Midori Hamono

These knives are produced in Japan out VG10 stainless steel surrounded by a jacket of 15 layer stainless damascus cladding. The tsuchime (hammered) finish is hand applied when the blade is forged, then the bevels are thinly ground to expose the damascus layers and the core steel edge.

The laminated mahogany handles on these knives are nicely finished and have a warm feel to them, western style construction with triple riveting, and stainless bolster added for strength.

All knives come in a handsome cardboard gift box.

Available styles/sizes (ONLY 12 of each available!!!!!):

240mm (9 1/2") Gyuto (chef's knife) - Most common among advanced knife users

210mm (8 1/4") Gyuto (chef's knife) - Most common size purchased

Great looking Knives Dave, Im sure these wont last the night,

Best of luck on this years knife buy, Looks to be a winner, not sure my Stew raise will be in on time lol

 

[DaveMartell]

I'm headed off to bed soon but I'll be back in the AM to check for any questions.

Thanks folks!

[craig87c]

These are absolutely gorgeous knives!

 

[Hunter]

Wow these look amazing!

 

[DaveMartell]

These are absolutely gorgeous knives!

They are pretty good looking. Getting a nice looking knife with good steel, good grind, easy on the eyes, nice handle, AND with a decent price point was a challenge but I believe that we got a winner here. I like them enough that I'm giving these as Christmas gifts this year. They're the perfect upgrade for almost anyone that can be convinced to hand wash their knife and use a wood cutting board.

Another fellow Knife Knut here - good to see some familiar faces. Thanks for doing this Dave.

Those are a spectacular deal! We bought a set of Kanetsune and Tojiro Culinary blades in Tokyo a few years ago and spent about $600 more for virtually the same set - these are much better in the handle though over the traditional round Japanese handles, IMO! My wife is classically trained and used her set to compete in several culinary contests before we got married. A good knife in the kitchen makes food prep so much easier! Damascus holds its edge like nothing else, and is tough...I have seen her tear through an entire beef shank even breaking the distal femur for marrow with just her Chef Knife - Forgive me for not knowing what it's called...haha.

 

[DaveMartell]

I forgot to mention this before....

If you want to do some comparison shopping (and who doesn't?) or maybe look for some reviews (always a good idea) search for "Kikuichi Warikomi Damascus Tsuchime Knives" as these are basically the same as the knives being sold here except the group buy knives have an upgraded handle.

 

[Haggises]

and they're sharpened by you which the Kikuichi aren't... ::

Sorry Johnny, I was nearly smitten, but in the end fell for petty reasons.

 

[syngent]

I wish these would hurry up and be sold out so I can tell myself "Dang, I was just about to....", Already

 

[craig87c]

C'mon James, don't let something as petty as "restraint" get in the way of a new knife!

 

[syngent]

C'mon James, don't let something as petty as "restraint" get in the way of a new knife!
