I believe it used to be something to track lineage, prevent inbreeding etc...nowadays, lack of imagination is more likelyEgo/lack of imagination, yeah. Cracks me up.
How did you do that, what the F am I doing wrong to miss those on JNS ( or were they from various sources)?
I used to be subscribed to his email notification for Shig and Kato, wich never amounted to anything, now I recently subscribed to his newsletter AND I'm following his site on a daily basis....ZIP
The secret is RockyBasel is at the right place at the right time pressing the right buttons and getting lucky.
You should reconsider. I don't maintain an active IG presence but it has allowed me to pick up several Katos, Comets and the opportunity to acquire a bunch of other hard-to-find makers.hmmm, I 'm not into IG and not about to do so. I'll drop him a line to see if he also caters for social media paria's ;-)
Incense I have, will burn some...
Total dedication to the cause. You deserve a medal.Finding that rare knife on JNS site is by luck and looking there at all hours of the day. I'm on the West coast of USA and I find the opportunity to catch some of those knives at 2 or 3am most times.
No actually I'm old and that means getting up at all hours to go to the bathroom! Last time I came across a Shigefusa 240mm Gyuto was a month after buying the same knife from another vendor for $300 USD less.Total dedication to the cause. You deserve a medal.
Looks like the old one. Details please.Thought I showed it, got it a month back and love it!

SureLooks like the old one. Details please.
Yes they do, but it falls on the more expensive side of the 210mm to 240mm price gap.Just wanna know, does TF do custom order? I wonder if they make 225mm?
I've been waiting since August to be touchedHere's the automated response email I get from TF when sending an inquiry through the website. I'm looking forward to this

Yes they do make customs. But like said before, it gets pretty expensive. I recently bought a 210 mab, actual edge is 215. You could try and email Gaku if they have any oversized 210's in stock.
I see because the price of 240 is really expensive and 210 is still considerable Also His 240 is a bit too big. That’s why 225 is the perfect length especially with those tall knife profile. How much roughly the price will be since the 240 is roughly around 55k yen and 210 around 35k yen.
Also hoping it to have a rough Nashiji Kuro Uchi finish.
Hmmm, that's what I had asked about when I sent my inquiry. I was looking to get an iron clad mab 210. Sent my inquiry in August, got the "touching" automated reply and no response since.and I believe they are also doing iron clad
True so I wonder how Morihei are supplying their 3rd party retail partnersThere is no iron clad. The soft iron has not been available for a long time now.
Those are NOS. They haven’t made any new iron clad for a while.True so I wonder how Morihei are supplying their 3rd party retail partners
Not since @panda's?Those are NOS. They haven’t made any new iron clad for a while.
