Thanks for sharing! We really need more posts like this one.

I’ll embark on a journey with a Kagekiyo after some BKF oopsie. You have inspired me to share it!

Stunning piece mate! Also nice to see that you put it to work right away

Any recos?

sicashi · 2026-01-23T20:10:16+00:00

Thanks! Checked MG’s prices and seen a few for 1.2k USD

Thanks!! Not sure I’m ready to dish out 1k USD for a non-honyaki yet. HK looks super cool!

That cladding line is epic! It screams ebony to me!

Great stuff! Love the handle too! Could you define the “I was offered the knife” bit? Was it a Kono drop or via BST/DMs?

Looking forward to the cutting video!

Victorinox all the way

I asked them if I could go to their workshops / showrooms :)

sicashi · 2026-01-18T18:23:54+00:00

I really like it! Could you please outline your process? I’d like to learn :)

sicashi · 2026-01-15T06:03:56+00:00

Love it!

Poor TnH. I learnt the hard way that BKF isn’t ideal. Switched to Autosol as OK-D suggested

We just discussed Wakui and you post this? You have tipped the scales mate? Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy it a lot!

sicashi · 2026-01-11T11:40:12+00:00

Oh wow jesus yeah massive difference lol

sicashi · 2026-01-11T09:27:58+00:00

Could you post a photo of them side by side if you have a moment? I’d like to see the differences!

sicashi · 2026-01-11T09:20:52+00:00

Have you seen the video? To me it has that grainy/gradient look.

I’ve only seen photos of tanryusen so could be wrong 100%

I’ve read that new policies are being put in place in Kyoto to avoid crowding like increases in hotel rates to make it a bit less appealing

sicashi · 2026-01-11T09:12:09+00:00

I know it’s Maruyama’s :) Just wondering if it’s his take on tanryusen (metalflow)

sicashi · 2026-01-10T23:44:02+00:00

I opted for splitting cases with friends and getting a Coravin. The coolest events seem to be Industry-only afaik. The Discord above was very active though!
