[wenus2]

[JBroida]

[oivind_dahle]

Nice to see Heiji getting back in biz

 

[JBroida]

[Customfan]

:wink:Are those Heiji? or is it part of the surprise!

You already answered that one!

Hope he's got some semi-stainless wa-gyutos in the making...

 

[JBroida]

How are you guys more excited about heiji than the badass honyaki wa gyutos here?

 

[echerub]

No worries, there are some of us who are keenly awaiting news on the honyaki gyutos

 

[SpikeC]

How are you guys more excited about heiji than the badass honyaki wa gyutos here?

Because of the people involved?

 

[JBroida]

Because of the people involved?

but these Honyaki Wa-Gyutos involve two people at the very top of their game

 

[mainaman]

but these Honyaki Wa-Gyutos involve two people at the very top of their game

yes but we do not know them we know Heiji :thumbsup:

 

[Customfan]

I am excited about both!:moonwalk:

 

[Mattias504]

Damn you and your teasers Jon.

 

[Motoki]

Wow, blue #1 honyaki that's rare items!! Will there be a killer hamon on these blades? Can't wait for more info on these...

 

[Salty dog]

Notice the white stripe reflection on the blades. (Clue to the grind) These look to be bad a$$ indeed.

 

[UglyJoe]

Yup, they got some of that convexity you like, Salty! Interested to see what price point this fall at. Looks like a good knife. BTW, I'm really beginning to agree with you, a good convex grind, while "thicker" than a flat grind, performs much thinner than it actually is and better IMO than the flat ground knives.

sorry guys, i wont know the prices until i get the bill for them. I have a rough idea, but i'll know for sure pretty soon.

 

[Tristan]

Now I know why they keep saying live for the moment... the way the vendors make me want to spend money I can't afford to live in the future.

I see only 2 big uns and 2 lil uns. Salty will speak for one big un, 2 will go to mysterious strangers, leaving just one for us all to drool over.

Let me see if I can stretch my mortgage beyond 35 years...
