Yesterday I received not one, but two new knives on the same day! First arrived the 240mm "Tanjiro Nichirin" gyuto from Zao Viet Knives (u/youmakemeput123), and later the 175mm nakiri from Kennard Cutlery (u/Ok_Climate2648), which I won through an Instagram giveaway!

Zao "Tanjiro Nichirin" 240mm gyuto

I ordered this through Zao in early February, after seeing the same model posted here on r/TrueChefKnives. It is forged by the female smith Nguyền Thi Luyến. The core is 32 layers of 52100 and 1090 steel, then there is the copper layer, and on the outside there are 64 layers of stainless 304 and 301 on both sides! The handle is ebony and inox. I know this kind of damscus is not everyone's cup of tea, but I find the knife really stunning! It is actually my first 240mm gyuto too.

Kennard Cutlery 175mm nakiri

On the occasion of the opening of Kennard Cutlery's new online shop, the nakiri was given away through Instagram and I was the lucky bastard getting it! It is my first Nakiri and also the first knife I own with such a crazy concave grind! I am really looking forward to see its performance. The blade is forged out of 52100 steel and the handle is made out of spalted silver birch, ebony and brass.

I was to impatient to post and did not use the knives yet, so this is it for now! Cheers

Hallo zusammen, als relativer Anfänger habe ich aus einem 8mm dicken Holzplättchen ein paar Stücke rausgesägt, um einen einfachen Messerständer zu machen - siehe Fotos. Die Stücke müssen noch sauber geschiffen werden, aber ich frage mich, was danach der richtige Weg wäre, diese aneinanderzukleben. Reicht Holzleim? Oder sollte man zusätzlich auch noch mit Nägeln oder Schrauebn (könnte in 8mm schwierig sein?) arbeiten? Danke im Voraus!
