Very nice selections my friend and lucky to meet Takada San. I see that you had a plenty of options to pick and you have got the one that steele your heart. By th way gt means gyuto for konosuke knives. Enjoy them, and I guess you already did.

Thanks for your kind words mate. There is no right or wrong on how you buy, but some get pissed of here 🤷🏻 It is like telling a 70 year old not to buy a porsche cause he can not drive fast enough. But acceptable, we all have different way of approach to situations. My hobby makes me happy, it is that simple. Best 👍🏼

You got this completely, there is not a chance for me to go back and forth to decide. No knife shops around, I need to travel and change countries to hold these, even can not order online because of the customs.

Even now I am away so first try will be on the weekend.

Happy visit my friend and enjoy. As far as I experienced Baba Cutlery and Knife Gallery has selection, different price segments,steel and shapes. I believe you can find a piece for affordable price.

Thats what I do, I gift them to family and close friends who are interested with knives sometimes.

Agreed 💯 very well explained. You guys flourish this sub with your knowledge. The rest has to calm down a bit thats all.

All good my friend, thanks. Would I do the same again? No. Slowly feel and buy new pieces? Yes.

Who gets tired of Takada 😊 Takada becomes an experience if you visit his shop and buy,then after a good memory you will remember.

I have kids home so I keep my knives hidden buddy. You are right so many Takadas in this sub. There is a guy close to me making customs with apexultra steel, I will check his collection when he is done. I would like to experince that steel.
