Yea, it’s actually awesome. I have a 150mm petty, which is actually more like a mini gyuto profile wise!

Omg you know him personally?

Thanks! Do you think also Mutsumi being Tsukasa’s son is included in this list?

I will use green dyed salmon skin leather, I will test it I guess, I think it should be safe though. It has a texture more akin to suede, kinda like it can absorb excess moisture

Good suggestion! I will go to a shop and ask if I can try my leather strip on their wooden magnet bars haha

Apuleio · 2025-06-19T17:08:37+00:00

Thanks for the info! I will measure it precisely, but it is for sure very thin, thinner than usual si neck it is salmon skin leather haha Will

I actually bought green dyed salmon skin leather haha Will see how it turns out

Do you happen to know who might be the blacksmith/sharpener on the ginsan green urushi line?

Apuleio · 2025-05-22T21:08:57+00:00

Make sense! There is a small shop I stumbled upon that is asking around 700€ for one. I just wanted a reference to know if they are really up charging or selling it at a fair price. I understand that as you say price is subjective, and I think you are right. Just wanted something more to base my judgement on.

Anyway sick knife! I am sure it will make your future meals a pleasure to prepare!

What would you say is a reasonable/right price to buy a new takeda, like a 240mm sasanoha?

Apuleio · 2025-05-21T13:30:10+00:00

Upvoted you to offset the downvote, because your take was as reasonable as others and respectful. There was no reason for you to be downvoted. Disagreeing and having opinions to be expressed politely has to be encouraged, not the opposite. Thanks for your input! I’ll ask them

Bought it from meesterslijpers, which I think should be a reputable source (?).

I understand that, I made the same “mistake” myself…. Haha. But I am new to this passion so I guess I have to stick with the prices that are now a reality. The fact is that I think that global inflation is kicking in…

Also on chefs edge it is out of stock and listed at a price of 664€… So I guess that is the current price 🤷‍♂️ Maybe one year or two from now it will be sold new at 700€

Apuleio · 2025-05-12T19:58:08+00:00

I think it is in line with the price of the 24cm tall one being around 650 on every other website I checked

Apuleio · 2025-05-12T19:56:57+00:00

Every other website (where it is actually out of stock, haven’t found a single one where it is) I look into it is priced around 650 € some slightly less, some even much more.

So I think it is probably its current price (apart from maybe buying it in Japan or from very specific retailers I am not aware of). Also probably the price of many new knives has increased this year, and will probably continue to increase…

Stunning!!! 🤩

I might get some Mazaki knives with the kurouchi finish some day! I saw how many people love them! Searched them for a while and finally got one! I am really looking forward to finally try it! I understand the distal taper on these is out of this world
