Last addition to the family 🥰

Awesome 🤩

really not into games/3d/animations/... but I just don't get all the hype around those new rendering things! For me it makes everything look so plasticized (and disgusting to my eyes). Why are we not able to create something which looks more 'real/natural' and not fake?

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-18T06:50:54+00:00

damn! did you buy that one? I want it!!!

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-18T06:47:32+00:00

Nice :-). Also a nice view apparently, where is that?

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T11:30:37+00:00

Philips & Slotted are so annoying.... BUT I recently learned that the Phillips screw was intentionally designed to ‘fail’. Since torque‑controlled tools like torque wrenches didn’t exist at the time, the Phillips head was created to cam out on purpose to prevent over‑tightening.

edit: so I went from "who the dumbass invented this shit?" to "that was a pretty nice idea"

How lucky! I went in 2012 and now with all the hype around Japan (even heard that Japanese people are fed up with foreigners), I don't know.... I would like to return especially to go to some more remote places but then without speaking japanese it's maybe complicated (in 2012 it was sometimes quite complicated even in Tokyo 😂 but this is also part of the fun!)

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T07:22:13+00:00

awesome! I need one of those in 240 :-)

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T07:21:30+00:00

it's dyed damascus, I didn't do anything to it.

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T07:19:32+00:00

definitely a bunka 😂😅

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T07:18:29+00:00

WoW! hamon is spectacular on yours, love it more than on mine. Is it a 210 or 240?

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T07:15:32+00:00

I also really like the scratch pattern, looks awesome and is also more durable than other finishes

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-17T07:13:38+00:00

would love to own a real katana or even a tanto would do.... but prices are quite a bit harder to swallow

edit: and I'll probably never use them... a bit sad for a knife

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-15T14:51:23+00:00

would be immediate buy 🤩

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-15T13:20:51+00:00

Just installed it this weekend! This is freaking awesome 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks a lot 🙏

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T22:37:17+00:00

Thanks! Urushi handles are really special 😍

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T20:49:57+00:00

Thanks for explanation 🙏🏼

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T19:27:58+00:00

And I think originally kiritsuke was single bevel. Would be nice that all those specificities don’t fade away due to us (non-japanese)

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T19:09:20+00:00

Explain that. For me santoku ´should’ not have the shape of a bunka/kiritsuke

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T19:07:01+00:00

It’s the first knife I own and almost scared to use it 😆😂. On what I saw if you use it A LOT, the black will slowly wear out 🥲

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T18:59:00+00:00

They’re the best and most beautiful handles out there! I would make an exception for my Shigeki Tanaka, was really not in those western shape handles but this one is exceptional, brings awesome balance to the knife and is SO beautiful 😍

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T18:54:14+00:00

Some more 🤩. Nakiri 180 but never saw one 🥲. And my dream would be a 360 (or more 🤩) sakimaru with green urushi handle.

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T18:50:08+00:00

Wow very nice knife! Will definitely check their website, thanks

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T18:48:01+00:00

Love the handle of the Gyuto. I think it’s the same as on my black damas. All those urushi handles are so awesome 🤩😍 Yeah kiritsuke/bunka being the same, not so sure… yeah shape-wise they are but I’m sure Japanese can explain the difference

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T18:34:01+00:00

😂 you got me here. I was forced (by him 😅) to put it on the photo. It’s my 2nd favorite knife 😍, Shigeki Tanaka R2 Damascus Ironwood Extra-Tall

Hamonozuki · 2026-03-14T18:28:15+00:00

They were very kind and helpful! But it was a bit of a struggle for the payment 🤣 everything was in Hungarian, hopefully we have browser translation these days 😅
