Is this knife worthy of $120?

[CommandoCobraRamboKnife]

Hello fellow mercenaries. I won a huge bet in a **** fight in Jakarta. However, the kingpin I was betting against fled and his men surrounded me. After beating them all to a pulp, I managed to rummage up $150 from their wallets but I owe $30 to the driver. If you do the math, it leaves me with $120 large. Anyway, long story short, I also owe the personal chef of Prince Notonegoro a santoku knife. I ruined his while battling a Preman in his ktitchen. Been eyeballing this knife. Anyone know if the masters are worthy of my hard earned cash? There is not much 411 on this maker.

I don't know much about how good or bad it is. It is made by the same company that makes the Akifusa knives. Whatever that's worth.

I own the Akifusa as 240mm gyuto, awesome blade, thin, well balanced, very nice fit and finish. Easily worth the asking price of 120$ imo.

If this is true, as it appears to be, a similar knife with the Akifusa master's name is quite a bit more. Seems like a good deal. I may have to rustle up a few more bucks and get an extra one for my personal quiver. Looks like there is a bare knuckle fight in Hell's Kitchen tonight, maybe I can work out a few extra clams.

I bought my akifusa for 220$ so its easily worth 120$ imo!

But, I live in Sweden with 25% tax and swedish wages and so on. But still, 120 is a steal!

Thanks, gentlemen. I ordered a couple. I'll submit a detailed AAR once I get my hands on it. I'll let you know what the personal chef to Prince Notonegoro thinks too. His standards are quite higher than mine as I just prepare meals for my small harem.

I don't have any input whatsoever on the knife, but this thread sure made me smile

Rocambolesque...

 

[chiffonodd]

You sure you're not looking for this one?

That's a beautiful knife, got a bunch. Also, I use the right tool for the right mission. That "hunting knife" is not practical in my kitchen as I prefer a death pinch grip while chopping onions. And you are also forgetting my debt to the Indonesian chef. Stay with me there, Teasle.

Very poetic at times... Hard to tell if it's Rambo or Rimbault.

Are You Mabok Bro? Don't play too much with Preman..

Anyway, it's all Hokiyama OEM brand rename. Nicer than most Seki stuff.

I can admire his bravery I guess - I'd never get involved with Preman, I'm even careful around Postman.

I only drink to take the edge off but I'm always sober, Kemosabi.

"a death pinch grip...." I'm dying here!

Thank you for the info. I received the knives. Here is the one I kept. It is a beautiful addition to my quiver, light as a feather and sharp as my instincts. My harem will give me high reward for the culinary masterpieces I prepare for them with it.

Rambo: So bad a$$ he makes santokus cool.

One does perhaps get the impression that his nether regions might be unpleasant.

Also he keeps quivering. I'm not sure whether to be embarrassed for him or to recommend a change of his chemical inputs.

 

[CommandoCobraRamboKnife]

I never quiver. I lost most of my nerve endings in fires and powder fire. My hearing is almost shot from artillery and explosives. I'm not the man I used to be, but I never quiver. My aim is true and my nerves are rock solid. However, I think you are confused about the meaning of the word quiver. Time for you to hit the books, Cochise.

 

[DavidPF]

I hit them. In the distance, I saw you quiver.

I think maybe your nerve beginnings aren't doing much better than your nerve endings, Goat Cheese. I'm concerned that you might not even be the man I used to be.

Sorry pal, not looking for a date. Just here to talk about knives. GL

One of my all time favorite movies!

Remarkable. The Preman didn't make you quiver, but the GIF did.

Preman usually not so pudgy, and generally has more clothes on. Noted for future reference, I guess.
