Knife findings

Because I (personally) then feel like I have the advantage over others, which I try to really limit in my life philosophically.

This conversation could go on for hours and have tons of different points of view but I’ll stop my portion here.

Your choice is commendable, and I hope your integrity is repaid in some way.

Idk man it's just a payment platform. Same thing with being signed into your paypal account before a website drop where they take paypal. Just a convenience not having to type in your info every time at the billion shops that take it. Everyone I know has a shop account, even my technologically illiterate mom, rather than an advantage, I think it would be more of a disadvantage to you compared to most other consumers really.

I would get it if it was a paid service, or a sneaky workaround, but it's literally open to anyone, and takes like 30 seconds to sign up. I think those people wanted it more then and deserved to get one lol.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I think there are international limitations:

"Shop Pay is only offered and made available to orders with a US billing address, a US shipping address, and a US credit or debit card. Customers with international billing or shipping addresses will not be able to set up an account with Shop Pay."

I guess that is a fair point for international orders. For everyone US based I fail to see how it is an unfair advantage considering everyone can sign up, and takes 30 seconds. Life isn't perfect though, there have been some products I have not been able to get due to international restrictions as well.

Still, people gotta work on their quickness even without shop pay if it truly took 90 seconds for the last one to sell out haha

Mini Hinoura tsuchime for a decent price at Strata

Shop pay works quite fine for us in Canada. I've bought both locally and internationally.

but if my numbers came in I would probably go for something a little more rustic, and also actually available;

Less is more so they say. That looks like it was kicked around the forge for the last 70 years.

LNIB! Used once just to check the edge. Never sharpened.

If you feel like all you’ve ever wanted in life is a kiridashi made by Y.Tanaka that costs more than most of his knives….does Tosho have a deal for you!


Y Tanaka Kiridashi

That price is ridiculous. The shipping cost outside of North America is insanity

 

[Genghis_F]

That price is ridiculous. The shipping cost outside of North America is insanity

But you also get a stone, so that’s ok

 

[superworrier]

Crazy to think it costs more than the Kaiju

 

[blokey]

They might as well sell heat treated blanks with Konosuke on them, might sell well

 

[jedy617]

I think it would be really cool to have in the collection. I don't think price is horrible necessarily considering that for the most part it doesn't seem like Tanaka does kiris, and you get a nice stone. Still....it is a lot. If it was like $500 I would consider it.

 

[Seemore]

Wakui restock at Bernal.

No, but they've been out of stock for some time as far as I know.

I had a 210mm and the profile felt rather different than the kurouchi 240 versions although I wasn't sure if that was just a variance between the 210mm vs 240mm.

Different as better or no?

 

[xsmx13]

Different as better or no?

I'd prefer the 240mm. It felt like there was more curvature extending across the whole profile of the 210 version than on the 240's I've used.

Oh interesting, never seen that before

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

That nakiri disappeared instantly!

Ugh. I should have jumped on that sculpted gyuto

 

[blokey]

These looks interesting

They look kinda cool but I wonder if the price of admission will be ridiculous…

And some would argue a nicer steel for the hagane on the Strata versions. Tosho pricing is speculative.

 

[jedy617]

Comes with a nice enough jnat+ finished by konosuke is definitely a premium. Still like I said, I would have hoped something in like the 500 ish range.
