Would pickup the Kato as I've been looking for one, but handle isn't to my taste. (I'm more of a dark wood type of guy.) GLWS!

You could always hit it with a blowtorch real quick after buying

If I was ever to do a Kato again, this would be the one.
Don't sleep.

Nine all done
Mert and Evan pending
Kato awaiting final words. Claim itttttttt!

Also if ANYONE who’s made me a blade offer today buys my Asagi/Tenjyou from the other thread I’ll knock 50 bucks off

 

[ptanks15]

If that 9ine falls through, I'm your man.

Edit: welp, nvm

I remember seeing some of these (and that JIRO) when you posted them and man, they have me reevaluating my allegiances to certain knives.

Best of luck - I wish I could swing that Kato, and I really wish I had been here in time for that 9.

Sean did really top notch work as usual on that wood!

Suggestion for OP: Turn off all push notificaions and email alerts for thread replies and PM's

[julestools]

Realized I never posted the Evan wood work so voila!


Tansu now all sold
Evan pending with a queue
Kato fully available
Offer on the jnat post still stands too yall!

 

[julestools]

Only the Kato remains.

Buy it AND my asagi and I’ll take $100 off the pair

This thread is all sold!

Once again, thank you so so much to everyone here, truly. I genuinely could not have made it this far in either my personal journey nor my journey as a collector without all of you, and nor would I want to. I'm so grateful for the kindness and respect and thoughtfulness and appreciation you’ve all shown me. I hope that somewhere somehow someday I can return that same love in kind
