Totally get that but would refrain from calling something a flip, or flipping when it's not. If I buy something from Australia, shipping will be like $75 depending on exchange rate. Then depending on Customs it will be 30% more(tax and custom duties). In Germany it is (value of product +...

I agree with most of what you said but it's still not a flip. If you have 1400 in it and selling it for 1400 it's not a flip. First person bought it for 1000 and sold it for 1400, so making 400 profit isn't also necessarily a flipper. He might just have gotten lucky when deciding to sell it...

But that's not a flip. Flipping means you are buying it with the intention to sell it later on and make a profit. So with knives you usually don't use them so their worth doesn't decrease

Some high praises https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/nihei-experience.71385/

Tritz is friends with Achim Wirtz, does solid knives and works with that steel. I got one and like the steel quite some

Knife Solingen will be fun for sure. Trying to also visit but quite some way, from Bavaria. Not too many interesting kitchen knife makers there but still some. Hardent, Shir, Tritz, Batbatforge, OldOwl... I think these are all solid choices. Have one from Antoine, was curious about the Mk1...

I don't think it's not warranted to ask for more pics and infos but Why jump the gun so fast? Give the seller some time. It's not gonna instantly sell. As a potential buyer I would ask for additional info and pics too. All of this shows more of an illiteracy of BST to me

Seems like he is pissed he is getting ignored... He asked a question which didn't get answered in a few hours, so better cry wolf. When I'm at work I won't check Kkf for at least 9 hours and then might not be interested in the evening to do so. Of course I will do if I have a BST listing. Seller...

Curious what you are getting and where you are from, which federal state?

@FrankN welcome from another European member. Aren't enough around here. shameless plug-in but I got a Honyaki for sale in good condition Was one of my first Honyaki purchases because it's quite cheap for a Japanese Honyaki and also a good performer, so might be a good start for you too...

Crazy piece! Masterpiece indeed. Right now this would be at least 3500€ I think

If you have coin Sean has all the wares

Imo probably the worst Y Tanaka I had but their price was good. Definitely not even close to Best of Y Tanaka

Very few, some years ago

Yoshikazu Tanaka Vintage Swedish Carbon steel 228x50,6mm 184g 3,16mm out of the handle Nicely balanced with a burnt chestnut handle. Nice profile imo, cuts really well, interesting convex grind and nice to look at. One of the best Japanese knives I have tried. If the grind on the Rentetsu ones...
