So many people chasing the same knives, makes it hard to find or buy what one really wants... I'm feeling fortunate that I "think" I have all the knives I need, and I know all the ones I'm going to buy for 2016...

Nah, I don't think he quite imagines that people are peering at their screens, refreshing constantly, even if it nothing seems to be happening.
 
Just got a price quote on latest shipment of Katos, and looks like demand is really driving the prices up on these. I also rounded these to the nearest $10.

240 Kato Damascus - ~$1050
210 Kato Damascus - didn't ask

240 Standard Kato - $600
210 Standard Kato - $510

Yeah definitely think its very high. I was expecting $750-$900 for the 240 Damascus

PM me if you are interested in the vendor, don't want to put anyone on blast. As I doubt these will even hit their website, probably mostly pre-sold through email.
 
Also got multiple PMs already asking who the vendor is so people can buy them...guess the prices aren't tooo high?

CAD or USD?
 
Good for you YG420 - I woke up last night a little after mid-night local time and decided to check my computer and happened to see the Kata and Shig email - I was a few minutes too late!

I guess I live on the wrong side of the world for this release.
 
I live in LA but was at work on graveyards and saw the email so I got lucky. Last time I tried I got to add to cart but I was still too late. So you have to be extra fast lol!

Don't worry... doesn't help always to be in the right time zone when you can't sit 24/7 at your computer and press "refresh"... the mail came just after my breakfast break at the office... I have a Kato but the Shig Nakiri would have been nice... :nunchucks:
 
Doesn't anyone want the 210 kato that Tosho have this morning ?
 
There is a 150m petty as well but that looks to be about double what it would cost from another vendor. Am I missing something?
 
jacko9 said:
Yes but, did you see the price on those? Is that price comparable with JNS.

Tosho is USD $ 563 vs JNS USD $376 for the 210mm gyuto.

JNS new price for the 210mm is about $410-$430, but yeah $500+ is ridiculous imo.
 
probably the crap cdn dollar and massive duty on import are upping the price here. not surprised at all really
