I’m just glad we were able to have a brief, measured and reasonable discussion about this for once. Last time it came up it degenerated into pages of name calling.
I'm pretty sure there aren't many responsible persons part of this thread. Just saying.I just want to say I'm clearly not responsible for where this thread went
Wait... isn't she the one flipping files and rasps?... I never expected to see a discussion about CM knives in a 'FLIPPER ALERT thread'.
Just to make my subtext clear: this was my example of how to make fun of a maker’s knives without creating at atmosphere that’s unwelcoming (unless you’re Chelsea Miller).Wait... isn't she the one flipping files and rasps?
That's what they said.Also see @M1k3, who is a master at this.
You never know unless you try arghhhhThat's what they said.
@CiderBearYou never know unless you try arghhhh
Interesting 'Kenichi' Shiraki honyaki on BST. At least seller isn't claiming it's an Ashi Honyaki.... but is it a Kenichi Shiraki blade? Shiraki Hamono would be more accurate.

Kanji looks a bit different tho, no?Oh snap. This looks very similar to the one in this thread.
Looks darn close to me. Maybe lighting is obscuring some of the chisel marks. Plus theres the arrangement of kanji, box, handle, saya, Kono-style machi gap etc etc. These were readily available in different sizes on the Japanese auction sites earlier this year.Kanji looks a bit different tho, no?
The bottom kanji character looks different to me. But then again, I can't read it... so what do I know. But I agree the overall package looks very similar.Looks darn close to me. Plus theres the arrangement of kanji, box, handle, saya, Kono-style machi gap etc etc.
Respect for calling yourself outTwas me. Sorry man.
Also don’t know what this has to do with being a flipper.
Lol I was going to leave his name out of it. Has nothing to do with being a flipper but it's annoying when you're trying to sell something. Now I have to re contact people who I told no to. This is after having them commit to the last knife (a kamon) and then not answer messages.Respect for calling yourself out
And respect to you for not naming him, I understand you wanted to vent a bit after 2 poor experiencesLol I was going to leave his name out of it.

I did not commit to the Kamon. I didn't even remember that because I have a pretty impeccable BST track record. So I went back and looked. I said if you decide to sell instead of trading than contact me first and then when you were willing to sell I wasn't interested,
Today I said I wanted to buy the set. Then I had some questions about it and there were a few hours in-between message replies. Ive had quite a crapy day at work and then decided it wasn't a wise decision to spend money in that way. For sure that wasn't great on my part but come on man. Sorry you have to circle back in messages to everyone else but I'm pretty sure that in our 4-5 message transaction that I didn't do anything to harm your sell.
Just as I said in the bst thread, this conversation doesn't need to continue. I didn't even out your name. I simply made a statement of how that happening is annoying and I'm sure lots of other posters have agreed. I get the industry is tough and I'm sure your night sucked. Go relax and realize this isn't some attack on you or your character. It's just something that's simply annoying. Have a good night.I did not commit to the Kamon.

I respectfully disagree. I think it is important to air the dirty laundry for the sake of full transparency and as a deterrent effect to discourage others from disreputable conduct.I think that admin should remove this tread and have a private chat with the OP [emoji52]
Not dummies, just poor (obviously not in the money sense) uniformed peopleGuessing he finds it funny that you’re not taking advantage of dummies.
