Show us your new knife!
Re: Show us your new knife!
This showed up Saturday - the price was right and I've always been curious. I don't like the profile of the Euroline, but this Meiji might be fun we'll see. The fit and finish are top shelf it's very impressive for a production knife.

Re: Show us your new knife!
It's a Kramer by Zwilling. It's a good cutting knife after a trip to the stones yesterday. I'm seriously considering taking a half inch off the length from the top. That would lower the tip more like a gyuto - we'll see I'll have to use it more. We have a party this weekend and I have to process lots of cabbage, onion and leeks.
The core is FC61 and feels like AEB-L - sounds like it too on the stones. Great heat treat so it ought to hold an edge well.

Re: Show us your new knife!
When you get some time with it you should let us know how you like it in another thread! These production knives don't get a lot of love on these types of forums but some are quite nice. I admittedly have a soft spot for Miyabi made knives.

Just bought an Anryu AS Santoku 170mm to replace an old 17cm Wusthof Santoku. Love it!

Re: Show us your new knife!
One of my newest purchases to replace the one I stupidly sold so long ago.
Masamoto KS (old grind).
Just arrived from chef pham today with a custom handle.
I wanted something to reflect the stock handle but also be a little bit flashy. Buffalo horn, nickel and burled maple.
I just used his photo because it was waaaay better than the ones I took...lol.
Re: Show us your new knife!
Ugh!
I need to post mine here too - though mine is already all patina'd up-n'-down.
Too good not to use! hahaha
Enjoy'em!

Re: Show us your new knife!
I’ve been using mine (240 & 270) and I’m loving the knives. Great looking knives Marc!
