D. Martell Hiromoto AS Re-Handle Group Buy is ON!

[99Limited]

I bought the petty and the 240mm gyuto with etching. These are going to be my Christmas present to myself. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere I go." Went to Costco yesterday and they're already selling Christmas stuff. :excited:

Nah I'm from central Jersey only 40 mins from NYC. Though I did live in Florida for about 12-13 years.


OT:

[ThEoRy]

Darn, looks like I missed this... anyone who has had their circumstances change and is perhaps looking to opt out of their order please feel free to pm/email me.

A 210 is what I would be in the market for.

Dave, hope this is OK to post this here. :cool2:

Thanks!

For those who ordered knives in this group buy please shoot me your handle preferences.

 

[Dave Martell]

The first finished knife from this group buy is posted in my gallery....

I'll post all pictures there as the knives are finished.

I've got 2 thinned and one handle mounted but as soon as I can get people to pick handle materials I'll have many more in the works.

 

[Dave Martell]

Some of you guys are going to be pleasantly surprised by the cladding on these Hiros I received. The 240s & 210mm gyutos look especially cool, a lot (close enough) like the what we used to call "dripping cladding" because that's what it looks like it's doing.

 

[JohnnyChance]

I was going to say, some of them have the "rain drops" like the old Hiros. Not as frequent, but more so than batches from the past couple years.
