I am a nobody, even if I did test a 3000 USD Hattori and Rockstead, you still should not just trust my subjective opinion if you were interested in these knives. You should read more reputable reviews yourself.
Expensive does not mean high end, but high end means high end.
Hattori is one of the most famous japanese smith currently still alive. Check out the demand for his KD series kitchen knives. CowryX is one of the highest grade knife steel in the moment, 3% carbon, 66~68 HRC. I have used a low end Hattori VG10 kitchen knife, it has extremely good edge and very high standard fit and finish.
Rockstead is THE most famous japanese hunting knife brand right now, all they do is hunting knives. there are youtube videos low end rockstead folder knife cutting through a phone book, and cutting thick rope 1000 times and still able to slice paper.
If money was no object for me, I would buy a Hana and Un before buying a Purdey
Well as we see Mandy is understandably otherwise disposed.
So I checked Shelley and have this little ripper heading my way, courtesy of my wife for my BDay.
Still has some finishing to be done, wasn't what I was looking for but I see some options/gap that can be filled...lol
PM Shelley if you're looking, she has sent me plenty of photos and has some nice knives ready or nearing completion.
I also have an ol' mate in Tauranga who has made me a knife or 2 that has some available, he's going to send me some photos..
Here are some he's made, I own Photo 1 the bottom 3 in Photo 2...lol yes I'm a bit of a magpie.
Love this country and all the little crafts people we have tucked away...

I was looking at grabbing that knife off Shelley, ended up with its brother instead. Shelley showed me a small knife that was still 'under construction' so that came along too, once it was finished, for my young boy to earn at Christmas time.
I'm very happy with both knifes, Mine just needs a little work to the handle to get a better fit to my hand
Still have not heard from her???
Hi...finally seen her message about the baby....will have to look elsewhere... cheers
