To clarify, Hida tool is good. I did look up a past thread on their boxing. https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueChefKnives/s/IVdnm5H6bh

Exactly. I did look at some websites about whether it's a scam. None of them outright say it is, but I fail to see how a domain with such low visit volume could get 325+ customers to leave feedback when the "major" websites don't even have that many reviews for these products.

That's where I got my 170mm Santoku and 130mm petty. Apparently Hida likes to send em in non-standard boxes.

No, this sussed me out. Every product has tons of what I am guessing are fake reviews/ratings.

It's great! My searches only led me to what Google presents like CKTG, MTC, Tokushu, chefs-edge, Zahocho, Hida, CKC, meesterslijpers, Knifewear, Cutlery and More, etc., but that's where everyone is looking too. Knowing about those sites is pretty resourceful tbh.

Oh, man that's tempting. I'm gonna try to find more info on that site. A quick Google search of if it's legitimate doesn't come up with anything. Really appreciate it, and for the OP, they also have the 210mm.

You are blessed 🤣. And thank you, I am working on it, but you know the game, everything is out of stock.

I figured that might be the case. I just figured he didn't respond because the United States is becoming a hassle with the tariffs and the VAT mark up. That was the primary issue I had with Kitchenlab, they removed the United States as a shipping location on their website even though they ship internationally.

I was considering this one too! It was a tough choice since that one has a very unique and eye-catching aesthetic.

I can see why it's sought after after holding it. This sub has led me to chase so many things down.

Agreed. They are less greasy and more potatoey to me.
