Knife findings

[esoo]

did you buy it ?

There is more than one...

 

[lemeneid]

Can someone please take that suji and the Kaeru honyaki. I’ve been staring at them the whole day now.

 

[thebradleycrew]

I went to get the suji but it was gone. Someone want to share?

I think the pricing is consistent with their extreme upcharge for knives with "custom" handles.

theres a NICE Y. Tanaka w1 240 dammy at toGo. Looks like a different style grind - wide bevel and nice looking handle

Honestly it’s consistent with Tosho (accounting for the extra Canada tax) and Sugi. I suspect prices will increase rapidly as old orders finish getting filled.

No different than the prices I'm seeing anywhere else.

I recall the Tetsujin being priced in the $450 range not long ago, compared to the $600 that's listed on CKG.

I think it should be noted that this is a Tetsujin Hamono knife, not a Konosuke.
What we don't know is if they are finished to a higher level than the Kono ones.

Anyone saw this type of hamon before?

expensive, but probably fair. also 231x51 is already on the larger side for a Tanaka 240, fit and finish looks good, you get a saya and what appears to be a nice handle.

Im not going to call it a deal, but it is tempting at that price

 

[jedy617]

Wonder who the sharpener is

 

[ReiHamono]

Is it stainless steel?

Super expensive

A free $300 petty for a 1K Toy dama I reckon is bloody bargain...

the normal price for that 240 is $800 over there so you are still paying $200 for the petty. Still a nice deal though

Tanaka 240mm super, buy it fast or forever hold your peace

It's been there for months, almost thought about pulling the trigger but the price is super high. Would rather get one at bernal for a few hundred less.

 

[ReiHamono]

I would never pay this amount, but maybe one of you would…

I mean it's pricy but this is more like buying a sword than a knife IMO. the guy is an artist and I think his knives are more meant to be art than users.

so it depends on your perspective I guess.
