Ummm…do tell.Did we all collectively and quietly agree not to post about the Raquin extravaganza?
Even without any posting they were gone in seconds. I think the 210 kt was up for maybe 6-7 max.Did we all collectively and quietly agree not to post about the Raquin extravaganza?
Very tempted by the Merion Forge knives. I really enjoyed the pass around, and would probably jump on one if I had not been on a buying spree lately. I am envious on whoever gets them.
One day, just not today......most likely

JB upping the price to 575 GBP. $732 and they're gone in minutes.
I wanted the first one and it was gone in seconds.

Have a bubble nakiri/chuka from him, besides the beautiful looks it's a stellar performer, one of the best in my collection.
Yeah it appears that the competitive knife buying scene has gotten way more fierce.
I am sort of in awe at how fast prices are rising (this part makes sense to me), but it does not seem to impact the speed of buying from a few of these makers.

But the secondary market is a bit soft for his stuff at the moment. I think he will hit an inflection point soon. Once people start taking big losses on selling his stuff they will be less willing to purchase it first hand. Or maybe not, just my opinion. His stuff is attractive at $500 for me, not $700+. A bit too rustic for those prices
Another HVB. Nice specs on this one…

Interesting design with the cut out at the top
"Its sharpness is like our Koutetsu knives, and as a charm we added the Kiritsuke tip, which other Koutetsu have."

I've ordered one, probably will be waiting for a while tho
I was surprised to see this at the same price as his more'rustic', tbh.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Joel, nicest chap out there and I love his work but I think I’m just not comfortable with the current pricing given that for me personally I usually like to clean them up a bit - redo the polish, swap out handle, etc
I think it kinda depends on the knife. Joel makes a lot of different stuff. I think his prices are fine for the twisty boi and the honyaki. I sometimes feel he prices his more complicated stuff at a price lower than my expectation but he prices some of the more basic knives higher than we I would expect. He also charges very little for his sayas.
