Someone Facebook was comparing it to a baseball signed by Babe Ruth. To me it's like comparing a vintage Mustang to a vintage Tercel. People were saying it would increase in value over 20 years. My prediction: no one will care in 20 yearsYeah now days people start to collect any kind of things
TBH Anryu knives are good, especially good for the price, and does have better F&F than some other TKV knives that's been churn out thousands a day, nothing wrong with prelaminate steel, Tanaka use them too. But they are just good, nothing exceptional, HT is very conservative even in TKV, grind is as simple as it can get, it cuts well but that's just that, Ryky blow the whole thing way out of proportion due to the whole old master myth, same with his KS thing. I'm glad he didn't get his hand on a Toyama, the flipping would be unbearable.
Yeah, and by fixating on the old kanji, it doesn't affect the availability/price of the new stuff by his nephew at all, which is identical performance wise.
New Birgersson coming soon...

Sold!
Sold out in 5 minutes - nice to see Birgersson getting some love! His knives cut way above their price point.
I love how they looks, never had the pleasure to actually use one but based on what I heard they are cutting monsters.
BTW new Apex Ultra MCX coming soon on Modern Cooking

Did he announce the time of the drop? Or did it just appear?
Was updated last night with the page, and went on sale at approx. 1PM with no other notice than he would be dropping it sometime today.
1pm eastern is his standard time as @JayS20 enlightened me to a while ago!
It was showing sold today before the clock hit 1:01...
230mm Apex Ultra Spare MXC still up at Modern cooking
As mentioned, he does 7pm local time to him for drops. He'd announced a "soon" in on his Instagram stories this morning
They're very nice. High level of fit and finish, smooth cutters and fun new steel. Pretty good at that price point. I already have a 230 from the last drop and picked up a 250 this time. Prefer the handles on these I think.
Grabbed one thanks, still some more there.
good thing you posted this, when i looked at the email it said 9pm cest and my brain registered US CST and thought what a weird time to have a drop.
managed to snag one. thanks!
Looking at the specs the 250 MCX seems super impressive, the taper is more aggressive than the 230, no wonder it sold out so fast.
these are handmade items, with(afaik) specs from a single 250 and a single 230. no guarantee all are going to be like that. regardless the specs for the 250 looked very nice.
Also the specs are copied from the last release, with the denty finish. So I would not take the measurements super seriously.

I really like how the handle is stained on this release, works well with the ferrule imo. Really cool seeing more Apex Ultra stuff out there.

I'm not not looking for one, but I'd like to think you'd get a rust free tang for $600 to your door
Haven't seen these for a while.

EpicEdge has these in many more sizes and cheaper but with ugly handles... These handles are a crime against humanity at this price (but at least it's not the Mazaki honyaki/dammy with the walnut ferrules) Epicurean Edge: Japanese and European professional chefs knives

I have both handles on different knives and I would say the Epicedge one is nicer.
To each their own but I'm a big fan of burnt chestnut (both looks and feels) and I know many others are. Good to hear that it's high quality though, unlike the Mazaki walnut ferrules.
Seems they are a lot cheaper, I wonder if the CKC pricing is related to the recent Sanjo price increase or just their pricing. Their Wakui is cheaper than EE tho.
