funny story but true, there are quite a few times that I quoted prices for visiting customers on top of my head, like "this knife is really good ,and very good price, a couple hundred dollars, blah blah blah", and only realising the current price is like 1.5x to 2x the price I quoted. Some...

Sukenari use to have a water quenched AS damascus line. At their factory Hanaki san showed me the HRC test result for their AS line and the HRC was even higher. The argument from Hanaki-san is that, as a blacksmith it is always his job to HT the steel to its maximum potential. However, by doing...

FWIW, Cerax 5050 and the Rika are the same thing as well

Yes, he is just taking over and basically rebranding

it was up from day one along with the shiraki gyutos, then they were offline for a few hours, could be the "Active Time" was wrongly set. It was sold for about 1500US.

The hinoura 10% seems to have issue stacking with BFCM2020 coupon, I have just made all hinouras 20% off.

Sorry for the rather late notice. Knives and Stones is having a BFCM2020 SALE on both the US and AU sites. For the US site, we have a storewide 10% sale, which is the only sale a year and it is a non-selective, no gimmick SALE. The coupon code is: BFCM2020 On top of that, we have the Masamoto...

the effort to get this small burl into a workable state is probably too much and the figure is less than ideal. Maybe consider just buying a stabilized one? ;)

as billy said, it really depends on the actual species of rosewood (thousands of them) that you are dealing with. If we are just talking about generic rosewood that we see in say Echizen handles (which ironically is not true rosewood, otherwise it will be banned from intl. trade) then they are...

Simple answer: just go for the cheap one. There is difference between the melting temperature, setting time, however I found the ones designed for household glue gun just work fine.

Just to let you guys know that I have composed a playlist on the topic of rehandling on my youtube channel which I recently started to put more effort into. There is a ton of misinformation out there about how to install handles, particularly using the burn-in method on hardwood handles. I also...

Knives and Stones Australia has been using the domain www.knivesandstones.com from the beginning, as it was easier to remember (IMHO). In late 2019, we have started our US operations with the domain name www.knivesandstones.us, yet it is not the ideal name because virtually no US business uses...

sorry guys, my bad on the pics. I usually take a lot of photos together, and the itou was taken right after the mazaki, hence the mess up (on the argubly the more important one).
