That is so good to hear! Thank you for joining the conversation.

I’m so glad i’m not the only addicted one 😅

Knife envy is a genuine issue. Addictions can hit you, even as an old fossil. My passion are Nakiri, conspicuous in their absence here.

It's the fun kind of addiction. 😅 Ries sure scored a few nice Keijiro Doi Usuba's.

Oh, what a nice collection! Thanks for showing this to us all and sharing the work of the great masters of their trade!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

I read in your bio you're a private chef, I'm retired know, but use to work in the family restaurant on Sardegna Italy but also worked as a private chef on yachts of some very wealthy people. I once had a customer on a yacht in Porto Cervo, this guy had a collection you wouldn't believe, he had two temperature and humidity controlled rooms aboard the yacht, one for his cigars and one, because of the salty sea air, for his Japanese knives. He also had quite a few Doi family knives, among others, but also some custom made Tamahagane knives from Yasha Yukawa, absolutely stunning. Have you ever come across a real Tamahagane steel knive? They must be the rarest of the rarest.

That sounds awesome. Yeah, I sometimes cook at some wealthy peoples homes, but never came across someone with a Japanese knife collection like that. I did came across a few Tamahagane knives and some Katana's. Very rare indeed. Beautiful. Highest level of craftmansship and dedication. At Meesterslijpers we have a Takaba Hiromune knife which says it is made from Tamahagane, but most likely is made of Watetsu. I do own a Kyoshi Kato knife myself (not made of Tamahagane). He's a licensed sword smith. And his knives are straight up unicorns, really hard to come by.

Sick i have had my K Doi Kirit now for 15 years or so. Centrepiece

It sure is. I'm actually a bit sad that he stopped hunting/collecting them. Imagine how many Doi knives he would have in 10 years.

Erg mooie collectie

Thanks for letting us know.

Wow ! Very impressive collection ! I have a Sakai Takayuki Aogami 2 ebony handle Yanagiba I am fairly sure it was forged by Keijiro Doi, but if it actually is it was from his latest blades. I Bought it in 2014, about a year after Keijiro Doi retired. A time when Keijiro Doi's knife were still available in a variety of retailers. Bought it from a Japanese reseller who happened to promptly update its pages when he transitioned to Itsuo Doi stock. So I am fairly confident mine is a Keijiro But with this series of knife it is (to my knowledge) impossible to be absolutely sure ... If you happen to know how to identify with certainty my yanagiba origin, I'am interested !
