    I saw some of these cheaper damascas knives when I was there but I assumed they were the BS laser engraved pattern. Looks like I missed out then

    bacho....... the plastic sheath makes it ideal for the pack or bumbag and they are surprisingly good to use,dead easy to keep sharp to.

    Yeah most stuff in japan is legit. That knife however was definately not cheap! bought in sakai directly from the workshop. About $500us outside of Japan if you can find them

    I’m curious what you paid from the factory? I have a strong intention to make it to Japan at some point in the next few years, and will hopefully bring some knives back with me

    400nz, the ashis were 200nz which is awesome value as well, crazy good performing knives for the price. Absolute lasers.

    Japan's an epic spot man, well worth the trip

    Ooo that is well priced! I need to change up what I have I think. I bought a small 135mm petty but the heel of the blade is too thick. It feels too cumbersome as a result. Compare the photo the left is my Guyto that is just cuts beautifully. The right is the 135 petty. Name:  IMG_3967.jpeg

    It’s from here. It’s the Dentogi Ami petty, out of stock now. Think the original maker is Tadafusa

    Knives of Alaska muskrat, picked it up after caping out (and poking a couple holes in) a mountain goat. Haven't gotten to try it out yet, but it seems promising
