You have a knife for every day of the month, plus some. I think it's time to sell Seriously though, what are you missing from the Kono collection? Looks like you got em all, say perhaps the Kono 210 bunka

Hahahaha....I will sell some stuff soon...but no Konos for sure
Missing? Fujiyama Honyaki by Ashi.
And yes....definitely would love a Fujiyama bunka in Blue or white. I saw one with a KU finish that would be a nice addition. I like using Bunkas.

Many thanks mate.
Trust me, I do...every one of them.
They are my most prized knives.
Enjoy yours!

I said that about 15 knives ago but I seem to be moving in the wrong direction....
Very nice collection, very impressive!
thanks! yes, i know i have said the same thing before and it didn't happen. i just have too many good knives not seeing use. and i need to re-orient a bit toward better detail knives, such as a couple of new petties and fewer 240 gyutos...

I don't know man, it looks pretty diverse. (Sans a cleaver) But petties are always fun to buy. More and more I am using a 180 petty over my 240's.

thanks. yeah it is pretty diverse overall. i have thought about a cleaver but i really never reach for the nakiris so i kind of think i don't need the cleaver but i should try one out. there are a few makers I would like to try: comet, dalman, shihan...otherwise pretty happy with where the collection is, here is a better organized pic.

Being empty nesters and cooking just for the wife now, I find myself using smaller knives most of the time now.
If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.
