No one knows yet, it's a premonition of things to come - the Heian Dynasty 2
Tojiro DP used to be the standard starter rec
When Hoss put out the ITK I remembered hitting refresh a hundred times to get one of the first batch
Carters were reasonable money and solid performers
Mizunos were the single bevel of choice and put out some 240 gyutos that were high on my wishlist
Fishandpoi was starting the custom rehandle trend

In the olden days you used to be able to go to parties where the piles of sweet knives got out of control. And pass arounds and loaners would find you home alone with 15 knives to get acquainted with and compare.

Ugh, I miss mine. Got the little guy at Japan Woodworker’s storefront. Gifted away. I didn’t think they would become impossible to find.

Speaking of Salty and his influence..
Here’s a good one. On the bottom the original white steel Mizuno Honyaki Gyuto. Maybe the genesis of forum obsession with honyaki gyutos? A 2014? Masamoto KS in the middle and a pre makers mark Mario Ingoglia on the top. It seems none of these knives are quite like this anymore.

Apologies for digging up an old thread, but I basically stopped posting for about 6 years. Last time I was still around, Delbert Early, Pierre Rodrigue, Mario Ingoglia, BIll Burke, HHH, Devin Thomas, Marko Tsourkan and Will Catcheside were all vendors here.
The Carbonext was the new hotness and 210 sujis/line knives were the next big thing. Konosuke HD, Nenox G Type, Suisin Inox Honyaki were all highly regarded. Here's a screenshot of the forum from March 2015

Same here Steven, good to see you back. Let’s not forget my favorite American Master Smith, Michael Rader as well. It’s interesting how things fall in and out of fashion on web forums when it comes to hobbyists and collectors, which most of us are.
@Chuckles I remember a certain party/weekend in Minneapolis where Salty, Mario and I rented a camper to meet up with you, Mr. Drinky, Don Ngyuen and several others. What a blast that was lol!

I busted my nose on the zip line on day two of that shindig.
CCK 1303's FOR $25
CARTER HG'S FOR $17 +/ sun, and the original MUTEKI'S
ICHIMONJI TKC...remember the group buy....?
and the original (IMHO) laser...IKKANSHI TADATSUNA, which was one of the nicest knives OOTB in all the most subtle ways.

These were the Hawaii Sampan Tuna boats took this picture around 1970 as Corsair entering Kewalo basin as we were heading out to sea on the Kamome. The Kamome was a beautiful craft. Called a Haole Sampan because had traditional wooden Sampan hull & cabin cruiser topside with flying bridge. Went around the Islands in that boat including billfish tournaments in Kona Big Island of Hawaii.
In those days there were still the old Sampans.
Many had been lost at Sea. They worked well in heading sea, but with low sterns & single screw were tricky in very large following seas.
From early 20th century buy 1970's were on their way out. I supported a movement to save the last remaining wooden Sampan Tuna boat it ran out of steam nobody cared by the 2000's
The head of the movement argued that it would be saving important part of Hawaii's history. I agreed, but never happened.

Anyone remember when Don was offloading Doi's what seemed like weekly? Carving turkey with a 330 Hayate Yanagi, all Don's fault...... but I have alot of Keijiro's knives because of him, and one of Keijiros fathers.
