Here is my Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan.
150mm petty with a hagane if ZDP-189.
Impossible to sharpen but holds an edge for months. I use it daily. Some stone scuffs are visible.

More blade candy.
Top: Takagi blue #1 honyaki santoku (Japan Woodworker had a sale! Win) on which I have done a fuckton of blade thinning. Not my best work but the knife is wicked sharp and doesn’t wedge in food any more.
Middle: 330mm takobiki, eBay find, supposedly a blue #1 honyaki from Sakai Takayuki and I believe it.
Bottom: 270mm kasumi yanagi ( white #2 with reactive Damascus jigane) from YoshohiroYauji that I took up to 10000 grit a coupla weeks ago.
I love the feel of those salmon scalpels gliding through some fish, and the cut has that shiny “good sushi place” look.

Honestly appreciating your collection. Glad they are being used. Happy I get to show the wife I'm not the only fool with a penchant for quality craftsmanship.

Last fall I made a pair of blocks to hold my hoard. Beats using a drawer all hollow.

I simply love the feel of a Japanese blade. There is a glassy hardness to the steel that Western blades simply don’t get unless you drop four figures on, say, a Carter.
That said, the Western blades will take a lot of punishment that the hand-forged beauties won’t.
Ya don’t put a trailer hitch on a Lamborghini ...

My block consists of the "As seen on TV" Sportsman's dream knife set. A gift from something I never should have dated. Insanely durable self sharpening Chiwanese things from 95'. Best ever home set. My good stuff is either lying between the block and wall. Or in storage. I'll get some pics another time.

When I was working on the Toy's rear brakes there were threaded holes in the drum that I could run a bolt through to help push it off the shoes it was stuck to. It's from a Toy pickup not the FJ 40. I found out yesterday that the front FJ drums do not have those threaded holes, damn.

That makes no sense to me, I have a friend that sued the city of Beverly Hills because she tripped over a broken sidewalk and injured herself.
