Massdrop for KKF?

[alterwisser]

Wanna make that 31? I dunno.. It will just be more money in your pocket!

he could also just make enough so that everyone who wanted one in the first place would get one = even more money in his pockets.

If he were to make one more knife that would go to the first person on the waitlist.

 

[alterwisser]

Maybe I'll sell my spot...

I’ll continue the new tradition in this thread (aka selective reading): I’ll take it

 

[fritze]

I am still very very happy that I can be a part of this massdrop!
It got quite still here but I hope everything is working out.

Thank you again for all your good work here!

 

[Chopper88]

Ssshhhh, now Robin will check this thread again, and it'll take even longer before they are done

We will be sending out updates on a regular basis - but all proceeding per plan so far

looks great! Can you tell us more about whats going on with that curvature running horizontally in the center of the knife? I know this isn't the final product, just curious about the details

It's an advanced Japanese shaping technique called セクシー グラインド, "Sekushī Guraindo" or "Essu Guraindo" for short. So called because it leads to sexy food release.

Sure! You're thinking about the concavity? I'm lazy so I like to spend as little time as possible at the grinder. So I grind on a wheel as that's what grinds the fastest. They get that look then when I try to grind them to cut decently. Some folks like it I guess

oh no there goes my poor "S-grind => Sexy Grind => Sekushī Guraindo the advanced Japanese forge technique" joke

It was a good one

"Sekushī Guraindo"

I heard this in my mind in the voice of a middle aged Japanese man shouting this to me through a TV ad

I heard that Robin is not only lazy but also extremely cheap and makes his knives like that to save money on steel

Save on the shipping?

 

[drsmp]

@M1k3 That’s also true , plus less handle material to balance the blade. A few pennies here and there and next thing you know you made an extra nickel

Dalman basically electroplates cheap iron on a hollow plastic core. Instant edge failure, but then no one wants to mess with the S-grind, so those who buy unknowingly are confused and afraid, and just fake being amazed. From time to time, Dalman sends a couple units to some reputed members around here and other social platforms so that they can pretend buying one and be amazed too, in exchange for a cut on next sales generated.

Sawed up 81 piece maple jenga

 

[ModRQC]

These knives will be so damn sexy.

That maple is gorgeous is that Sycamore maple (or another Scandinavian maple) or are you getting maple from the US/Canada.

I think that's what we have in sweden yes, Acer pseudoplatanus.It has grown about a 100m from the barn I have my shop in most likely. Was gifted a huge board that had been laying in the barn, and it must been there 40+ years. Have previous experience with american sugar maple that's alot softer. This is harder than the masur birch by a good margin. I have that board that will probably make ~150 handles, and then I don’t know if I can find more.

Man, I don't know which one I want more now. Either way I will be very happy

 

[RDalman]

Don't show the yo-lovers. Just a flesh wound.

Looked it up now, we have three common maple, the sycamore or regular platanus is my guess, but dont know for sure which this is. But the curls are good

 

[RDalman]

Now I'm not sure how it will materialize, but I guess it's the thought that matters. Since Ian-san changed his mind on his handle idea.

You need to make the scrotum a bit larger…

Is that a penis hamon? (Where can I buy one?)

I bet Ian will sell it to you without hesitating

 

[childermass]

But not too big or the heel will be too soft
