For the next 10 days this thread will see a lot of d*ck jokes, CM jokes, TF jokes, people pointlessly saying “I’m in”, and people asking how to get in.

After 10 days NKW will do a big multi-colored post announcing that it’s time to sign up and instructions for doing so. Most likely you’ll send a DM to one of the massketeers and then they’ll post a list after the window closes. After that they do a random number generator and pick however many lucky winners.

Presumably they’ll pass the list of winners on to Evan, and he’ll take orders at some point.

And oh yeah, some guy named coffee-something will do several posts asking if he can be added to list at the last minute because what’s one more and hey it doesn’t hurt to ask if you can cut in line ahead of a hundred other people. And somebody will ask Jobone to make another “special” handle for Ian b/c the one he got from Dalman isn’t big enough. No, you can’t get a special handle too because nobody’s as special as Ian.

@nakiriknaifuwaifu @RockyBasel Thanks guys for all of this, and Evan as well.
When it comes down to sharpener, I hope you guys end up with an agreement with either Myojin or Takada.
No matter how recognized is Tanaka for its forging, if its work is not matched by the sharpeners' skills it will be less meaningful.
I reckon both Takada and Myojin are great for this project. With Myojin being my personal favourite of the 2.
Thanks again guys, this is awesome.😍

Great specifications and collaboration! Wow!


Any chance we will get to see samples?

Wrought iron is one of those things that teeters on the edge of beautiful and ugly. It can look stunning... or it can look.... 😒

It would be neat to know if it is likely to have tight bands... loose bands... swirls... splotches. It is one of those "I know it when I see it" aesthetics.


Bloody cool though!! British wrought iron (rentetsu / 錬鉄) was used in Japan from the mid 1800's onwards. It was used for heavy industries and infrastructure like the railroads. A nice, accidental historical loop there!

Agreed. If its anything like Joe's or Yannick's it will be a thing of beauty.

Maybe @nakiriknaifuwaifu can finally approve Myojin's KKF application? 🤷‍♂️
 
You will all see this objet d’art come to life via skills of Y Tanaka San. According to Evan, Tanaka San is motivated by this project as he is always looking to test his skills and be challenged

Really cool project with Y Tanaka - Japanese blue 1, British wrought, US handles, all integrated into as @Corradobrit1 said eloquently - “a thing of beauty”

Yeah, and don’t forget the great CO2 footprint! 😂

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see the knives! Seriously a very nice project!

I don't even want to see the co 2 print of your whole collection, for that you need a helicopter to see all of them 🤣

I’m pretty sure at this point he must live in an apartment right above Kamon’s shop, so it can’t be that bad
