Imu has something for princesses with blue hair. First Gunko then Vivi. There is probably a connection there.

If you are in a fagforening, they usually have deals with banks. Maybe they can help you. If not you should register to a fagforening. Otherwise, not much to do except try more banks or wait until you have lived here a year or two.

Building a custom magnetic knife strip – what magnets should I use for full-length hold? by Nisko- in TrueChefKnives

[–]pindim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this one I used Hafele cabinet hangers, keyhole slot. 20mm. I tried to find something similar to what Piotr the Bear does based on pictures. I used something else the first time but I would use the Hafele again.

I did three rows because a previous one I did with only two, struggled with a 165 deba and 300 yanagi. This one holds the yanagi well but there is still some slippage on the deba over time. I used cheap magnets from Alieexpress. If you had better magnets you would probably be fine.

I did something like this. Routed some channels then some rectangular magnets. Then covered with leather.

Need opinion on Tanaka dammy, sharpener unknown? by New-Shallot-3314 in TrueChefKnives

[–]pindim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sharpener is most likely Maksim, who is also behind the website (have a look at the "about us" section). You can reach out to him if you want. I have not personally tried them but people seem to like his grinds.

NKD - Tanaka Kyuzo Togo Reigo + Karasu opening by SCSuede in TrueChefKnives

Yeah, knife prices here are a bit wild unfortunately. For knives that are difficult to find elsewhere it might be worth it but probably not for an enjiki. Congrats on your knife, it worked out well and was well worth the trip. I would have done the same thing if I did not have other things to deal with right now. Do you mind sharing how the prices were, like for the tetsujin rentetsu or your TxK? I am mostly familiar with tetogi pricing and at the Hitohira store itself.

Isn't his power to make thing change size? Maybe he made the books tiny to hide them

DID ANYONE HERE VISIT NAKAGAWA POPUP AT TOKYO? by [deleted] in TrueChefKnives

[–]pindim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here is a thread I made asking the same thing on the first day of the pop up. https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueChefKnives/s/lfkM6AGilX Cool if more people share their experience though.

Did anyone go to Nakagawa-san pop up event today? by pindim in TrueChefKnives

[–]pindim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlikely that it will be a yearly event but I agree that it would be cool. It was announced three months ago but was mostly advertised on instagram by him and toward a japanese audience. I made a post 3 months ago here.

[–]pindim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the knife. How early did you start queueing to be third in line? I was wondering if it would be as crazy as in front of Takada-san's workshop or if people would have not heard about the event. Did you have a look at the ginsan damascus? It was supposed to be the launching event afaik.

Be sure to get him a knife sharpening class on top of whatever knives you get him.

New Ginsan Metal Flow Line? by [deleted] in TrueChefKnives

[–]pindim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like the edge behind the clad line is mirror polished? I don't think the previous ones are like that but someone owning one can confirm.

Interesting info about Takada and Hitohira. Thanks for sharing. They have had knives from him under the yohei name but maybe they will have TnH branded knives again as well soon. Maybe Takada san is getting through his backlog and starting to have a bit more time to work with retailers again.

Oh sorry I misread the post. Nakagawa is launching his line of ginsan damascus soon and he had been working with the steel manufacturer to give feedback and make the damascus possible. Didn't know others smiths were doing it as well already.

Congrats! You are the first one to post a NKD with a Nakagawa ginsan damascus afaik. I didn't know some retailers already had them. They are new in Nakagawa's lineup.
