WTS Masamoto KS custom handle

I'm going to let this one go so I can order a custom knife this month which I'm super excited about! This is a newer grind. I'm the second owner but it's been very well cared for and it's not seeing any board time at all after I got Marko. I thought I'd hang on to it to see if it actually would come...

I will do that! I'm in the process of moving right now so it's boxed up but here is a picture I took a while ago before I really did a much better job cleaning it up.

Re: Who owns a Takeda mioroshi Deba?

In case it makes a little bit easier for someone to respond what I'm looking for is some relative dimensions to the length of the blade. The product sheet on the website gives you the basic dimensions obviously of course they change quite a bit with his knives but I'm wondering about the distal tape...

Re: USPS Shipping Delays

We love the postal service and as soon as they get through these difficult times we'll be using them again for most of our shipments as usual. We've made many friends with the carriers that have served us over the past 20 years. We want them to succeed, but we want our customers to get their packag...

Who owns a Takeda mioroshi Deba?

Just like the title says I'd like to chat with someone who's owned or does owns one of these for thoughts and feelings.

Thx!

I was going to suggest the same thing.
I really have not seen all that many nakiris by konosuke out there honestly.

Sorry i dont mean to hijack the thread at all, but I have the same similar question as OP, and to not start another thread, I am looking at the Anryu vs the gihei b2. While on paper they seem to have very similar stats, the shapes tell a different story. The way the gihei holds its height longer an...

It's whatever I just wish I had known because there was other people that would have bought it for what it was. I priced it like this so somebody could hopefully try a knife by this maker because they are hard to come by and because they are normally more expensive. Had I known I could have decided ...

Re: Takeda - Did he stop making the classic series? Just NAS now?

He’s doing them twice a year and he’s only sending them to us and one other retailer as well as selling some direct. He hasn’t mentioned discontinuing them. His big problem is they can ship Japan Post any longer to the USA because of the pandemic. Hi Mark. New member here. First, I dod not know he ...

Re: What's your current go to knife?

I will echo that I have a newer one and have been impressed by edge retention, everything about it really. I'm only a home cook, rarely cooking for more than five or six. But the edge lasts just fine in that context. I sharpen with a full progression ever couple of months and touch up in between. I...
