Knife findings

Interesting that home butcher is carrying him now too. I’ll place a loose bet that his knives will be much more expensive in the future (Jiro v2?)

Not with those hideous handles

Not with those hideous handles

I meant more with the “lone maker” approach but see where you’re coming from on the handles

 

[jedy617]

he's had miyazaki for quite awhile, not sure about Jiro levels they seem to hang around for a bit

 

[blokey]

He’s more similar to Manaka to me

Yoshikane goes mainstream I suppose

Yoshikane goes mainstream I suppose

Meh...More expensive than KnS and with crappier handles. But hey, if Yoshikane gets to play in the same pool as Miyabi and Shun, maybe some people accidentally end up with some real knives instead of getting fooled by bling.

Any attempt to remove that and you destroy the Ku finish.

I'd feel fairly confident trying to use some tannic+phosphoric acid and boiling water to convert that back to a KU looking black, but since I already have one in that size without the rust I'm not inclined to take the chance.

Don’t know if this is the right thread but our knifemaker friends in the UK will have to look for alternative carriers for their knives because Royal Mail will no longer deliver them starting April 22. Might mean more expensive knives soon. Damn, I have 2 customs in the pipeline.

Thanks Erik, I am aware of that, luckily, I have in place an alternative carrier for domestic deliveries. I don't use Royal Mail for international shipping, so any deliveries outside UK won't be affected.

That little guy is kinda cute. I don’t need a little deba but if I did I would be tempted.

Probably coz of the 46mm blade height. Thats a Suji in my book or best case, a gyutohiki. I think it having 125sc and not the 145sc core steel could put some off, especially at that price.

$700+ for a 150 Ku Deba. Glad I'm not buying this stuff these days. Prices be crazy.....

I don’t really need a suji, but that looks very nice.

Anyone know the maker for this beaut?

It’s striking — looks a lot like the nine, maybe too much so. Not a great worker profile, at least to my eye.
