May well be; I thought I had checked that link earlier... The link that tg supplied does take you to the same knife I note in my post. I hopefully have not raised too many hopes. Sorry if so.

Dunno what all this talk over the past 6 days was about. I was able to purchase that 180 kitaeji nakiri on Sunday. Yesssss... dream knife.

Jesus, $640 for a 210. Is it just me or did it get a lot more expensive recently.

 

[brainsausage]

Well, considering that I paid less than 400 for a brand new 240 gyuto 4 years ago, I would say yes, yes there has been a ridiculous jump in price😁

 

[Chicagohawkie]

For perspective, less than 2 years ago I got a 210 Kasumi for 390 bucks. Not much you can do, one of the last remaining masters.

 

[Godslayer]

For retrospective you can easily buy a honyaki from a master for that price. I stick with shigs and katos your paying more for Provence then anything. I prefered my 240mm Tanaka b#2 to a 240mm kato workhorse. One was $150 the other $700. I honestly have never understood the two brands hype, I mean they are good knives but there's stuff out there that can perform as well or better for a fraction of the cost.

I was literally on my computer and had an alert set for the page. I had all my info prepared to paste into the form. No way it took me more than 30 seconds to complete the form, and it was gone. Seems the bots have taken over. I feel Captcha is in order...

Good point, but still... i was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time (which never happens), and it still wasn't enough. Pretty bonkers.

It's not bonkers at all. The people who buy these knives have accounts and can check out without having to put in any info at all, just click a few times. You are handicapping yourself if you don't make an account.
