As lot of it is contracted out so not so easy. FedEx ground is pretty much entirely contracted out. Little incentive to make good on mistakes after they happen but preventing them should be a no brainer. Do you have an open incident ticket? If not I wouldn't expect them to be proactive. As...

The only mailing lists I'm on right now are Once & Future (Ravenswood founder Joe Peterson) and Bedrock (Joel's son Morgan). Currently working my way through some of the vintage Ravenswood that was offered up recently to Once & Future mailing list. These wines definitely hold up for 30+ years.

Have been buying from the Rice Factory for a couple years now: the rice factory NEW YORK and I have developed a far better appreciation of rice and the different varieties than I had before. They get shipments in about every month or so. They also have a good selection of reasonably priced...

Hmm, do you believe these couple of shops are controlling the flow of high end knives into the market?

I picked up a Damascus petty from Tsubaya in Tokyo three years ago. Had no idea what it was at the time. Staff there asked: "don't you want a knife with a nicer handle?" Didn't care so went ahead and bought it. Amazing slicer with great convexity. Such that I eventually found out togo had them...

It's a Veblen good.

Where?

I'm trying to keep a couple things in mind as I wait on mine: I didn't put any money down. These projects are just him practicing before making my knife ;)

Probably a Heiji direct 240 swedish Gyuto as my first serious Japanese Knife. F&F was just not there. It's also bigger than I really need (it's 240++ and thick). Has gotten no use in a couple years. Finally getting around to doing some work on it. It has potential but just not a great starter...

Wow, this sealed it for me. Looking at the pictures again it seems clear that it's glue. Looking at a different handle it's even more apparent with the white glue. https://www.toshoknifearts.com/en-us/products/p0100s So we aren't really talking about a gap as much as minor differences in...

"**** you money"

You probably could also just as easily sell it on BST at cost +shipping and fees and call it a wash. 🤷‍♂️

It does beg an interesting question, what are the cowju equivalent japanese knives out there today? Thinking workhouse convex, minus the fancy schmancy wrought iron.

Yeah, anyone who made those last minute orders in May got quite the deal.

Doesn't seem like it would be a KKF mass drop knife without a handle. Standard or two choices at most seems best. If people don't like it they don't have to sign up :p

They allegedly had to change the logo due to a copyright claim.

This article is for you: Community Input Is Bad, Actually I am not a lawyer, but seems like this kind of write in campaign has little chance or even no chance of changing the outcome. There needs to be some legal/procedural challenge to slow or change the outcome. Rather the effort should be...

Precisely, max budget is 3x the average price of your current knives. To up the average you have to sell your cheaper knives on BST while saying you are freeing up funds for a pending custom order from someone who has closed their books. Rinse and repeat.
