It's made from scraping the metal off of juicy fruit wrappers. 100 hours of labor.
To be fair, there are tons of people that think spending what we do on knives is ridiculous, my wife included.
That is ridiculous lolEven pizza cutters sell for $1000 these days...

But the patina! The bog oak handle!I can't really hate on the pizza cutter since I tried getting a custom bench knife made from someone here before. I was told very kindly that the amount of time and money to be vain over a $7 tool wasn't worth it for either of us.
The integrity to his craft got me to say "...**** it, let's do a 270 then!" though.
Not totally true. The two 240's are still up.FYI the Maz dammys sold out on the Dutch website.
Yeah sorry- as usual I was only in it for the 210’sNot totally true. The two 240's are still up.
I wish. I’m having trouble validating the price.Did you secretly by them all???

I picked up one of his last iron clad 210 sujis and he offered me option for a custom handle. Said yes, got the bill, between the handle and shipping I paid about 200$ over the blade price. Love Wat, but that’s steep. So I have a 500$ 210 petty.Yes, with ¥12.000-¥20.000 for the handle. I’ll skip that
Yeah, he charged a lot for the handle.I picked up one of his last iron clad 210 sujis and he offered me option for a custom handle. Said yes, got the bill, between the handle and shipping I paid about 200$ over the blade price. Love Wat, but that’s steep. So I have a 500$ 210 petty.
Nope. Not my thingSell it on eBay or to CKTG
Yeah. He’s a businessman through and through. I’m about supporting people through my purchases but after the last 2 (of 5) that I gotten from him, I’ve started to sense that he’s not really into taking care of his repeat customers. Not asking for a handout, just not asking to get robbed of 150$ for a handle. Whoever makes his knives is still a terrific smith, I just won’t be owning any more in the future.Yeah, he charged a lot for the handle.
im getting a gyuto, petty and honesuki. He still charges me delivery fee for the second and third knife (¥400 extra for each) doesn’t specify why.
When other vendors would have offer a free shipping already
True.. Watanabe at its price right now is a good value, if it goes any higher than that, i will probably spend the money elsewhere.Yeah. He’s a businessman through and through.

Or no handle and super long tang?Just stick to the cheap handles and it’s all good
A pizza cutter strikes me as one of those things that I'd want to be stainless. The last thing you want to do after slicing a piping hot pizza is head over to the sink and try washing the cheese off the spinny thing.Even pizza cutters sell for $1000 these days...
