https://tinyurl.com/2x65cxh8,Seki Green Bell makes quality products at reasonable prices . I'd buy one for sure if I didn't already have a https://tinyurl.com/yq5fxr62,SS-107 << . xfNs8fI-SpA Yeah I ended up going with a Seki SS-203 I'll likely end up getting a 107 once my regular clippers get dull

Thanks to CKTG stocking these and this post, I looked into Japanese nail clippers for the first time and they are quite nice

Not sure why I was always okay with the cheap store brand ones here, they are awful and not much cheaper

I'm actually randomly going there in November this year, super excited! Tokyo > Hakone > Osaka for 5 days where I can take day trips to Kobe/Nara/Kyoto and then back to Tokyo for 5 days

As far as I know, CKTG has never carried the Takamura pro series. The only western store that carries/has carried them in the past is MTC Kitchen. That being said, the last time I remember seeing them in stock was 5 years ago? I believe they are primarily sold in Japan. Also, if I remember correctly...

This is quite the collection. Some of these deals are absolutely phenomenal.

I'm really glad I got my hands on my Anryu 300mm Suji, or else I would have had to buy the Masamoto Sohonten Korin White 330 in a heart beat.

GLWS!

They just got these back in stock on the site

It's nice to see the line is continued on! I know a lot of people love these blades and I am glad he found someone that can make them still! Yeah I couldn't agree more. I was so sad when I saw Anryu retired, and so happy when I got my hands on an Ikeda blue #2 out of the blue. I actually haven't se...

Also, in case anyone has been looking but hasn't noticed, it seems they got some blue #2 anryu's in stock, including 210mm gyutos.

They are the newest knives that show up in new arrivals at the moment

I’m glad to see you’re getting one after letting go of the older one. Please let us know how it compares to your older 220 as best as you can. I have a B2 Hammered 210 and 240 and would possibly like to add some others from the line. Sorry, I never saw your question about this! I actually found the...

Don't worry! A lot of out of the box edges are extra prone to chipping That will come out in no time with a tiny bit of elbow grease and a stone If you aren't currently the owner of a sharpening stone, a king 300 and a king 1000 are very inexpensive entries into whetstones. Personally, I have a shap...

Always loved my takeda before I got rid of it. Only got rid of it at the time because I had like 6 210mm gyutos. This shouldn't last very long, I heard these have become much harder to come by.

GLWS

Absolutely phenominal price! If I was in the market for a 210, I would be on this in a heartbeat. GLWS!

Adding onto the pile that Carter is a master. I have a saya in African ebony wood for my KS. His craftsmanship is unmatched!

GLWS!

I have yanagibas by many makers and love them all. Really no favorites as they are all so very different. Thin ones, thick ones, slim, fat....so many styles, it just depends on you personal preferences and what fish you are using it for. Keijiro Doi, Genkai Masakuni, Tanaka/Shiraki/Fujiyama, Tatsuo...

Unexpected email at 5:30 last night, all in Japanese. Was about to leave my house to meet up for a get together, noticed it, and almost ignored it as spam. Suddenly remembered I'm on Takefu Knife Village's email notification list for the last year. Scramble to create an account on the all Japanese s...

I ended up going with Poitr the Bear's leather and oak stand which has the knives sitting on it horizontally https://piotrthebear.com/front-page/leather-and-oak-knifestand I am very happy with it. I like being able to grab the knives from a horizontal position. I considered getting his larger vertic...

I quite like these...... knifeblock3.jpg knifeblock2.jpg Very compact and nice quality. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00286WX2M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I have a folding knife by boker, so I know they make some quality stuff. I read that the bokers have only 1 magnet ...

I did also get a recommendation for someone named Poitr the bear, who seems to have some interesting options available

But I have never heard of them before

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well. So, I find myself in a strange situation. My new studio apartment has nowhere on the wall where I can hang my nice noyer knife rack. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/nowamarala.html It does, however, have a large marble island with a lot of extra counter top ...

Stamped or forged means nothing to a knifes performance or quality. That is determined by the heat treatment, geometry and finish. Stamped knives come from forged steel. The new grind of the KS will affect it's performance much more than it being stamped. I have not compared my old grind Masamoto K...
