Was going to post this.

Saw those prices and decided not to lol

 

[More_Gyutos]

Yep

 

[Asianfb10]

Sad I missed the KU and Monolith Kamon, having a newborn, I miss the good stuff.

 

[labor of love]

Is the $800 Raquin 215mm gyuto considered overpriced? I have no idea how much they actually go for because I never see them for sale.

Just to add, I don’t think these are over priced or underpriced. I think every retailer has a right to set their own prices.
I strictly meant they’re expensive and I know that my wallet feels a bit too light these days lol

Seems a bit on the high side to me compared to what Carbon was selling them for.

 

[Scott]

Yeah it’s a Kasumi, Satin is a little cheaper. But one really similar and was 145sc went for 600 from protooling last year.

 

[jedy617]

It tempted me for a second. But for 800 I want a little bigger and 145sc. I miss mine.

 

[labor of love]

Oh good eye, didn’t even realize 125sc is a thing.

 

[jedy617]

Honestly...we all probably wouldn't tell a huge difference in use. But still. I want the more better one

I've used Chefknivespro in the past and received the knife ordered.
Quality control was bad and I had to send it back, but product was real.

Definitely higher prices at Mydo.
Anyone knows if there is a Vat included in the price?
BTW the KamonHuber Kollab sold too low on EatingTools.
Just have to check normal Kamon pricing there. So the one who bought it was super lucky to get it for a good price.

 

[blokey]

EatingTool and too low, not something you see together often.

That said, the pricing is actually not that far off from a few other sites I've seen. Crocker Cutlery had a few Kamons go for 1400 used and 1600 new for a 255 and 245, respectively.

Also, I think Mydo made a mistake on the KU listing. They showed the 3 Kamons on their IG story and the KU one they showed was a Heirloom handle. The one displayed on the site last night was a model they sold a while ago (also KU, but different handle with Torpedo end caps).

Lastly, I heard from someone on here that when bringing a knife from Mydo into the US, they paid import fees

Photos of what I mean. One from IG, one from the site

I keep looking at the Kamon-Huber, but alas, I'm too poor. Was hoping for that Eating Tools pricing, lol.

Yup they declare full value on import docs. I think I paid almost $300 on a $1500 kamon a while back.

Woof, I had a $1800 knife come from modern cooking and that was only:$116

Thankfully the FKKxKamon was only like $60.

 

[mockit]

Echo all of the above. The Raquin and Kamon are both tempting. The Raquin probably more so. 125sc vs 145sc and mild steel vs. wrought or stainless. Either way someone will be happy. Cant imagine any of that stuff performing anything less than great.

Also a Nakagawa x Myojin Blue #1 210mm Gyuto. Good price w/ the discount

Was eyeballing this one as well. But knife buying is on hold for a while.

Also would be more tempting as a 240
