Be careful out there folks. If the seller is little known, new or their account has entered into Zombie territory, always pay with secured funds.

OK, fess up, who here owns one. https://shop.gessato.com/skid-wooden-chef-knife-robinia/

Seminal reference book by the late Darcy Brockbank (@yuhindo.com) & Robert Benson who is a leading nihonto polisher in the USA. I ended up with 2 of these so selling one. Beautiful photographs accompanied by detailed descriptions of the blades. 110 pages. Retails for $75. Asking $50 plus...

Anyone have connections with vendors of quality wrought iron. I would love to know where Yannick gets his......but I guess that would be a tough ask.

In Maksims Newsletter there is an announcement that Kato has retired. Hardly surprising news given he's in his late 70's and there have been rumours for quite some time. His rate of production has increased from what I can see over the last couple of years, probably to clear old orders. And...

I have my eye on another Jnat so looking to release a couple of duplicate stones from the collection. First up is a large OKUDO Suita with fast cutting performance typical of the mine and strata. Lines are non toxic. Hardness approx 4.2 Sealed on 3 sides. 205x78x35 1217g SOLD $550 + shipping...

But all I'm seeing is this. What did KK do to deserve this insult?

Can someone ID these kanji that are stamped on the left side of the blade. Does it refer to the steel used?

Selling a couple of start Jnats that I picked up from KKF members a couple years ago to try some different stones before investing in the full size stones. Used 2-3x. I just bought a big Narutaki so selling this smaller one along with a Shohonyama Kiita. Asking $105 for both Jnats + shipping...

Nice starter set of 2 small Jnats. I bought these to try a couple of different stones to see if I prefer Jnats over Synthetics. I do. I now have full size stones so selling these on. The Asagi had a bottom layer break and has been epoxied back together by a previous owner (that was 3 years...

Selling a Morihei/Teruyasu Fujiwara 247x53 gyuto. My knife was the actual one used for the beauty shots on the Hitohira site and the specs are based on this too. Cladding is quite unreactive, acquiring some really nice blue's and oranges...

With some customs coming in the near future and a recent way over budget purchase, I've decided to sell this Comet Honyaki in W2. Tough decision as Trey is no longer making knives, so finding another will be a big ask. Hardness is approx 64 with his signature hamon line and a subtle shinogi to...

Just received my TF Denka 240 so reluctantly I need to let this Morihei/Teruyasu Fujiwara 247x53 gyuto go. Note, Morihei are no longer offering the 'Fine Finish' ie Jnat blade road polish. All new releases have the standard brushed finish only. This 240 has been used a couple of times and has...

With all the talk of popcorn vs carrot sticks on the "Kkf just a place for knife sale profit?" thread, what are your fav brands? So many taste of chemicals or fail to pop efficiently in the microwave. Anyone else like the Skinny Pop brand? Whats currently wowing you?

Given that most of use here are into JKnives it got me wondering if people have expanded their collection to include maybe one or two or more antique swords. Many of the current kitchen knife makers expouse their sword making ancestry eg TF, Kiyoshi Kato, Mizuno etc. I lusted after a katana way...

Don't know the details but Mert posted an IG announcement just now that 4 gyuto's and a sujihiki were stolen in the LA area recently. Keep your eyes open in case they show up for sale.

I'm as guilty as many, falling for the allure of a pretty face in this case the banding that can be seen in many honyaki and mono steel blades. I want to try and rationalize this and wean myself off the marketing flannel. Reading around the subject on steel segregation I constantly hear that its...
