....Rare knives?
Sharpened it twice in 8 years? Either it's as sharp as a butter knife, or he's used it once a year

Probably paid the extra $105.- for the saya with built-in carbide pull-through.
Available again now
Talk me into/out of it. Looks like the B grind, really that much of a must try?
Low bevel grind with excellent steel, I can’t even talk my self out of it so that’s that

I have 2 BB but am still tempted by my hoarder desires
Ugh… my 230-260 collection has hit perfektenschlag. Looking forward to trying this out now. Have been in the 210-225 range for customs so this is perfect to try a BB

I think it's meant to be like The Price is Right, where you have to correctly rearrange the numbers to the real price to win the prize.
I'll take $0000.19
Just had a similar experience! It seems that this TF Denka is highly regarded for its performance/feel, so I did some research on EU retailers and found a Swiss shop offering one Wa Gyuto (272) big boy...for a "hefty"sum : https://www.japanische-kochmesser.c...su-Denka-Wa-Gyuto-272mm-Cherrywood::3716.html
Since I also often read comments about its numerous imperfections regarding fit & finish (blade, the handle, etc.), this inflation in prices seems quite excessive (even if it has been a trend for some time with many brands)...

That shop really is expensive but they have a good and broad range.
Oh, and don´t forget we people from the EU still have to pay import tax & customs, despite being within europe.
The price jump from 210 to 240 has always been terrible, absurd. That's why you've often only ever seen 210 and smaller Denkas being posted.
Right now we have a really favourable exchange rate.
It still comes out to over 800€ direct, without shipping so add another 30-70€.
With taxes and everything it comes up to 1100€.

A man who can wear a t-shirt with his own image deserves respect. All hail the mighty TF, we are not worthy.

I mean, it's Switzerland... What do you expect?
I lived there for a while, everything is ridiculously expensive. Groceries, Gas, Transit (although everything is very efficient), it's not at all affordable. Swiss people are used to paying obscene amounts for things so it makes sense that they'd list at such high prices
