Stupid question I'm sure, but where is everyone getting their Takada suminagashi from? Seems like an explosion of them...and I want one.

Those Takadas are so cool looking. I still haven't been able to get my hands on a 240. Do have a 270 I am afraid to use.
Step 1 use it. Step 2 pics in patina thread to prove it

WHY did I come back to look at these? Truly a beauty. I want one now….
do it....
I love this profile so much. Mentioned to him to make it tapered and angled like a Shigeki Tanaka k-tip which I found to be quite my aesthetic
Fox handmade 8.75 gyuto with hamon in W2 and a dyed maple handle. LASER this thing is so light. I think the handle might be a little too skinny for me, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet so we'll see. The blade itself though is incredibly well done and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Wondering the same. Does anyone know how people visit his shop and if he has knives in stock there? I have a friend in japan right now who might be willing to stop by.
Three weeks later, after arguing with DHL that this is a knife and not an actual laser, the eagle has finally landed.

Congratulations! Looks like an actual laser to me though.
Pew pew. It sure cuts like one. Not convinced it was necessary for me to explain it to the FAA, but here I am.
Phew that Xerxes is beautiful. Nice pickup!

That handle is SAWEET!
I visited his workshop just last week. I just dropped in bc it was an unscheduled decision to go there, but if you want to make sure he is there (or not in the middle of something) at a specific time, or check in advance if he has something specific you want, you can message him on instagram. He is apparently very responsive and happy to chat (and in person he was super lovely). He has limited stock in his workshop at any given time, but he had multiple Suiboku gyutos for example, including at least one Tanaka forged 240 damascus Suiboku.

How do you like it? Does it cut well? I’m lookin into lucid and wondering if the aesthetics match the performance? Beautiful stuff.

Was my second custom from Dominik. Since he had some failures with damascus we talked about his Dami with KU and decided on trying nickel wrought Dami with a light twist. His work is really nice, cuts better than you'd expect, especially the tip.

Looks like an Evan in a few ways to me. Really digging this one
