Gotta get ready for ARM
Because everybody needs a hand-forged ku + tsuchime board scraper. These are $75.
Carbon Or Die! Stainless…..psshhhh!

That sounds insane but my wallet is crying at the thought lol. I wonder if some of the younger makers would be more willing to do a collab. Tetsujin (myojin and tetsu bought young and willing to do interesting stuff) wrought iron/modern dama wrought workhorse with a birch bark handle from Jonas? Millions of possibilities! Nigara also does crazy stuff these days like the troll killer line and would totally collab I'm sure. Nakagawa too.
Keep us in the loop! Excited to waste more money at your shopAbsolutely happy to try to work with those guys as well. Ill have a think about what is possible
What is explanation 2, AlexI left a machi gap on one of the knives I swapped the handle on.
Explanation 1: I like how it looks.
Explanation 2: The hole of handle is too shallow to fit in the tang. I conveniently gave up after trying to dig it deeper.
Which one do you think is true? lol

Did you see the santoku Carbon silently dropped for 1300? I saw it on the front page (long after it sold for sure) and wondered if it was a mistake because there was no IG post (until a few days later). Crazy. I agree the rainbow is a bit less appealing because Nigara and Saji make similar ones. The Nigara one is definitely the most appealing to me, especially since it's ground by Myojin.Want that. But I think I have to wait for a river jump if I'm dropping that much cash in a hinoura.
No way, I probably would have grabbed I'm a dirty santoku loverDid you see the santoku Carbon silently dropped for 1300?

Sigh.. Bought as well lol. I guess my KU Kochi will be on BST soon.
JKI updated their measurement, seems they actually got even thinner and lighter.I am curious if the statements about thinness behind the edge still stands. I certainly like my KU Stainless Kochi but was hoping for equal performance from the Migaki.
@JBroida
Any chance you could provide an update on the differences between the Kochi versions at this time? I love my Kochi KU Stainless and was hoping the Migaki I just ordered would provide similar or better performance.
JKI updated their measurement, seems they actually got even thinner and lighter.
They also got narrower, that may also contributes to weight reduction.The one I sold a few years ago was a bit over 210 grams. My sweet spot. 180 grams may be a bit light for me, but only time will tell.
This one and heiji are supposed to be the best value knives in the world correct?
I don't know much about Heiji and I wouldn't say the best, that's a big title. But it does outcut Yoshikane and Watanabe imo, which are 2 of the best cutters I've used, consider the current pricing situation I'm surprised they did not increase the price.This one and heiji are supposed to be the best value knives in the world correct?
Heiji is the best project knife over $200.This one and heiji are supposed to be the best value knives in the world correct?
…and TF is a project knife over 800$…Heiji is the best project knife over $200.
