Ryuichi Kawamura Knives

[CUTS LIKE A KRIS]

I love the blade combination, not a redundancy anywhere, great size differences, overall a very beautiful specimen of cutlery.

 

[Blues]

Thanks, fellas. It's obvious that you gentlemen possess exquisite taste.

 

[supratentorial]

That's a beauty, Elliot. Congrats!

 

[SharpNJ]

Glad the rain held off - it would have been a shame to miss the pics of that beauty.

 

[PG5768]

Wow. The stag is beautiful. Great looking knife Blues.

 

[ken erickson]

Nicely done Ryuichi! Congratulations Elliott on adding a fine knife to the stable.

 

[Pueo154]

Congrats Elliott! That's a gorgeous knife - first rate work and materials all around; I particularly love that popcorn stag! Thanks so much for sharing that with us!

 

[JAlexander]

I think you're the one with exquisite taste, Elliot. I know mine has evolved from seeing the knives you and others have posted here.

 

[waynorth]

Nice knife, Elliott! Interesting interpretation of that good old traditional.
Kudos to Ryu, and nicely chosen by you!

 

[Bastid]

Wow, just incredible.

 

[Blues]

I appreciate all the good words...I've sent Ryu a link to the thread but I'm not sure whether he'll feel comfortable enough to reply here. On his behalf please permit me to say thank you.

And the whittler is a jewel, beautiful.

Mike, Thanks! I was lucky to find this one. It's one of my favorite patterns from Ryu. It's a split back with 2 springs.

 

[ken erickson]

Nice find Jake!

Hope to see more pictures when it arrives.

 

[supratentorial]

Thanks, Ken! I'm hoping to make it to Blade this year. It's looking like a 40% chance. I'm going to make a bee line for your table.

 

[Blues]

Nice whittlers! I saw some of those pieces on the original vendor site before a few of them moved on to the second vendor site at a marked increase in price. Glad you got a hold of the one you wanted, Jake.
