That kanji pic is super cool!
Your are a mighty MIGHTY lucky man to have Mr. Broida down the road. Few of us are so lucky.

I just want to say that it does get annoying sometimes when a dude is selling cool stuff and tells you not to buy it because you won't like it or don't need it.![]()
True. At least for me it's no issue since I usually see kanji on its side: I put my knives down spine towards me, handle to the right![]()

Haha, please. People around here argue in microns. You're good, buddy!I hope this doesn't come off as pedantic
Agreed. I bought a (less fancy) knife from Jon, and a couple weeks later did the sharpening-lesson that Edgy Guy has upcoming... great experience. I'm not a good sharpener, still, but got a couple of functional edges that Jon assures me are better than most cooks ever see. Which means it was a very worthwhile afternoon.
The store is great, Jon is smart and helpful and first concerned with providing service and items that you need and preventing any buyer's remorse by steering you away from what you might otherwise spend money on for the "wrong" reasons.
Yeah, he dresses funny..... but he's good people!
We are fortunate around here to have nearly all of the best resources to feed this habit. Jon certainly contributes more than his fair share in all of this, from his willingness to share his vast knowledge, to he and Sarah's excellent commitment to customer service. They know how to make you feel good about a purchase, before, during, and after. You are lucky to have them so near to you.
