True that!In the current economic situation, there are people who need to make deals with their fantastic knives regardless of how much they like them or how much work they have put in to tune them up.
Hahahhaahaha, that was me?!!!https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/tf-denka-red-western-handle-gyuto.42043/
"They are a version that are only available locally for personal callers to the TF shop."
Hahahhaahaha, that was me?!!!
I need to stop drinking!
I’d still try it first before tuning it. I mean, maybe you are a lucky lottery winner!So if I were to get a Denka, I would need to take it to a tuning shop to sort things out, and then It will be good to go
Which tuning shops in Switzerland- now that becomes the question - who are they, how do I find them, how much does it add in cost to a knife that sells brand new for about $800 give or take

There is a shop in Switzerland which carries TF:Fujiwara Teruyasu Denka - Japanische-Kochmesser.ch - Ihr Profi für scharfe Messer
This post is quite convincing. The OP found TF Denka as his perfect knife and sold those other unicorns cheaply. One of the factors which influenced me to research more on the Denka.Sound advice - I k ow that shop, did not know they carried TF
I want to try TF but worry I may be falling victim to “forum hype” like mazaki
But I am curious about that knife- why a polarizing view - has to be something there

I've been dying to post pics of my new custom Chefs knife by @Will Newham. Working with Will was a great experience all around.
Here are the details and the some of the photos he sent. Can't wait for it to arrive!
From Will:
I have kept the hardness at 63-64hrc with Ln2 cycle, blade is 230x50mm with a strong distal taper from 3.65mm to tip. I have kept some thickness to the spine to ensure strength and stability for slicing. The blade is fine edged and tapers to a thin and pointy tip as requested. The materials are copper bolster, pins with g10 spacer and black juma tapered saya pin with ringed gidgee saya and stabilised amboyna burl handle.
