True, but they aren't moving at light speed like they used to. I'm buying in less and less to the "limited stock" of w1 steel myself.Knife world inflation + retirement fund. No worries, the market will support it.

I'm sure it's very limited stock of the NOS white 1, especially when considering how the modern paper steels are just available. However, a few bars of that old steel could last such a long long while anyway. I've seen how much actual core steel is used when they forge weld it with iron, it's really such a miniscule amount, I'm sure a few bars could do dozens and dozens of knivesTrue, but they aren't moving at light speed like they used to.

Always appreciate the input behind the scenesIt is not that simple ofc I have keep many my self, Kato stoped take order from others very loong time ago, thats why you dont see his knives in other stores unless they are second hand or used or on auctions also old stock or used, Kato is very healthy man so ofc he can bang out some knives when he have mode for it and want to do something in his workshop, But it is sure not his regular job, he also do not visit any knife shows anymore in Japan. He prioritise his family now and taking care of his wife. So yes it is slow retirment but many people do stuff in they retirement. I do not get right now even 20 % what I got before from him, But I am super happy that I can still offer something from him
Well, technically.....I wouldn't own a Bob Kramer knife if someone gave one to me.
I'd own a knife of any maker I've never tried, if given the knife—from Bob Kramer to Chelsea Miller.I wouldn't own a Bob Kramer knife if someone gave one to me.
I'd serious love to try a Kamer, though a Kramer/Zwilling in 52100 more achievable—mainly because I've never tried a chef's knife in that rather distinctive shape. Never tried a Global either.People & especially chefs who've owned or own Kramer's seem to pretty unanimously love and cherish them. Could be 'reputation' not reality, but what not make that argument for other popular makers like Kamon or Yanick etc. Most people will never use a Kramer, but ignoring price I'm sure they're pretty wonderful knives.
As always your transparency is appreciated!It is not that simple ofc I have keep many my self, Kato stoped take order from others very loong time ago, thats why you dont see his knives in other stores unless they are second hand or used or on auctions also old stock or used, Kato is very healthy man so ofc he can bang out some knives when he have mode for it and want to do something in his workshop, But it is sure not his regular job, he also do not visit any knife shows anymore in Japan.

And last years was overpriced....$500+ more than last year's release

Yes, they are Sakai lasers. Really good fit and finish for the price.I don't know much about these, sound like they're lasers.
I didn’t order from him, but he posted on IG that all the orders would ship by Friday.Curious, anyone get their orders from RealSharpKnife ever since the 50% off $200 sale started?
I had a poopy interaction with Dustin a while back (after a couple good ones), which made me just delete him off my radar, but that deal is too good to pass up, so I bit. Buuuut, it’s been about a week now and no shipping info sent yet, so I’m gettin’ a little spooked.

I ordered something back in September when they had 30% off. It took almost a week to get a tracking #, and then it took another week for it to actually ship out, but I did get what I ordered eventually.Curious, anyone get their orders from RealSharpKnife ever since the 50% off $200 sale started?
