Toyama Love

[lemeneid]

I asked Maksim when he might be getting the Toyama Honyaki last year - “don’t know” was the answer.

@lemeneid has at least one - I wonder when he got his

I got mine in early 2019 secondhand from the polishing god v647c. And he got it from Maxim in 2018 which coincidentally was the time Toyama and Watanabe stopped doing honyakis.

So I guess mine is the very last one?

Lucky you! I think your knife is more precious just by the fact that it probably is the last one they ever did

Looks like the last train left just recently ! For whatever reason, his work has such a strong appeal to me and the extra rarity of the honyaki only intensifies it.

My 240 Honyaki getting mirror polished. Slowly but surely I’ll get this thing to a nice mirror

It's rather delayed response, but just wondering how did the mirror polishing go? Do you have any pics? Thanks

¿Por qué no los dos?

Porque no estás pagando la mitad.

All this talk of Porque is making me hungry.
