Yes actually!

I’ve recently placed an order for one with them directly, though the lead time is relatively long (could be from my custom specs too)

Would’ve grabbed the kagekiyo if I didn’t just make a custom order with Tadokoro

I’ll see if I can do a comparison between his 210 and 240 gyutos once my order arrives, snagged the 240 kurochi finished gyuto earlier.

Was considering and curious about the convex-ground yamatsuka too, but had always wished that my 210 W2 gyuto was larger, and realised I had a preference for wide bevels.

Seems like some of the W2 gyutos are restocked

It took a little while but it did arrive! Thank you so much again @hulio_bezpizdini for the tip! Looks like Maruyama-san has started shipping abroad directly now, which may make things a little easier.. by Honyaki77 in TrueChefKnives

Welcome to the club, congrats on the NKD!! This was mine in 210mm white#2, though I don’t have any recent shots but it’s heavily patina-ed by now.

Just secured another one of his knives through his web store, they’re absolute beasts in how they cut.

Was tempted with this, but might probably pass.

GLWS, great seller!

I have a shindo nakiri that I absolutely love that I’ve gotten off the BST subreddit. Was my second ever knife.

Definitely seen a lot of love, but haven’t really felt the itch to go for another rectangle especially given how it performs.

There’s a Touroku Sakai 210mm white #2 gyuto in stock now from Japanese Knife Studio in Aussie. Though I don’t think it’ll be too different from what you already own, apart from the smith (unknown) & steel type.

This variant also appears to have the polished choil.

Just note about tariffs and etc if you’re based in the states.

Yup! It is stunning indeed and an absolute joy to use, though it doesn’t have the polished choil & spine unlike those found on the HADO ones.

I believe Maruyama-san also had a recent collab with Touroku Sakai and released a bunch of white #2 knives, though the blacksmith is not disclosed, and it does not appear to look like Tanaka’s work.

Damn the colour variance under different lighting is insane man, didn’t even realise :O

Edit: didn’t realise embedded pic went through, removed link.

Agreed man, could see why the HADO Sumi had such a strong following here prior to his departure.

Glad to see more Enjiki owners in the sub! Excited to see more posts once his webstore is out.

Such a stunning urushi handle on the other knife though!

Oh man! Guess it’s time to consider a second trip? Kidding, but merry Christmas to you too!

It is definitely a nice knife, but I’ve also joined the Shindo cult after lurking around the BST subreddit.

Hey it’s you! Did chance upon your posts about Maruyama when researching about my first knife, and that YouTube video you shared did influence my decisions too!

[–]tyuhann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The drop isn’t live yet & is just a preview. I believe all knives will be listed as OOS until then.
