That's a sweet ass Ali Baba handle.
Seems like they are selling legit but weird knives… They actually have one made from Devin Thomas Damascus, also rebladed SAK with sypderco blade. some collector stuffs probably… Also $60 Opinel lol

Yeah I'm curious to know more about that damascus knife actually
Lots of people makes Reptilian damascus so no idea who, or you are talking about this one? Honestly the whole site is bit sketchy...

Never seen such an eclectic mix of sharp stuff. Some of the attributions shall we say are.... suspect.
Did ya get your tall nakiri?
Not yet.
It sold out pretty quickly
It’s ok. It’s in our package locker. Was raining yesterday so I will get it today.
Shig and Kato drop at JNS including a western handle
Anyone see what the 240 Kato KU sold for? Getting a little fed up with the disappearing price act honestly.
13,000 dkk (without VAT) - about $1,900
The internet archive’s wayback machine is sometimes helpful to get historic pricing data as well. JNS pages may change too quickly to get captured there though. I haven’t tried it myself.

At most the wayback machine captures daily. Will never capture when the page change as fast as this.

Kato western handle itself looks fabulous. I’m sure the knife is outta my price range but any idea who did the handle?

Looks a little DIY-y to me. That blade deserves better IMHO. Could have been Maxsim himself. Highly doubtful thats Katos handiwork.

How rude!
Four Katos and a stainless clad Kamon... Surprised this passed without comment!
It's interesting that the seller chose to go with eBay. Taking into account eBay fees/sales tax, the seller could almost certainly have made a lot more and the buyers maybe paid a bit less if they'd been sold here. (And based on the provenance of that particular Kamon), it's fair to assume the seller's a member here.)
Kato made that handle.
