I have sold 40 kg of musk ox horn and upper part of the forehead to a company in Denmark,https://raffir.com/, they stabilize it and as I remember it they sell all of stabilized forehead to a costumer in France. I have nothing to do with the company and I don't sell anything yo them anýmore since...

I use the Robert Herder with a 2" birds beak blade and I love it.. For 26$ I don't think you find anything else that handy, light and yes it looks cheap, but never mind that:thumbsup:

@ LifeByA1000Cuts , For me the Tojiro looks heavy in the hand and that's why I asked for alternatives..

@AFKitchenknivesguy, I also use the cheap ones and yes they do the job, BUT they do stick out as the odd one when I open my knifebag..:scratchhead: So hope this thread will lead me to a more great looking knife and for now it's means a light wood handle and a blade that doesn't flex when used...

@ThEoRy, I like using the curved edge when peeling new potatoes, garlic, onions and vegetables, the blade length is handy working with vegetables in your hand.. So I'm not using it for it's intended use, today I have one of the cheap ones, it's light and it works, but I like to have one that...

@Homecook, thanks for the advise.. But for some reason it looks like the blade shape isn't used in the japanese kitchen, but what do they use instead..? If the blade shape isn't used in Japan, would it be waste of time and money to try getting one costume made in white#1..?

I would like to replace my Bird's beak knife, 80mm, with one with a Japanese styled handle, but searching I only get Shun or Tojiro..:( Any one got an idea about where/who to look for..?

Yes, I got one in the PayPal mail, received the mail next day.. Hopefully I will get the parcel next week, I living in Greenland so shipping takes a bit longer. 😕

I just send an email to them asking for a price quote including shipping, shipping due to I living in Greenland. Less than 10 hrs later I got the replay including a PayPal invoice. Great service.. ☺

Thanks for the input about August discount, now I got a breadknife, http://www.knives-from-germany.com/en/Guede-Bread-Knives/The-Guede-Alpha-Olive-Franz-Guede-Bread-Knife-7431-32.html going to Greenland. Total price 114 EUR, nice price for a nice knife..:biggrin:

A friend got this knife from his mother after she came back from a vacation in Japan 8 years ago, non of them remembers anything about the knife.. Can anyone tell me anything about it from below photos..? https://www.dropbox.com/s/51uwwl0zl0k9dop/IMG_20160611_141859.jpg?dl=0...

@Stimpy, What kind of trouts are you talking about since you need a Deba for filleting..? I'm asking due to curiosity since I do some trouts fishing in the mountains, hiking and flyfishing, here in Greenland and I have newer cached a trout (char) that big that I had to use a heavy knife like...

@Richard, I don't mind they are mid weighted since it's her first upgrade and they will give her a god feeling with a bit of weight in the hand.. Nice to get a comment from one having used /handled the knife, I did see the movies and got a good impression.. So I will order the knife set with a...

Yes, it's the hammered version and I found a set (two) for 211$ at http://www.chuboknives.com/products/sakai-takayuki-33-layer-damascus-two-piece-set#.ViuR_2uImVA The Tanaka is a great idea, they are within my budget for her knife/knifes and have a VG10 core which from my experience is a great...

I'm looking for a Gyutou or santoku in 180mm for my daughter, she's 21, and she thinks 165mm is a big knife..:lol2: I came by Sakai Takayuki 33 layer and it has the right materiel and since it's her's first not standard knife I will like to keep it below 175 $, so the price tag was also correct...
