Knife findings

TBH Ashi Gingas are actually quite short at 46mm.

Some interesting event at CKC, but Takada no Hamono T-shirt or hoodie and get a chance to win a 210 white 2 Suiboku.

I don't really know if I post in the right forum now, or if I even break a taboo by writing here... but Maksim @ JNS has posted some old stuff for sale now, including some gyutos with really high profile... like 240 by 60, and a couple of 270 by 70 mm gyutos. Perhaps of interest for some?

(If i do break a taboo, let me know in PM. )

Just checking if anyone got to try one of these.

I asked Maksim for more detail. He said both are quite blade heavy and stiff, all the way to the tip. The 240mm weights 220g and the 270mm is 370g (!).

Seem like interesting knives for heavy duty prep, breaking down protein, etc.

Thought half a year ago Shoichi was priced around $2000. The price increase is crazy everywhere especially with a 20% drop on JPY value.

Do I spy a honyaki?
The maker is... probably the same guy that makes everything else if I had to guess...

I’m quite proud I saw these Wednesday and didn’t buy the nakiri. Some great looking activity in the iron on these too.

I'm quite proud to say, I saw these and DID buy one of the nakiri.

@EricEricEric I think you've been saying for awhile you'd buy one if they were taller, here is your shot.

How is this not sold yet? if that nakiri was a little longer I'd buy the set in a heartbeat.

A sign of the times my friend

You dont see the Kono Tetsujin come up very often. I prefer this one to the Myojin SG2 I had.

I don't think these are different from the non-Kono Tetsujins blade wise but the Kono handles are way nicer than the H&K wenge on the non-Konos. I just saw though that CKTG has the 210 Kasumi for 330 which is a crazy price honestly.

 

[esoo]

Ai & Om also has the Kono MB up - previous word was that they were made by Mutsumi Hinora. Handles don't look as nice as the previous run (and they don't appear to come with the magentic saya either)

Was hoping these would sell out quickly so I didn't have to buy one. Oh well, got a 240 on the way now.

Takedas at CKC in a few days too. Already in store. I was almost tempted but watched the first cut in this video and decided against it
