Forging will begin asap :cheers:
This is one I will likely regret passing on. So many knife, so not money
 
It's reasonable to think it would take 6-9 months so you would need to save anywhere from $200 a month to $133.33 a month if the final price is around $1200 after taxes and shipping.
Yes but if during that interval (second veterinary crisis) bummer.

I like my knives. I love my dog.
 
@moderncooking could no handle be an option?
I don’t like to do this, but I can say that the handle will be hot glue fastened if you want to replace it 😢

We try to make these knives with a cohesive design and that’s the product we are offering, but I know our tastes are not for everyone so it will be possible to replace the handle 👍🏻
 
Quick Update:

We have now ordered the steel and confirmed the details with Hado.

Due to the large numbers and Hado's production schedule we will be likely delivering these knives over 3 seperate drops. We will group the orders in a first in, first out scheduling. So those who ordered first will get their knives first.

Thank you very much to all of you who ordered. 27/30 have been ordered. We have ordered enough steel to make a total of 30pcs, so I have left the pre order open for now.

30/30 done I guess 😌

I hope the wait time for us in the third wave isn’t 2026 haha

If you did chiselled IseSmedjan’s logo that would be absolute 🔥
 
Regarding the prices, I think people forget how much Europeans pay for import during customs and that EU does not have such history with Japan and important bilateral agreements that would make it easy for us to get stuff from Japan here cheaply.

Customs “tax” on a knife would be anywhere from 17-50% depending on your country and a flat charge for it too. So being able to buy directly from Peter in Germany saves me a headache. (Sure the price reflects that already but as I am from Europe I am not able to not pay for customs either way, different for US folks)

So for me the reasoning is clear:

Did you end up persuading Hado to go to the dark side and try a convex grind?
 
For the record I don’t think anyone who bought had questions about price. I think the general sentiment around most of us here is that the price is more than fair and Peter is doing us a service with this price.
Totally agree
There will only be 30
And how many east west damasteel collabs can you recall?
I suspect these will come up as resale and if so, for more than the original
Just look at how much the Kamon x FKK collabs are going for now
 
There's a time limit on editing posts - don't know what it is.

If you have a specific edit you would like to make, report the post, include the edit and a mod will prob make it for you.
 
Include the edit you want to make in the report. i.e. "change this to this". A mod will have to accomplish edit.

Not a resale for me, really looking forward to using this knife. I cut a lot of acidic foods and carbon steel knives get dull quicker that way (it seems science supports it https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/01/21/does-acidic-food-affect-edge-retention/)

But still curious do JapanXWestern collabs appreciate in value steadily? I personally don't like knives that aren't used few of my exceptions would be River Jump though.
