Alright, probably the last thread from me for today, sorry for spamming but I really want to get this guy out on its way before I leave.
I have being working with Sakai Takayuki for quite a while now. They have made many special knives for me as prototypes. One of which is this: Syousin Blue 1 Honyaki Gyuto in 240mm. This knife was made according to Chanop's and my taste (that's why Chanop has one as well ;p), I really like how it turned out when I see it and subsequently order a few of them hopefully they will come out very soon.
Anyway, I have thoroughly enjoyed this buddy for a few weeks now, and I want to give my Aussie buddies a chance to play around with it. If the interest is high enough for the US/EU, I will see if it gets a trip overseas.
Forger: Kenji Togashi (Forger of Sakai Takayuki Byakko series, Suisin Densyo series)
Sharpener: Hirotsugu Tosa (Main sharpener of my Syousin line)
Both of them are Dentou-Kougeishi (Traditional Craftsman Award).
FYI: Syousin (匠心: is the name of my custom line from Sakai Takayuki. It is currently only available to K&S, and the aim of Syousin is to vastly improve the F&F on existing Sakai Takayuki products as well as designing knife models that will be appreciated by KKF members.
So here we go:

So here we go:
The terms:
- Australian KKF members registered before 10/Nov/2014, please register your interest here, I will update the list accordingly.
- I will send out the knife to the member before 14/Nov/2014.
- You have a week to play with it, please do sharpen it if you feel there is a need to but please make sure you know what you are doing.
- You are responsible to pack it well and post it to the next member inline. I'd prever AusPost Express, insurance is not a must as long as you pack it well.
