My tri-pawed with her new wheels.

BST is on FIRE this morning. That 9 profile in particular looks sweet.

That Kipp is so good! Tempting, but I already have its twin. Great opportunity for someone to try a Kipp!

My deepest condolences man. That is so freaking rough. Hope you guys find some peace and strength during this time! Oh & beautiful gyuto, GLWS

It was shipped via USPS to a UPS store to avoid porch pirates.

Well I guess I'm finally having my bad luck with USPS. I really should have driven the 2 hours rather than trust the mail, because now my Riverjump gyuto is MIA. It's showing up as delivered to the UPS store, but isn't anywhere to be found. I feel so crestfallen.

Nice looking blade! Tim's work is under-rated here I feel.

If your not ordering directly from them, I'd say that reputation is moot. CJA's work really is up there, even if their business accumen isn't. Lol

CJA/ Scorpion Forge makes some absolutely stellar knives. That is a great gift and should serve you well for many years.

Well dang! There she is! Glad that Rader went to someone here on kkf at least and I get to see pictures. Congratulations @Homechef

Figured we could use a little thread here to consolidate all of our b*tching about the one(s) that got away. Or at least give me space to cry. We all have had our hopes dashed as we compete for highly desirable knives. Whether it is due to a slow internet connection, missed opportunity on BST...

I think @MSicardCutlery hit the nail on the head. While there is no such thing as a knife with perfect food release and cutting ability, Kipp's hook-grind is d@mn hard to beat.

I said a bit of everything, but that's sorta a lie. I'm mostly into western makers, but I have more from Tsukasa Hinoura than any other smith. I prefer workhorses, but two of my favorites are lazers. Thought I preferred stainless, found out I was wrong, but have a few stainless pieces that I...

Hahaha this is ridiculous and awesome. I love it. Great solution @Sweet
