No one answered the "Is Wakui B#2 good/workhorse/whatever what?"
So after pouting for a while, decided to leave the routine story. The illness story.
Once upon a time, a KKF member promised himself not to buy iron clads anymore. He broke that promise since... twice.
Not so long after, the same KKF member decided he wanted a good, real good, petty. But it seems either ideal does not exist, or exists at prohibitive prices.
See this PERFECT example:
https://www.toshoknifearts.com/coll...eisakusho-sg2-migaki-petty-165mm-wenge-handle
That's a weapon of ignobly petty mass destruction. Ignoble because the price is just "Hell with it man I can buy a rather high end 240mm Gyuto for the money". But where money would be no object, that knife would be in that KKF member's arsenal. But he still ain't got a real good petty despite buying a few knives. He DID buy those iron clads he wasn't supposed to buy anymore, though.
If not that, that member wanted to invest on some stones. A replacement Cerax 320 and Ouka, SG4K, SP120 & 220, Morihei 6K, JNS 300 and 800, a coarse Nanohone, the "real" King 4K, King 8K Gold, possibly some cheap coarse green SiC stone to see how it compares with Sigma... or if that, an expensive Debado for the same reasons. And he did buy the Pink Brick out of a deal, but none the others yet.
And tonight, he decided to grab a third iron clad with Ai & Om Wakui B#2. Just because NO ONE ANSWERED HERE.
And while there, he did decide to grab the Nanohone 200. One never has too much coarse stones. Unless you have more coarse stones than knives. This narrator here thinks it's good long term policy to own one coarse stone for every knife in someone's collection. It makes up for all the ****** knives f&f will bring you, gives you experience with different stuff, and vanishes pretty fast anyhow. So for sure, narrator agrees with here concerned KKF member, even if that Nanohone is most probably too expensive for what it is.
Stupid, stupid KKF member, but narrator gets the gist and doesn't judge.
And in guise of morale, narrator here asks what the **** is wrong with that guy?
Narrator wants to accuse any other KKF member that did not answered the question of having pushed our (z)(h)ero KKF member into indiscriminating purchases. But in the end, he knows the guy is a lost cause anyhow.
Narrator is a cunning arse. He sure does want to see that poor guy's usual review about knives he unwittingly buys out of kicks... breaking his promise for a third time!
Plus a replacement folder for the one he lost. Which was probably the only one out of three items he
really needed.
"Ahem... good effort...?"
