Knife findings

[Supraunleaded]

Looks like kns going to have a new stock of ks according to james’s IG!

Masamoto KS are readily available now at JCK. They won’t have the heart shaped handle that K&S will have though. Quite pricey nowadays $420.

Works out to be around $260 USD with free world wide shipping

I have been following him on instagram for a year or so and he uses a CNC machine to machine the knife - it has a awesome looking 'S' grind

Couldn't resist, said it would take about three weeks!

Maksim will have different flash sales up everyday this week ending on the 8th.

Toyama 20% discount on JNS.

Now things are getting interesting with more and more vendors joining the crazy sales event party. Wondering when I will be broke.

Decisions, decisions do I buy the Toyama 240 Gyuto Blue steel Stainless clad on sale at JNS or wait and buy a Watanabe 240 Blue Stainless clad?

 

[labor of love]

Now is the time to buy a Toyama.

 

[daveb]

If you took the time to ask, you prolly waited too long.

Now is the time to buy a Toyama.

Because? they will be gone soon I would guess!

Dammy 270mm is so worthy of being purchased

 

[jacko9]

Pulled the trigger and got the JNS Toyama 240mm Gyuto with the April sale. Been looking for a long 240 gyuto in blue steel and the sale pushed me over the edge!

Good choice, as cheap as you're likely to get a Toyama these days. I will post-enable your purchase for you.

LOL - Thanks and I even had Maskim hold my shipping to see if there is anything else in the next several days that I want to add to my shipment (free shipping if the amount is less than his minimum). Who knows what might show up on the daily sale?

Glad you didn’t hesitate for too long. Of course it is now out of stock.

One of the reasons that I hesitated is Maskim might offer the Tanaka knives in the following days and at a possible 25% off that would be hard to resist! That Tanaka Damascus Special was sure tempting and I did hesitate until I put it in my cart - well I hesitated too long on that one.

What was the Damascus special exactly?

The Tanaka and Toyama pair with each other nicely. It doesn’t hurt to have both.

This one reduced to $487 the Special polished one with an upgraded handle;

It sat there for a while after his announcement and I agonized over it until I was too late.

This one. A Sakai 240 ie 220 edge length. Had in my basket too while I hummed and ahhed. In the end decided the Kato Ku 210WH I got on Monday was enough knife purchasing for a while. I also figured it would be too much like my Konosuke Fujiyama W#1 which never gelled with me.

The only issue with having both is that I don't need either with the 4 Gyutos I already have ;-) T-F, Kono HD2, Kono Fuji and Kato. So the Toyama fits in only because it's slightly longer than my Kono Fuji.

 

[Corradobrit1]

I'm not sure if active auctions are against the forum rules but this is dirt cheap for a Kato

Said by someone who has 4 gyutos and just bought the 5th.

Now my wife says - "You don't need another knife"! But dear I want just one more ;-)

Purse therapy.

She doesn't know that I bought it yet and she just showed me a purse online - of course I was all smiles and told her to buy it!

Pro tip: have all knife purchases mailed to your job.

Dammy 270mm is so worthy of being purchased
