Show us your knife collection.

It been awhile since I post here but this is about 70% of my current collection, too lazy to post the rest.

Sweet collection! I can't figure out if I like all the custom handles or the blades more! Can you tell me about the knife on the left side of the 4 you have stacked vertically? Who makes it? Specs? How do you like it? I'm digging the profile and might have some research ahead of me

Robert Erickson made it for me, 230mm CTS XHP gyuto, handle materials Spalted Jatoba and Silky Oak. It's a work horse grind and I'm more of a 210mm laser kinda of guy. I bought it because I want to try out XHP, it's not bad but not my top 3. Markin Andrei 220 / 50mm laser S-grind gyuto in Elmax is one of my favorite and Yoshikane SKD 210mm gyuto.

I thought it would be appropriate to finish up where it started.
I recently sold most of my collection in perhaps a misguided attempt at finding some stable mental ground. Denial is a strange creature, especially when you know what you are in denial of doesn't exist.
I won't waste any more or your time or forum space after this but if anyone could appraise my collection or even come up with a loose estimate, I would be very thankful. Here's a picture of them and message me for the makers/steels etc.
I apologize if this post is in the wrong place and thanks in advance for the help.

Hope this is allowed.. would like to post 1 or 2 knives at a time, to reach my 30 posts. First up, Kagekiyo B1 gyuto 240 and suji 270.

[stevem627]

Kaic137, welcome and please keep posting your knives. A Kagekiyo wide bevel knife is on the short list for my want list. Fabulous knives!

All of my knives with a Kurouchi finish.

I think the photo is sideways. Can't find edit option to rotate?

Up, down, sideway, that is one bloody gorgeous blade.

And I love the random mag rack of blades on the other side of the room.

I noticed the same thing.
You know your collection is awesome when you start displaying them in the living room.

Come on Brent. Show the guys your collection.

Agreed and at least the image is displaying correctly in the thumbnail . . . unless the ceiling fan isn't, um, on the ceiling!

From Sugi...

"The core of the Yuzan series is comprised of shirogami #2 and aogami #2 high carbon steels in a twist pattern damascus. The cladding is made from SK3, Soft Iron, and a multiple combination of other steels twisted. "

Thank you Kalaeb. Displaying them in the main room is half the reason for collecting knives. As you know, knives are art form and can replace space on the wall as such when blended with other art forms.

[knollbrent@me.com]

I'll update the artists names soon. A couple more walls in the living/dining room.

Nice lava light and black light Mona Lisa.
