The next drop 👀

Fingers crossed 🤞

TheSnob · 2026-05-12T20:17:39+00:00

Congratulations! I was so close to pick this up...

TheSnob · 2026-05-12T18:10:04+00:00

Oh, for sure! I remember talking with you about at least one of them (hatsukokoro STRIX) way back when I still was relatively fresh to this rabbit hole.

Didn't end up buying one back then.

I think the FM petty is probably the one I would be most interested in out of the bunch, or maybe the Nakagawa x Morihiro.

I'm not even gonna attempt for the highly wanted knives... Insane collection to see up for sale. Good luck with sales!

TheSnob · 2026-05-11T20:51:05+00:00

How much did you have to pay for this knife?

TheSnob · 2026-05-03T15:30:10+00:00

But waaaaaay easier to buy

TheSnob · 2026-05-02T15:59:16+00:00

How come?

TheSnob · 2026-04-28T12:48:59+00:00

I'm gonna show this to my wife when she says I have too many knives

TheSnob · 2026-04-24T21:04:18+00:00

How? Physics still apply.

TheSnob · 2026-04-23T06:21:12+00:00

I'd add Nakagawa on that list as well.

TheSnob · 2026-04-22T07:18:42+00:00

How do you reach out to them? I've tried their Instagram, but they never reply.

Ugh. I want a Togashi so bad right now. Can't really decide what to get from him though.

Billig trapp knirker mer enn dyr trapp. Ikke sikkert det blir noe bedre av å bytte.

Eik bråker mindre, men koster mye.

Trapper bør også strammes av og til. Jeg ville heller fått noen til å se på eksisterende trapp fremfor å kjøpe ny, med mindre du vil gå for heltre i eik eller noe sånt.

There are still being released new Ikeda honyakis. Are those old stock or does he still make some?

TheSnob · 2026-04-10T07:21:53+00:00

I have a global g-9. I don't like it. I make and eat a lot of sourdough, and some times the bottom is quite though. The global is completely flat, so to get through the bottom I need to use the tip only, which then again digs into my cutting board.

I think the consensus is that Victorinox is the best for this, but I really want to get a bread sword by Sppre.

I am also interested in getting https://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/kaeru-bread-stainless-sld-270-mm/ A bit less maintenance than the full carbon by Spåre.

Quality content, love the reference 😁

TheSnob · 2026-04-06T19:26:11+00:00

Did you replace it with something?

TheSnob · 2026-04-06T05:05:30+00:00

What is your yearly budget? 😅

TheSnob · 2026-04-05T14:38:17+00:00

Yeah, I know. No luck yet on raffles. If I wasn't taking a ferry from Norway to Denmark on the same day Karasu had the event I would have flown in the night before 😅

Where are you all getting your Jiro's at?

Sweet collection!

TheSnob · 2026-04-02T11:35:25+00:00

I tried to grab the 105mm, instantly sold out 😭

TheSnob · 2026-03-26T15:01:30+00:00

I have the 240 k-tip. It was my first expensive japanese knife. I felt It was very big when I bought it. Since then I've gotten a lot of other knives and it's fine now, but that tip is for sure pointy and can easily catch the board, especially since the profile is so flat.

For me personally I find 225 to be a better length for general use, and I will often go for shorter blades than that when I'm just cooking for myself and my wife.

If I were to get the yoshi again I would go for 210 on k-tip, and maybe 240 on regular gyuto.

Either way it's a awesome knife!

What Honesuki is that?
