Amazing story! I probably would’ve just passed out when they brought out the briefcase…
After reading thru some of the TF forums, laughing most of the time. I too had to dip my toes in the TF pond. Picked up a 150mm Denka gyuto with the snazzy red pakka handle. Was looking for a petty with a little more height for cutting board clearance, this lil’ jammer fit the bill perfectly. Took it to the stones for some bevel polishing, not bad, just two little low spots that look like it’s giving you the TF stare down… Still giggle every time it’s in action.
Not too long ago I scooped up one of those Sugi/ Fujiwara customs. Having two of the best in the west putting some love into the knife was a win/win. No issues with the bevels @Forty Ounce & this is my 3rd handle from @JoBone so I jumped at the chance. Thing is a absolute monster, should have a safety warning attached!!! The only feedback with it is it’s too good, kinda the same feeing as when you give an old car a new coat of paint. It has some of that rustic craftsmanship feel still, but not like it’s lil’ buddy.
Sorry for the rant….
WHAT DID HIS SHOP SMELL LIKE?????
