I should be getting $5.99/month for my Kiwi beater.By that math, I think I should get about $20k for a 1.2519 Kamon gyuto.
It looks like something my dog made for me, himself!That handle looks like an AliExpress handle, I'd bet money on it.
I feel tempted, but holding on to my New Year’s resolutionsHow has no one snagged the Toyama 270 KU on JNS? Already have one and it’s wonderful
I don't know anything about a raffle, I just bought some high resolution images of a knife to hang in the man cave.Dayum who got in on the Eddie San-Mai Nakiri raffle?
Was this capped? You could add more than one to the cartDayum who got in on the Eddie San-Mai Nakiri raffle?

Capped at 60 I was told. Was able to buy a few spotsWas this capped? You could add more than one to the cart
Same. Made the mistake of messaging him on IG to ask if it was one entry vs raffle style, assuming since it’s drawn tomorrow I’d have time.Idk, when I went to try to buy an entry, it was sold out![]()
I thought about doing like 10, but went with 1 hahaCapped at 60 I was told. Was able to buy a few spots
Yes, but also, it's Eddie's first San-mai piece, so there's extra collector-value there... and tbh the way his pieces are going in secondary, they'll be in that range soon enough.$1200 nakiri… good for him.
I mean, I want him to be successful and think most makers are generally undercharging for their work. I’d much rather Eddie get $1.2k for his nakiri than some reseller on KKF. I just find the economics of raffles perplexing from the buyer side.Yes, but also, it's Eddie's first San-mai piece, so there's extra collector-value there... and tbh the way his pieces are going in secondary, they'll be in that range soon enough.

They’re both a probability tax.Someone doesn't like gambling.
It’s not my caper but I think it makes sense. From the seller side, maximise returns. From the buyer side, risk very little (a meal or a round of coffees for you and the homies) with the chance of acquiring something desirable (high upside and low downside).I mean, I want him to be successful and think most makers are generally undercharging for their work.

This would make tickets less desirable as your chances are lower. Wouldn’t be willing to pay as much for a ‘chance’. Opening it up also has the chance of irritating potential future buyers - if a nakiri raffle raised $3k, I think some eyebrows would be raised (even though that is not necessarily a rational response).I think the raffle itself is fine, but the limited/low number of entries doesn't make sense. Imo it incentivizes people to buy multiple entries because the odds look juuuust in reach, so there's less people running, which defeats the purpose of a raffle imo. He should just remove the limit on entries, more money for him, and it hides the odds from buyers.
I think the gyuto came first, but your point remains valid!Yes, but also, it's Eddie's first San-mai piece, so there's extra collector-value there... and tbh the way his pieces are going in secondary, they'll be in that range soon enough.
Great blades if you are a fan of Shirogami #2 excellent heat treat.
I’m not familiar - but Okubo’s been on my list at KnifeJapan. Does Yoshimitsu Kajiya fall into the same category of reverence? Or anything else to note?
