Yeah, I spoke with him when he was recovering. Glad to see he's back at it and doing better. It was the multiple rounds of honesuki orders that I believe we're coming in advance of the two rounds of custom orders that I was referencing. Either way, I'm happy to take my time to get the apex ultra integral gyuto that I've been dreaming of. Also, there's obviously a ton more to appreciate in his work, but the kid in me just thinks the runes are f'ing rad.Was a bit delayed, guess he was sick most of the winter and just got back at it a few weeks ago
