First time I have seen this vendor; if you are looking for a TF, look not much further, apparently....but who knows?
They exist, just more rare. I owned this oneI 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?
Same here... and I have a two-hour time difference from Melbourne!I called it wallet winning and went back to bed. Sometimes(often?) EU/Ocean sale time is pretty challenging for me on west coast.![]()
That choil shot looks clunky/chunky. I know choil shots don’t tell the story, but they do depict at least a few chapters. Lee is putting out great stuff, so I would think giving him the benefit of the doubt they will be phenomenal. That Mert on the other hand thst @blokey posted, I know that’s a phenomenal cutter.Price is good, but the choil.... Reminds me of the Tsukasa tamahagane stuff
HADO makes really amazing work (I have the Damascus blue in 210 and 240). BE AWARE that it’s really thin behind the edge (nail flexing)![]()

My Hado Junpaku is one of my favorites. Takes and keeps a great edge, doesn’t feel delicate. I prefer 240s and iron clad and it is 210 stainless but I still love using it.![]()

I’m intrigued

I’m not in a professional setting, so I love having them but when I use the 210, I can immediately feel that this is a very light, delicate blade.
I really wouldn’t suggest it for a professional restaurant setting but if you are in a different setting and want a lovely experience, they’re awesome
The junpaku line is apparently a very similar grind to Tanaka x Kyuzo if you’re familiar with it. I have a Junpaku on the way so I can’t tell you for certain.
Another person to ask are @itzjustchris1

the owner of the store, a very-pleasant-to-buy-from Monsieur Salle is also the author of the book, "Of Knives And Men", showcasing some of the top-drawer knife makers of the day. Another deep and dark rabbit hole to fall down.
