Knifewear has listed a few Munetoshi migaki knives, no pictures yet. That's at least three new Munetoshi retailers this year, makes me wonder how much longer JNS will stock them.

This should’ve gotten more likes... that’s interesting. I always wondered why no one does carbon core with stainless Damascus cladding... I guess if you’re ya hard to do it San mai it makes a lot of sense.Years ago I asked a friend who is a blacksmith, "why don't you make stainless sanmai knives for easier maintenance?"
It turned out that laminating stainless with carbon steel is a very challenging process which requires special equipment and techniques. I'm not aware of another famous Japanese smith other than TF who does stainless clad by himself.
If stainless sanmai is already challenging, forging stainless damascus in-house is mission impossible...
they have probably dealt with dumb asses that have done just that and complained about it.Its funny that they feel like they have to tell the buyer not to put a $1250 knife into the dishwasher . Don't get me wrong, i dont blame them for covering their basis.
But Mune Honyaki (definitely recommendable) still only in JNS ...Knifewear has listed a few Munetoshi migaki knives, no pictures yet. That's at least three new Munetoshi retailers this year, makes me wonder how much longer JNS will stock them.
For now.But Mune Honyaki (definitely recommendable) still only in JNS ...
50mm height, 200 grams.Interesting... if they're comparable performers to the JNS versions, the price is super tempting. Hope they post pics and stats soon.
Can we get ma_sha1 to add at least 15mm to this for me?

Oh didn't even notice...I love this piece, I just wish Black Lotus didn’t use a fancy swastika as their logo...
It’s one of those once u see it things... I’m sure it’s not intentional, I showed one to my wife and she’s like “why is there a swastika on it” and now I can’t unsee it.Oh didn't even notice...
I know this, in the western world it was kinda equivalent to a shamrock I guess. My grandma was showing me a card she and my grandpa sent each other and it had a bunch of cherubs on it holding swastikas. I gave the *** Treatment and she said swastikas used to be used by different people for things like that.Its a Buddhist motif representing "well-being" that the Nazi's co-opted for their evil purposes.
Except for cars and highways.... but ya they really sucked right?Those bastards ruined everything they touched.
This. It's REALLY ridiculous, and quite possibly defamatory, in a drunk kinda way. @Admin here's something that ACTUALLY needs clearing up so that reputations aren't smeared (not saying that's why it was first mentioned, but unintended consequences and so on).Please, please stop. You all realize that many people end up here when researching makers? Associating a maker in any way with one of the most heinous government regimes in history is totally inappropriate. And that’s exactly what you’re doing.
I don’t really think that’s what is happening. He said his wife saw it, now HE sees it. Period.Please, please stop. You all realize that many people end up here when researching makers?

I’m sure it’s not intentional
and propagate that...
