I have to say this is one of the best packaged knives I’ve received but even still, it had some problems.
Cut through the edge guard & cut me while opening.
It even came with a tip protector and a block of foam.
But still it came with a bent tip

I want it
That's too foofy with that purple packaging, it for sure belongs on the west coast. I'll take good care of it for you.
I know that tip is a fundamental non-issue but I'll still shed a tear for you brother, that sucks! Knife looks frickin amazing regardless!!!Lucid knives gyuto -

Nice! One of the things I find really attractive about his knives is that they look great but they also look like knives I wouldn't be afraid to work on. I know me and know I'd lose and not regain that sexy polish but I still feel like I'd be willing to dive in and do some thinning when/if the time arose. So many customs turn me off for just that fact. I look at them and think they are sexy but then realize I'll never maintain that look and I like to tinker with the blade so...
It looks like it went through some serious shipping hell.Lucid knives gyuto -

It was shipped in a tube, which arrived in good shape, foam on both ends, all the little details I showed, wrapped in paper and bubble wrap. I’m not kidding when I said the effort was there and it was packaged with a lot of care lol. I was shocked to see any damage.
The edge guard is more like a soft rubber so that might just have gotten cut while sliding the knife in the tube and no damage appears to be there on the edge. The tip I ALMSOT feel may have been bent before ever going in the tube or been bent putting the tip cover on.

I didn’t want to say it, but that was my gut feeling as well. One of those “doth protest too much” situations.
May have been laying on the end(tip side) instead of the long side during transport and vibrations kept banging the tip against the cover. But you did say there was foam on the tip…
Minor enough I’m not going to reach out but just sad enough I’m still going to huff and puff when I see it lol
Huff and puff, indeed. I think you’re being pretty mellow about it. I’d blow a house down, or at least an inbox.
Stick it in a piece of wood and bend that sucker back. I’m sure Travis would make it right if you reached out, **** happens
MasterpieceJust received a knife I’ve been wanting to own. Thank you @DevinT. My cup is full.

I absolutely love this so much. What an incredible piece! CongratulationsGot this Krichbaum Gyuto a few weeks ago. Wrought iron over Apex Ultra with a full polish. Full takedown construction where no tools are needed to disassemble. Beautiful work by Simon.View attachment 326488View attachment 326492
kato handles are so nice.
I tried multiple katos but never one with this type of handle. Love me some ho wood but this one is definitely the best. Gives the blade a bigger feelkato handles are so nice.
First Toyama! Also first 270mm! Also also a first Munetoshi
Funny enough, I was just as excited(or scared) to smell Maksim’s packaging after some recent comments about it… it didn’t disappoint…

Is it considered poor taste to replace an OG Kato handle? Saw some Katos on a retailer post with full horn handles and was intrigued. My old ho handle is a bit worn out.kato handles are so nice.
