I bought my Tinker not as a set.

Kujira He is mostly retired. Seems to make a half dozen or so blades a year for sale outside of Japan. Masakage Kujira Sujihiki 300mm Masakage Kujira Gyuto 250mm

Would it not mean more now that TF doesn't forge knives anymore? Or do they still put the toucou stamp on knives produced today? Just asking because I do not know.

I have a 300 Gyuto AS but I don't think it is old school AS as the bevels are not high. Very thin though. Never sharpened. It is too big for me to use but maybe that is why I like having it around as it is so big.

You would want one. I have a 200 and they are heavy but awesome.

Handle are as described in this review however are functional. The blade on the Denka and its performance makes me always enthusiastic to pick these knives. I don't ever notice the poor fit and finish on my Denkas when I use them. From a distance, I think they are beautiful, up close you see...

I have multiple Denkas. All terrible handles, great blades.

I am not sure if this is the place to ask this question but there seems to be some people with a good knowledge of the work of TF. My question is, "did TF ever make a Denka with ironwood western handle?" In the past, would he have accepted a special order for handles? I bought a few Denka's...

Bought one in February. Very thin behind the edge but thick at the spine. Heavy and tall. Feel like a laserey axe. I don't really know what they are meant for but they do murder bell peppers.

Thank you for the advice.

I think you got it spot on when you referred to it as an "old world vibe". It feels like a knife made for people in his village insulated from the outside world. Perhaps that is way it was never really poplar. I feels like it was never made with those who collect knives but rather for a...

This thread is very informative. I thought I would piggyback on this tread to ask my question as it is on the same topic. I am thinking of thinning one of my favourite knifes that is a little fat behind the edge. I am concerned my inexperience would will make the blade asymmetrical by...

Did you ever find one? Why are they weird?

Sad that it ended with him.

I have both Denka and Takeda AS. Though I love my Takeda, they are no way comparable to a Denka. You are making the right choice to go with a Denka.

Ken Kageura (retired) knives. Some don't like them as they are a little fat but ascetically, one of the most beautiful knives I have used. Beauty is subjective but in my opinion they are more beautiful than a River Jump or dare I say, a Shig. The beauty is understated and humble.

I have a couple 180 and a 240 but I don't think I can part with them. As you probably know, he makes his own damascus out of recycled iron like parts from a WWII battleship. I have never seen a more beautiful patina. Under certain light and angle you cannot see any then with indirect natural...

Thanks Carlos.

Thank you. When they ask if the product was made in a NAFTA country, do I say no if I am buying it from a vendor in the United States?

What sort of duty would one pay when purchasing a knife from a vendor in Europe or the US? Also if one buys a knife from BTS outside of Canada, do they have to pay any duty when it crosses the boarder? Thanks in advance.
