Custom Togashi

[RadioEdit]

In.

This one's worth the wait.

In. I've been on the hunt for a workhorse with a high level of fit and finish and nothing comes close to this minus the Kaiju (which to be frank is the unicorn of unicorns).

 

[FishmanDE]

One more? Or we there?

sounds like a good debate here

 

[Alder26]

in. 12 months is easier for me too

 

[heldentenor]

Our order is submitted! I want to reiterate how easy it's been to work this out with Strata Cutlery--Evan has been incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about this project. Thanks also to Nick (@FishmanDE ) for getting the ball rolling on this.

@FishmanDE @josemartinlopez @tcmx3 @RadioEdit @OkLobster @Alder26

Please pm me with your name and a good email address (that will still be active in 2022 ). I'll submit your names to Strata to hold your knife.

 

[josemartinlopez]

I've transacted with Evan before. Good guy.

 

[tostadas]

In. Sounds like quite a premium but not something the typical Japanese retailer will carry. Happy to support and I still have the good vibes from the last knife you sold me.

wait... you didnt say the thing

 

[josemartinlopez]

The man said wait till 2022.

 

[budgingllama]

Is there still slope to get in on this?

 

[heldentenor]

Possibly, either directly or by ordering from Strata once they arrive (Evan is ordering a couple for the shop). I'll contact him to ask!

Amazing, Thankyou

 

[Bico Doce]

I reached out to Evan and I was able to get on the Togashi custom train! Very happy to piggy back on the work that everyone else put in, big thanks to those who put this together!

 

[Homechef]

Admitted moocher of others hard work - I emailed Strata today and jumped on board as well. I blame/thank @Mikeadunne for this most recent expense. He sold me a sweet Togashi/Togashi in White#2 that I like more every time I use it. I keep buying knives to try to replace it and it fights them all back. A taller, heavier, blue steel version feels almost like a no brainer.

 

[FishmanDE]

Anyone have an update on this?

 

[Homechef]

No update, but really interested to see how this stacks up against the mass drop.

Also, did we just lose lobster?!

 

[mrmoves92]

If Lobster is out and I don’t get selected for the massdrop, I might be interested in this.

Should have ordered a B#1 or AS 240mmx56mm winter honyaki

In all seriousness, would you be in for one of these? Possibly with matching 150-180 utility/petty? Could get another thread going for high end honyaki interest. Not sure if it’s even possible but wouldn’t want to go down the road unless we had real interest in advance…

I just ordered a custom Togashi and Ikeda gyuto in B#1 240mmx56mmx4mm

[heldentenor]

@EricEricEric I can’t wait to see that.

I reached out to Evan a couple of weeks ago, and we are still awaiting word for when this will be delivered. I’ll keep everyone posted as more information arrives.

 

[superworrier]

Winter honyaki? Is that just a honyaki forged in the winter or something else?

Togashi and Ikeda? As in Togashi sharpened and Ikeda forged?

 

[EricEricEric]

Two different knives two different blacksmiths with the same specs
