New 🔪 review up!

Is This Korean Kitchen Knife The Equivalent of a Famous Japanese Brand? | Knife Review

Not every kitchen knife needs to be a laser and not every laser is built well. If you like/love/know of Shibata Takayuki's Koutetsu brand and can't get your ...

Yesterday, I had an incredible honour bestowed upon me. named his first honesuki after me, "Franki's Bonner"! Go check it out at .austria.

You all know how much I love my chicken bonners, I have many. So in the honour that was given to me, but also to spread the bonner love, I wanted to share the latest bonner that was added to my collection, making it a collection of now SEVEN bonners!!!

Pictured is a 26C3 honyaki honesuki by ! An incredible performer, at an incredible price, with great attention to detail to fit and finish. Check out the YouTube video if you haven't had a chance already! This is also the first duo-camera chicken butchery video I've made.

Maybe we need an International Franki Bonners Day? Too far? Nah, if IG is going to restrict my content, I might as well have a laugh at it all 😂

I think this will do just fine as an Easter weekend set of knives!
--
Thoughts? We have three epic knives, different styles, a strop to keep them sharp, a cutting board and a Shapton Glass 500, because my 1k was drying when I took this picture 😂

Happy Easter Weekend! 🐰🪺

ARTISAN APPRECATION APRIL
It’s a given that I love quality kitchen knives. And you can probably guess that I love food. Less obvious is the fact that I have a t-shirt collection of band tees from when I toured in a punk rock band for six years. I have no style, but I love my tees. As well, though I’m always giving love and shoutouts to the knife makers, what about the other peeps that make beautiful art functional and aesthetic that adorn the Kitchen Knife Studio? This reel is for them!

On IG

Honesuki painting
Japanese crane print
Japanese calligraphy drawing

Now your turn, share during the month of April artisans whom you appreciate. Doesn’t have to be a knife. Could be awesome carving fork for instance. for sake. Anything that makes you happy made by an artisan. Sharing is caring!

Have you heard of ARM?
I believe it stands for All Rectangle March.

I saw two posts about it by and . I don't have many rectangles, but I figured I'd take a shot.

Now I realize I am a month late but thought I'd share anyways. In that vein, I want to start a fun something of my own. Whether it sticks or not is up to you 🎉

ARTISAN APPRECIATION APRIL
I'll share a reel about this in a few days. We care deeply about our beloved kitchen knife artisans. But, there's also artisans linked to kitchen knives we don't always show appreciation for. With META banning kitchen knife content, sharing people's work is the best way to raise awareness. So take this time during the rest of April to share artisans work on your stories. It costs zero dollars and can create actual dollars for these artisans.

Artisan Appreciation April starts NOW 💯

Also I realize the second picture is chaotic, but it's regulated chaos and I kind of like it so I had to include it. Also yes the isn't an inside the box rectangle, but I still wanted to include it given it is a nakiri. Jesse had a super cool design for this Bastogne gyuto. And the .m.coutelier is getting a new handle, hence why it is naked.

Kitchen Knives and Paintings: Paint Me Like One of Your Cold Steeled Kitchen Knives

Here is my humble collection.

The first, literally my prized possession of all knives I own. A Fujiyama 240mm B1 kiritsuke: x x

The second, a Fujiyama FM 210mm B1 gyuto:

Lastly my most recent acquisition from a March 2024 trip in Japan where I got to meet and his fabulous team. A 150mm SKD petty with one of the most incredible Shou Sugi Ban d-shaped handles I’ve ever seen.

I’m so sorry…
I know a lot of you have been trying to convince me over the years to become the heir for my collection of all things 🔪

But, I decided to make my own! To the world his name was chosen a few days ago, but for IG, you may refer to him as Kitchen Knife Baby (KKB)

This is the news I was talking about months ago when I decided I was going to take on fewer western knife reviews this year. Going to step away from this platform for a bit to concentrate on what life will look like now. Can I still sneak into to the basement at 11pm to do a 🔪 unboxing? Will Keno show me some sympathy when he decides he has to 💩 but so does KKB?

Time will tell. Besides, since adding the blue checkmark on my account to try and solve the 🔪 content restricting issue I’ve gotten nowhere but still want to give you a juicy update when I’m back. So this little pause and a pic of a babies hand maybe will reset my account 😂

In the meantime I’m wasting no time in showing KKB my collection and figuring out his favorite steels and 🔪 shape. After all, no way he’ll be using anything less than awesome when it’ll be time to teach him how to cook. That’s how I roll and he will too. I’m sure he’ll have exquisite taste. Just not hopefully the feather Damascus Gold Vein museum fit mammoth molar and meteorite kitchen 🔪 kind of taste because Pappa can’t afford that 😂

Stay breezy, beautiful and be kind to each other. Toodles for now!
