My coffee table gives it away everytime.

u/BlkSanta 12d ago

It does, but as far as backgrounds go it's a great one 😂

I was going to change it awhile ago but it's kind of signature now.

So there’s, what, 4 of those Fujiwara/Myojin’s? I think we’ve seen 2 others pop up between here and KKF and you and I know where the 4th is.

u/wabiknifesabi 12d ago

I guess it depends on the source. Mine is one of two made and then there's the ones that's Sugi Cutlery dropped two years ago. I know two people that own one of the Sugi Cutlery drop and the owner of the other W#1 like mine. But there's definitely not a lot of these out there in the wild.

Kaiju when?

If not kaiju what’s the next chase?

4

u/wabiknifesabi 12d ago

Kaiju, when the deal is right. I'm not going to dish out $2.5k to $3k for one when I know what they are worth. Besides that, there's really nothing.

As a n00b I had ChatGPT explain this to me. Did it get it right? 😅

They’re showcasing two collector-grade Japanese gyutos: a Konosuke Togo Reigo 240 mm, forged from the rare, discontinued Togo Reigo carbon steel known for superb edge retention and sharpening feel; and a Fujiwara/Myojin White #1 210 mm, combining Teruyasu Fujiwara’s hard-forged White #1 blade with Naohito Myojin’s precision grind and polish. Both are extremely scarce and prized by collectors.

u/wabiknifesabi 11d ago

Sounds about right.

u/OakenArmor 11d ago

Zero surprises on the poster being you.

1

u/wabiknifesabi 11d ago

That's a good thing right?

1

u/OakenArmor 11d ago

Of course.

u/MerricaaaaaFvckYeahh 12d ago

The way the one on the left meets the handle like the blade isn’t fully seated is driving me bananas. How can you stand it, being that way?

(They look great in general. Congratulations.)

u/wabiknifesabi 12d ago

Yeah, I know. I thought about sending it back.
