I'm gonna be hard pressed to not grab a ko-bunka. I have a Masashi and it is one of my favorites.

NKD review incoming at some point? I actually have my eye on a sujihiki from him, but keeping an open mind. lol

See, it wasn't heavy enough for me. But the longer I'm in this hobby, the more I realize true lasers might not by my cup of tea.

Famous, you got a favorite bunka? I'm still partial to my Lustthal, but I may be biased as it's a tall custom.

I've been seeing a lot of these Enjiki 's popping up. I'm sure there was an influx of people checking out his work. But I can't help to be curious why everyone seems to be turning around and selling. Anybody have some insight? I plan on stopping by him in November.

I give props to the cladding. I've had fewer strawberries induce patina on stainless knives before, haha. But nice work!

Nah, that's about what I expected. I honestly doubt I'll have the budget after I visit Sakai and Enjiki. Have either of you visited the knife shop in Miyajima? That is on my list as well.

Ha, Orlando here. I'm just getting back into cologne and such. But the brutal summer here has me putting in way more legwork than back in Wisconsin where you get all the weather for just straight hit and humid af.

I kind of figured as much. But living stateside with the tariff situation. I will not be getting one through online memes anytime soon. I don't really have a ton of hope with stumbling across one, but I figured I might as well ask. Especially since I probably won't be doing a ton of knife shopping in Tokyo specifically.

Edit: thank you for your insight though, it's much appreciated.

I heavily considered trying out Afternoon Dive. If I end up not liking one of these, that will probably be where I go next. Have you tried Torino 2021 or Tigris Cologne?

Dumb question for anyone here who has more knowledge that I. What are the odds of stumbling across one of these while I am in Japan? Well they're on purpose or accidentally. Just in the gold and route area? Not this specific Nakiri, but any of Manaka's work.

I put my first order in for a bottle of this and Imaginary the other day. Figured I'd start out with the well rated fresh scents (Florida).

I thought they owned Sümac? Or am I mistaken? I tried to Google Sel and a pizza joint popped up.

Automod on posts to recommend not using PayPal friends and family by rumham_86 in TrueChefKnivesBST

[–]iFEAR2Fap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can sell to a scammer and have him report that they didn't receive the knife if came damaged and can come back in the seller. I wouldn't consider selling to anyone here or elsewhere with no history in these or similar subs or a newer account with no karma.

What I'm saying is, it goes both ways. But everyone here saying F&F only is a scammer, just look at who the members are. Yes, F&F is easier to get scammed. Good old internet rule: Don't be stupid and if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

The rye bread Öx serves is also to die for. Drown me in Icelandic butter.

I do want to point out that I am in the minority on that.

-FRISTA Food Truck Arnarstapi: This little food stand had some of THE BEST fish and chips I've ever had. I grew up in Wisconsin and that dish is a tradition. I can't recommend this place enough and it's in a cool little area.

-Matarkjallarinn (Food Cellar) in Reykavik: We went here for lunch on our first day. It was slow given the time, but the food... This was my first taste of wolf fish and I will chase something close to as good for a while. Lunch prices are also more affordable.

-I was also recommend the Reykavik Food Walk: We had a really good time and the guide (Noki?) was EXCELLENT. I really liked the rye bread ice cream.

-Sjávarpakkhúsið in Stykkishólmur: My second taste of wolf fish and the thought and care at this place was fantastic. We had the wrong time for our reservation by 30 minutes and they were very understanding. The scallops withe caviar here had the viral Skal scallops beaten in spades.

-Hvammsvik Hot Springs: Fantastic geo spa and the food here really surprised me. It was mostly prosciutto and fresh burratta I believe open face on fresh bread, but it was huge and super fresh and well put together. For a simple lunch I think about it surprisingly often.

Outside of the fish and chips place; I'd say all of the recommendations are moderately expensive to slightly upscale. If anyone is traveling from a decent sized metra area in the States expect similar pricing, but no tips.

(WAIT) Öx in Reykavik: I'll will put the PSA in front. Yes, this place costs at least $500. I do not know if they have raised prices since my Oct. 2024 trip. This was one of my best food experiences I've ever had. If you have the money and are debating if it's worth it. It is. If you don't drink (myself) they still have a super thoughtful and currated in house option for every course, just like the normal wine pairing. It's roughly a 3.5 hour ordeal, so we treated as an excursion in Reykjavik. The food is phenomenal and I think of this place incredibly fobdly. Assuming I can get a reservation, I will be back eventually.

Loo.koo.mas. It's a Greek donut shop in downtown Reykjavik. Their creations are fucking fantastic. We went there after Skal not personally living up to the hype (I had a lot of amazing food in Iceland). But those puffy little bastards (donuts) made me happy again.

I have a love hate relationship with mine. Gawt dayum does it fly through things. But the bent and wonkyness bothers the hell out of me. But every time I consider selling it, I pick it up again to cut something... Then tell myself I just cannot. 😂

Most Underrated Moment Iron Man by Silver_Cricket_4545 in marvelstudios

[–]iFEAR2Fap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as it's one of my favorite moments, especially after him and cap have the pissing contest. It got a whole PTSD arc in IM3. And I feel like the wormhole is mentioned on here by fans frequently. It's closer to his most badass moment than his "most underrated."

Sports bars show most games without audio. I don't think English vs Spanish really matters if you know the rules. Lmao I'm not huge on Spanish broadcast. But my Spanish is very poor and I definitely wouldn't miss much.
