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.

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!

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.

I read that Barbara Billingsley wore that pearl necklace to hide a scar on her neck. Thanks for the picture Mr. Suburban.

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.
