Actually just PMed Jon.

I have decided that I would like to go the route of getting a 300mm Konosuke Sujihiki. But everywhere I look there is only the 300mm in HD which is a semi stainless. Do they make it in a carbon steel? Or is it recommended to get the HD and be happy as a clam.

Shame i missed this

Congrats and good luck. No rush on my boards either.

For some odd reason I am considering getting custom handles on new knives that I am going to be ordering. I am a huge fan of Zebrano wood, anyone seen examples of it on Wa handles? Ed

At 400 bucks there are a lot of knives i would rather get.

With a situation like this there is no good outcome. You will lose money and they will lose money. If you do something to purposely harm them then they can go after you and drag you into a sh1t tone of court time and attorney fees. Even if they dont win, the cost that you would incur is quite...

I called Dave at Boardsmith last week and put an order in for two boards. I am sure if there is something in particular that you want he can make it. I dont know Ladd. But i chose Dave over Boos because i could pick up the phone discuss and get an answer. Plus custom is not a bad thing :)

I have no apprehension to getting carbon steel version. I will probably get stainless knives eventually so that my girlfriend doesnt use my nice knives.

Ground rules? I would just never do it again.

I have the "wall" space for the 300. I put my knives on the wall on a magnetic strip. The 240mm Gyuto feels great in my hand. I would be using that as my all-around knife. So the suji would be for slicing tasks. I originally thought about getting the 270mm, but i dont plan on getting more then...

So I definitely was bitten hard by the J Knife bug. My Moritaka SS 240mm Gyuto just came in and I am looking for my next knife. I am thinking about getting a Suji. More then likely going to get a Konosuke HD Suji, but the question is whether I should get a 270mm or 300mm version. For the...

Welcome from a fellow bostonian.

Hello All, Just wanted to say hello. I stumbled onto the forum after researching Dave's (BoardSMITH) butcher blocks. Gave him a call and he recommended registering. My name is Ed Spivak and I am a branding consultant out of Boston, MA and have a very obsessive personality. I have been bitten...
