[labor of love]

Well we know he gets pissed if you polish his blades as they're perfect, don't ya know.....

Seems like we have the smoking gun. Case closed.

2 minutes? Those are amateur numbers, gotta do it within at least the first 10 seconds for a Yanick lol

If whoever got that one sees this, would you mind shooting me the choil shot when you get it? Im curious how it compares to the one I recently got and his other recent work.

Obviously you need to setup alerts and stalk his page just to get in line.

@BillHanna

Yeah . . . uhm, well . . . pretty hammer marks and equally sketchy KU make up the difference? Maybe?

why. not. both.

 

[pavhav]

Uhm . . . Because it is now one of 9 (yeah - nine) cleavers I'm trying to subtly introduce without the SO noticing some serious gaslighting going on.
"This is the same one you used last time . . . "

 

[BillHanna]

This is when you get them all rehandled with the same wood. Make them more similar.

Pretty much

Even then these days it’s pretty damn impossible

I sent a message 28 seconds after it was posted and was told I came in number 2. I turned my phone off by accident in the rush to message so I knew I was screwed. I’m also curious who was fastest and by how much more.

How reactive is your beloved Munetoshi? My gyuto refuses to do anything fun and is super mellow, while the nakiri was much more so and took on some wild blues and purples from garlic etc.

Pretty mellow. Had some reactivity when new with onions. But now it's just grey patina. No colors or pizza...

Insane polish by @KasumiJLA on a @MSicardCutlery santoku. Pretty incredible value all things considered.

Anyone thinking about wagu_knife_works_japan's recent listings for the Shigefusa Kitaeji 300 Yanagiba can use this as a point of reference. Sold a few days ago for $1797

https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction...e=item_browsing_history#group=nogroup&photo=8

The 180 Kurouchi was sourced on the same auction platform. Didn't see what it sold for then.

What’s he selling it for?

 

[Corradobrit1]

What’s he selling it for?

No idea but significantly more than $1797 based on previous experience

Perhaps I should have formulated it better... what I was trying to say:
-Usually most of their black friday sales prices aren't that much better than their year round prices.
-At least in the past, they would often still be the cheapest retailer for many of their products anyway because their year-round prices were often the most competitive prices you could find (Misono was a good example of this).

So they're often a good store to buy from, it's just that unless black friday is right around the corner you're not really saving much extra during the sale.

Minor caveat: I'm semi-formulating in past-tense because I haven't paid that much attention to them in the last year or two, and diverging dollar / yen exchange rates might have changed things.

Although my English understanding is not really good, I think I understood you.
I have got free shipping, so the knife will cost me 119,95€ + VAT. I live in Spain.
The price was not bad. Now all depends on what happens when the knife arrives to Spain.
