following on from mikes knife handle thread i thought id start a show us your knives thread

 

On my last trip back to new zealand i picked up a new hunting knife made by a guy from dunedin. its got a pressure treated sweet chestnut handle that requires no oiling. its small enough for the small game i hunt in the uk, but also used it to butcher a deer and pig in new zealand

I had this made for my wife on our 10th anniversary. It's a Japanese Santoku chef's knife made by Yoshikane and the blade is in stainless damascus steel (makume).

Well, it was our anniversary last year, and I still haven't had any bits sliced off, so all's well so far:biggrin:

 

I think the quality of workmanship of the Japanese master smiths is second to none. It's a whole culture of doing things absolutely the best way possible for quality, rather than handle-turning mass production, and it shows.
