Wakui 210mm gyuto at CKTG for $120

Wakui 240mm gyuto at CKTG for $140. Back in stock after selling out from my original post.

Missed them. Debated the buy and decided to go for it too late.
One of the 240s would have been fun

shhhh shhh shhhhhhhh lets just enjoy looking at these while we can - wish I knew when they were dropping

edit - I'm guessing it will be a lot...

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but is the blacksmith or sharpener known on these? Or even other Migoto branded knives? Reading through a selection of the descriptions on the site, some seem to be from Tanaka, some from Nakagawa, some from other unspecified Sakai blacksmiths.

I wonder who is doing the wrought iron line…I’m not aware of any of the above Sakai blacksmiths working with wrought iron.

 

[ethompson]

Tanaka has done watetsu / wrought pieces before including KKFs in progress Massdrop. Tomura has also worked with wrought iron.

Not sure, they usually disclose them if they can tho.

Check the new arrivals page from time to time. I’ve noticed them go in and out of stock multiple times now. Seems like they are releasing a couple at a time.

I might go broke for one of these wrought iron gyutos

I have already spent my monthly (ugh okay fine, yearly) budget in the last few weeks so will try to be a spectator for this one (unless it’s priced so competitively it would be insane not to).

How’s the time difference for you with AUS, will it be a long night?

Can’t go broke buying knives if you’re already broke from buying knives

New Ryusen series available @ hamono.nl with some sort of enhanced vg10 and flashy blue handles

I picked up a few of those cheapo cktg wakuis years ago. They cut great like all wakui. Really the only downside is just the cheap handle (never bothered me)

Who's the smith?

Easy enough to replace if you’d like.

I have 3 handles that just got delivered today that im going to try and replace for the first time ever lol

Cheap handle = opportunity to use better handle material and color

$1100 for Wrought migotos

Edit: $1100 AUD

Source for this? Either way I'm sure many people will go for it.
Any idea what time they're going to open this up?

I feel better knowing that others buy in multiples too
Lol

 

[bearhippo]

I was excited for those Wrought Migoto until I remembered that I already have too many gyuto and am starting to run out of knives to sell outside of branching into selling my keepers

 

[enrico]

$1100 AUD by the way

 

[jedy617]

May the odds forever be in your favor...see you gents on the battlefield

 

[jjsoviet]

We'll see if my sneaker drop luck works here

 

[ReiHamono]

I wonder who requested these knives be made and bought that amazing one second on the right?

 

[jedy617]

You're a little late eric

 

[Skylar303]

@blokey beat ya to it.

 

[dAtron]

It's wrought iron season it seems. KKF Massdrop. Migoto. Toyama. A bunch of custom knife makers now are pumping out wrought iron too.

 

[jjsoviet]

Did JP makers somehow get a shipment of wrought iron or found some wayward anchor somewhere? Either way I am excited to see more of them use it. Waiting for people like Manaka, Kurosaki, Hinoura, Tomura/Naohito, Yoshizawa, etc to get their hands on some
