desperately looking for a replacement for my stolen knife 😭

[rhjchoi]

Hello from DC!

I am so devastated because my favorite knife was stolen from me at the end of an event. It was a present from my now husband and the best knife Ive ever used. Does anyone have any tips on trying to track down this knife?

It is the Yu Kurosaki Aogami Super Hmered Kurouchi WA RA8B 210mm

Welcome to the forums.

I'm sorry to hear about your knife being stolen. Did it happen in DC?

It did - at a very famous and reputable bar that we did a popup at nonetheless

I hope you can retrieve it.

If not, KKF will happily give advice on a replacement.

Welcome and that sucks!

Does this help?

Also keep in mind that Yu Kurosaki is a prolific maker so while you may not find that exact finish (he changes up) you can definitely find 210 gyutos from him. Inventories are down everywhere after the holidays but they'll restock soon enough.
