Damn it. I said I was never going to collect knives and used to only keep 5 around the house and now I have around a dozen...
That's all? You're a slacker!

Originally I was told early December 2017. That ship has sailed. I bugged them recently and they said "soon" so we'll see. There's a big email list on these knives. I'm pretty sure they're gonna fly.

At one time, yeah, that is all. Even that is much more than I can actually use. :|

:lol: I've already sold myself on one without knowing anything about them.

To think, a hammered laser with good kanji and pretty western handle at a decent height.... SCORE!! And what a great price for all that craftmanship

How does one screw up a delivery date by 4 months?

I would be interested to know about these too if there's any more information. Looking forward to getting these for some family members.

Might have to get one of these as a gift for a family member but test it out myself first. The Chromax has my interest peaked but that yo handle is just too much of a turnoff for me.

If this came without a bolster, I would be forced to buy a few and practice my Yo to wa conversation skills

I like the western handle, give some mass to a straight up laser.

You don't/can't have "mass" in a wa handle?

The westerns have more mass with the way the tang is done.
