Thats awesome. You're a self-enabler, and I had nothing to do with it.

This is interesting. I recall reading something about zdp189 being a new super steel. http://www.**************.com/ko24gyzd.html Would you buy this for 700? At this price, fit and finish becomes quite important for me and from the picture on CKTG, I can't say I'm very overly...

As an aside, the actual knife has a really attractive profile and it looks quite well finished from the picture.

Damn tristan, that's a tragic story.

This thread is a fascinating read. I recently bought an it knife - a Konosuke HD. We shall see if it falls out of favor in a few years. Before this I bought a commonly recommended 'budget' knife, a fujiwara carbon,which i still think is an excellent deal. The only issue, which isn't that big...

Thanks for the review. That is one highly patinated cladding, which i think looks pretty good. Im surprised that these aren't more popular because they seem like a decent deal at less than 250. If only koki got them made a little thinner.

I have a mac, and a pc. Variety is the spice of life.

Alright, I'm pulling the trigger. Pics to follow in a weeks time.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Sakai Yusuke 240mm white #2 gyuto and a JCK KAGAYAKI Aogami Super Custom Damascus Wa petty. Any last minute advice/suggestions so I don't end up with buyers remorse? I'm looking for a laser and apparently the sakai yusuke is quite a good deal. And I want...

Finally, a thread where I can contribute. Here are some pictures I just took of my Fujiwara 210 gyuto. The key is having good lighting. I'm using a nikon sb28 flash, with a westcott shoot through umbrella. The big surface of the umbrella gives nice soft light, which makes the knife...
