At the end of the day, if you're happy with the knive(s) you have and how they perform, isn't that what matters the most?
I haven't seen a Migoto knife that I haven't lusted over, at least a little. I seem to always miss out on their drops.

Did anyone get one / actually see it as available to purchase and not just sold out?

It's called self preservation, you should try it sometime. Concede defeat on the knife front and claim victory in the wallet.

Amen.
I moved so fast when the Migoto’s went live that I didn’t look at any info on the page at all.
I’m sure it would have been great, but I nearly paid £640+ for a knife by a blacksmith I’m not personally that familiar with, a sharpener I’m not that familiar with, and a potentially challenging right hand biased grind when I’m left handed.
Can’t think of many other applications where I’m that careless dropping such a significant amount of money…
Hmm, was that listing for all knives? Each one in the IG post was unique and the store post was for the one on the far left. I think he's dropping them piecemeal, but it's probably just my wishful thinking.
Just saw this too and came here to advise everybody. Somebody here needs to get this immediately!

Man that migoto drop was pretty lame. It was practically the day after he quoted on Instagram. I was up till 4am. Why couldn't he post it at a reasonable local time for him like 12-7pm or something instead of like midnight? Ah well no wrought for me.
Apparently, the Migoto listing is grouped so guess I saved myself some money. Who's getting what though LOL
Sigh, I’m sad about not having one. Very cool stuff, like the clean but textured wrought on these

Go for it.
I called it wallet winning and went back to bed. Sometimes(often?) EU/Ocean sale time is pretty challenging for me on west coast.

Villain Arc
I can understand why some are bummed about the Migoto drop but TBH I’d much rather have a wrought gyuto from a Western maker for the price. (This isn’t a dig at Lee. In fact, I’ve picked up just about all of his recent offerings as of late and love his work.) Then again, there isn’t really anything left from Japanese makers - barring a custom chuka or the Migoto Blue #1 chuka - that I would want to have in my rotation. Yes, this includes knives like the Kaiju, River Jump, Kato Damascus, etc.
I feel like this is the first time I’m seeing wrought from Japanese makers, are they discovering the western world loves it and finally getting in on it? Or do I just have absolutely no observational skills?
Western demand is driving a good amount of new production. But there have long been super high end one off pieces made with watetsu / rentetsu (aka wrought) out there. Heiji, Tanaka, Tsukasa, Kato, all have some - sure there are more

I hope more will make some and be at least more accessible.
