Happy for whoever gets this. Takada no Hamono is up there with Kono and Shig for F&F IMO.

Oh my, I'm about to make a poor decision

 

[M1k3]

Oh my, I'm about to make a poor decision

Getting the 180mm instead of the 210mm?

 

[ReiHamono]

One of the best decisions of your life

Oh my, I'm about to make a poor decision

Masamoto, no?

Yes, confirmed Masamoto. The second mark or first photo is ‘Mogami’ which is a knife manufacturer apparently. Translated by a native Japanese friend.

Completely agree! Mitsuaki Takada really does a remarkable job.

Even if you are not into lasers (I’m not- more of midweight guy) give these knives a try. They have remarkable release and balance.

If you have a lineup that’s mostly workhorses and need that one finesse knife- Takada no Hamono Suiboku series is a Ferrari among Miatas

Lol a 270mm Shigefusa Kasumi Gyuto up on eBay for 2 boxes of ziti!

I have a 240 kasumi, and I’m sorry they aren’t at the $2,000 level… a top level performer yes, worth 2K… I think not

@Southpaw

yea i made him a very sexy offer and he declined, his loss

 

[ReiHamono]

Maybe we should all low ball him with lots of low offers now

That same knife is for sale in the classifieds here for $1600. Would this one be considered flipping?

No, I don’t think so. I’ve put knives up on here and on eBay. eBay takes a very large percentage from the seller. Ebay often will take up to 20% depending on how you have your item set up. So a knife he’s selling for 2K on eBay he’ll only walk away with $1600.

I don’t think he’s a flipper; eBay just sucks for selling expensive items.

 

[bahamaroot]

I was thinking more about the price in general not about it being listed for more on FleaBay. $1600 is pretty steep for a Shig.....

Word. In that case I concur! Very expensive.

 

[jedy617]

eBay will take 12%. Also funny he describes it as tamahagane steel lol

I’m ashamed at how low I’ve sold some knives given where the prices have gone. Sigh. But yeah. That’s super steep imo. Bought my first Shig under 500.

At $2430 (tax free) and no handle, I'm convinced the Shig market index linked to the energy sector? Crazy pricing for kasumi finishes.

Well someone thought it worth it as it is now gone....

And all power to them.

It was kitaeji I think, but yes, a little nuts.

Ahh OK then the JNS Yo Shig is reasonably priced in the current market.

 

[jedy617]

Can't believe someone paid over 2k for the white 1 Kato tho. Personally I'd rather the blue anyway

Don't see a lot of Tanaka damascus sujihikis:
