for the picture Mr. Suburban.
You can blame Mr. Suburban for my being here.

Re: Show us your knife collection.
Gorgeous collection. I’m glad to see your using them all instead of hiding them in the drawer.

Re: Show us your knife collection.
absolutely, grew up using cleavers and super happy to have this line up now. The takeda came from you and its a beast in bulk dicing. Gotta give the Watanabe some patina again after polishing it up.ChefKnivesToGo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 9:08 am Gorgeous collection.

I'm Dave. I don't take myself too seriously and you probably shouldn't either.
