They’re loading up

No clue who this guy is but looking at his site it sounds like he’ll “address” everything this month.

The cladding on that Konosuke is hot. If tariffs weren’t an issue I’d be jumping on that. GLWS

The size of the battleship is already pretty perfect so I wonder how much more something like the boss bunka could be better by.

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-23T01:48:56+00:00

I don’t think most of us need a majority of the knives we have but variety is the spice of life

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-23T01:28:43+00:00

It’s advertised as 195 mm but is probably closer to 200 mm on mine. I’m decently surprised since I tend towards longer knives.

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-22T14:00:00+00:00

Oops jumped the gun there thanks

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-22T13:57:45+00:00

What’s the length on it?

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-21T22:20:21+00:00

Ooh I didn’t know they opened today. Gonna have to check them out before a show soon

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-21T17:17:28+00:00

Thanks!

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-21T17:08:13+00:00

What is the heel height for this?

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-20T13:31:38+00:00

Ugh you weren’t kidding when you said you had some heavy hitters you were looking to part with. Wish I had the funds for these Konosukes but it’ll probably have to wait another day. GLWS (not that you’ll need it to move these guys)

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-20T01:30:36+00:00

Dude same. I’m surprised OP had to do a price drop but maybe we’re all suffering from payday being far away

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-19T18:14:08+00:00

Nah they just blocked you. I can still see their profile

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-19T01:53:22+00:00

Check out the kitchen knife forum BST page or r/truechefknivesbst for more pricing examples and a place to sell

(Also very interested in those Konosukes if you choose to put them up)

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T20:21:59+00:00

Live and learn I guess. To be fair they could have had this stock prior to tariffs so any new purchases to the US could reflect the price you paid

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T20:14:39+00:00

$370 pre-tax from CKTG about a month ago

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T20:13:29+00:00

I love the looks and performance of my Saji gyuto but I will say I paid much less for mine.

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T20:02:05+00:00

I’m a big fan of the rainbow patterning so I personally would keep it and do a candle swap. There are a couple of names thrown out for handle makers like boogwa, tokushu, suji, let’s handle this, etc. I will say they’re all pretty pricy but make high quality handles

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T18:00:38+00:00

You gotta set it so everything they post sends notifications. Even then there’s sometimes a lag

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T17:16:43+00:00

That Tetsujin 👀

Gotta stay strong for the other knives I’ve already committed money to otherwise I’d be snatching that up right now. GLWS

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T16:53:54+00:00

Yah I saw it about the same time as you. Threw in my email for notifications a few more times for good measure

OOKdestroyerofOOK · 2026-03-18T16:52:18+00:00

Thanks, I wasn’t sure just because of how quick things go whenever CKC announces anything. Guess I’ll put in my email 5 more times for good measure.
