which one was that? I saw a sabaki but then forgot about it for a few days and then it was gone...

That was it…. Michaels’ quirky text made me chuckle….

foodgear has some steep prices, unfortunately

Always wondered why...

 

[blokey]

I guess Foodgear is just British for eatingtools

I know they aren't fancy western knives, but the Takamura 210 SG2 red handle are still available from Cleancut at a stellar price. 134€ Gyuto

Check country in the topright first; for some reason it defaults to US on the EU website, showing prices without VAT.

@moderncooking What happened with the Antzenberger that was supposed to be released at 6PM Berlin time today the 21st? It doesn't look like it went live at 12PM EST... do I have my timezones wrong?

This showed up at 12:02 and was gone before I could check out
Definitely a bot

I think I am responsible for this one. I have this knife's fraternal twin.
I ordered a 240 w/ a 55 heel and he offered me two profile options after they arrived. This is the one I did not choose .

Anyway, the bevels had a decent amount of very small delaminations which were noticeable in producing drag on horizontal cuts. I polished them out which was very easy as the as the knife is very flat and straight - but man does this steel sharpen like crazy. I am very impressed with the heat treat.

I have a 230 KU of this knife and god it's a veggie monster. No delam issues on mine but really an exceptional cutter and crazy HT

Always wondered why...

25% sales tax - "Moms" - which the tax man eats, to start with. The shop is in a super-trendy market type place just off-centre in Copenhagen. Not cheap real-estate. 30% import duties, shipping costs, wages and finally I guess because, like other purveyors of fine things, they can.

Looks great!
Here is the updated face lift on the knife - still playing with the polish but rehandled it and I think it is ready for primetime (my kitchen).

Just had to update that used it in my first dinner prep and I am having a lot fun. Ease of cutting is up there with the best... one of the most effortless experiences yet.. just falls through hard and soft items. Not quite a laser grind but not a workhorse and the added height gives it the heft to get the job done. I don't see this leaving my rotation anytime soon.

I’m afraid the two Antzenberger Gyuto are now sold.

We do have a Nakiri Honyaki that will soon be available though

Looks cool, shame there’s 0 information on the listing considering the breadth of styles Wakui makes.

Has anyone checked in on @BillHanna recently?

Should we confiscate his credit card for a bit until it sells?
