Stop talking sense.I don't know, but maybe, hire someone that's not a craftsperson to answer emails?

It was a joke.
their retail partners don't have anything to retail anyways
Conspiracy Theory trigger. But I think there is something to this. With $2K Jiro petty's, I'm sure Hitohira wishes they'd thought of the idea. The subscription model will be a goldmine.True, and that is the crux of the problem.
But if you get 1000 people to pay $5.99/mth on the promise of learning when the next drop is, why do you need to make actually stuff?
Yeah it's all kanji anywayBro if they sell me a Kaiju they can engrave my name in wingdings for all I care
Paid subscription thing is dumb

Nice B2 Tanaka is pretty Rare alreadyI have a fm 210 in b#2 that is my daily driver, it was around 400 bucks when I bought it.
It is a good knife, but not that dang special. It is just a tool, nothing more.
It's also the stamp...Yeah it's all kanji anyway
Its ONLY the stampIt's also the stamp...
You're not missing anything, except the hype train.Never really had any interest in Kono knives. Now I really don’t.
Had a few pass my desk a hundred years ago, wasn't all that impressed and never looked back. They definitely got their fans thoNever really had any interest in Kono knives. Now I really don’t.
~shifts in chair~PM for FM choil shots just 4.99
so now I need to also pay up for the Just The Tip club?Only way to stop reselling at inflated prices is if Kono engraved the buyer's name on the blade, and tip the knife before shipping..
On top of the "one of the craftspeople added you to the mailing list" fee.so now I need to also pay up for the Just The Tip club?
Oh yes, the Cutting Edge Society.On top of the "one of the craftspeople added you to the mailing list" fee.
they just solve the demand problem, i dont want it anymoreAlternatively, it could affect the demand problem.
Damn well said.The internet and foreign language skills being more common by and at large took away the information asymmetry that made them powerful, slowly ushering in the age of the craftsman.
I think there was a thread about how wholesalers still provide value and a service (e.g. modern cooking).ushering in the age of the craftsman.
Isn’t that what Takada does already? He seems happy and chirpy.I think there was a thread about how wholesalers still provide value and a service (e.g. modern cooking).
I can imagine the crap show Myojin would need to deal with if he was direct selling FM's....
