Re: Show us your knives!
Plan to get a longer 270mm slicer when I visit Japan in the spring—would have loved to meet Anryu-San but I hear he has mostly retired. Probably add a deba at some point too but the rack is pretty full. That’s pretty much my wish list.

Ray! Good to see that Kono collection is as healthy as ever! If you're still hunting that unicorn, keep an eye on the classifieds in the new yearmauichef wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2019 4:24 pm
Mahalo guys!
Hi Arthur. Thank you so much.
Yes it has been a lot of fun...hunting.....digging under rocks.....listening for whispers...and then scoring
And you are correct...the journey is far from over!
My biggest unicorn is a Fujiyama Honyaki by Ashi. But there are several others too

Re: Show us your knives!
I'm a home cook who accumulated enough knives lately that it's fair to say I have a collection. I thought I would share it here and update now and then as it evolves. A few years ago, I bought a Masamoto VG as my first Japanese knife, which I found impressive at the time and still use for rougher tasks. Eventually, I learned of even better knives, so i bought a Kurosaki AS and Masakage Koishi, which were far more impressive for both their performance and craftsmanship. Since then, I have been fascinated by trying different styles and makers, especially those with long traditions or interesting stories, but only recently did I really go all in on exploring. Now, I have a small collection, which I hope to expand and then focus over time.
From left to right:
Kurosaki R2 Hammered 150 mm petty
Ishikawa W#2 165 mm nakiri
Yoshimune W#1 165 mm nakiri
Kurosaki AS 210 mm gyuto
Konosuke Fujiyama FM B#1 240 mm gyuto
Munetoshi W#2 240 mm gyuto
Masakage Koishi AS 240 mm gyuto
Konosuke HD2 240 mm gyuto
Toyama Noborikoi B#2 240 mm gyuto
Takeda NAS Medium gyuto
CCK 1303 cleaver
Moritaka AS 130 mm petty
Not shown: Masamoto VG 210 mm gyuto, Dexter 7" heavy-duty cleaver, and Victorinox bread, slicing, and paring knives
I also have a Teruyasu Fujiwara Maboroshi 180 mm gyuto on the way.
