[Rainman890]

[Marcelo Amaral]

[alterwisser]

Ok, it’s Kramer

 

[RDalman]

Is this not the ~100usd thin cleaver drop we planned?

Anyway, godspeed

 

[LostHighway]

In the event that it is Kamon please offer something shorter than 250mm gyutos. With 250s or longer my kitchen cabinets would likely end up all scarred up and it would further terrorize my wife and the dog.

This was a great gift to the community. I still don’t know how you were able to make all 30 of them in a week. I love the finish: I’ve never seen a fully mirror polished denty cleaver before. The intricate engravings on the handles are also amazing, although imo mine is a little heavy on the religious imagery. Thanks again for doing the drop! I’m absolutely loving mine.

 

[Sdo]

So Kamon then? You really gave that away ian...

Another one for Kamon.

 

[marc4pt0]

Ol‘ Ben Jammin Kamon. That man definitely could pull this off, with finesse.
lots of other great names being thrown out as well.

TF Denka + Blades finished by Forty with handles by JoBone?

Kaiju?

Kaiju?

Those would be cool too

 

[esoo]

Considering the rate that Y Tanaka appears to pump out blades (lots) and the rate that Kajiu come out (never), I think it would be faster to make the KKF Kaiju - Y Tanaka + Myojin + Forty for final finish.

I will buy this!!!

oh wait…

this would be cool, as long as we accept kidney as payment.

It’s ok, as long as the “free willy” one is available.

 

[Todd762]

I would guess Kamon as well. I ordered a knife from him, the guy is organized and efficient. So many great makers I haven’t tried, I doubt anyone selected is less than phenomenal

 

[RockyBasel]

Well… we are doing the reveal momentarily

 

[esoo]

Are you guys just naming random things at this point ?

Considering I have no clue what the actual choice is, pretty much yes.

On the other side of it, I suspect we could get that knife to happen with better odds than a Kono Kaiju.....

 

[Knivperson]

Birgersson? Ahh, Im guessing Kamon as well. A 360mm denty bread knife for those big sour dough loafes.

[RockyBasel]

Super Stoked! Thanks to @alterwisser for making this one happen

 

[Jville]

I guessed it. I should win a prize spot.

 

[RockyBasel]

You certainly deserve it, for sure.

The prize we came up with is a gold star to stick on your saya, should you be lucky enough to be selected by NKW’s “algorithm” …just kidding

 

[lemeneid]

Whew!!! My d1ck is safe!!!!!

 

[esoo]

Ask @ian about Massdrop prizes...

Phallic handles is the best prize
