*** in the Asian fushion **** is this

Lol hope it works, their knives are actually nice, the second market really ruined it for me

but...can't flippers just pre-register as well? How does this help?

 

[Mikeadunne]

I mean, appreciate the thought I guess but just like make enough of your product. Nobody’s trying to flip hados or kagekiyos

 

[JPAU]

Funny…

… bumped my post 20 seconds before I saw this. Won’t pay overs then!

guess you can only buy one

 

[jedy617]

Really doesn't change much. In pocket knives, 90% of lottery enters are flippers lol, just gives them more of a random shot vs first come first serve. But yeah at least they are trying

Probably can only register for one. Obviously could register with different details etc. but it gets around the algorithm problem and I gather that if it’s done through dealers, it will be easier to distinguish customers known to them from phantoms.

Just make more knives or charge more $

You get out of here with your logic and reason.

 

[jedy617]

It is brain rot when there are hitohira myojin and tetsujin knives on sale now for 30% off and not selling and people are paying double to triple msrp for an FM. Hell, I think Myojins full kasumi on the tetsujins are cooler lol.

Forced engraving on knife with customer name probably solves it lol

If it's in Kanji I'm in lol

edit: Or hirogana whatever it is

Elaborate! Where are such sales?

protooling and my bad its 28% off lol

Aaand now I have the urge to cut something with my Tetsujin for no good reason. Oh...here's one for the "confessions" thread. I have tupperware full of sliced carrots in my fridge building up faster than I can eat them...

Windings or nothing!

In fairness (owning a 270mm and a 300mm Tetsujin), only the Tetsujin bazookas are available on sale. I’d say that size might be a factor.

I mean in general, even when not on sale...they are available at most retailers, and way cheaper than FM's

I'm gonna get 'Okay Mode' instead of my actual name to harness the full derp.

Tetogi has a Tanaka Yohei and some Tanaka Kyuzos in 210mm.

That's for sure a good thing. Regarding dealer, as one of them recently sold their Kaiju for almost $2.5k, maybe Konosuke should also rethink support for some of their dealers. It's inacceptable that they were demanding such a high price.

I completely agree, and had actually contacted Kosuke about this specific case regarding this dealer. His response seemed to indicate that he was well aware of the issue, so today's post by Konosuke might be a way to take control back? Let's wait and see.

Thanks for the info, I was about to do the same. They actually also have insanely overpriced Hashimotos. They cost easily +$1k. It's really annyoing that an official dealer puts a much higher price on rarer pieces. I always thought there is some kind of recommended retail price.
