Still some Xerxes....

I know there are 30 but I've never seen any recent Xerxes release last this long. Is anyone picking one up?

Edit: looks to be about 4 left

 

[fritze]

was wrong, some left.

 

[KDSDeluxe]

Took two, but one for a friend.

 

[PeterL]

None left

I'm still seeing two left?

 

[Gavva]

No VAT

I feel like I'm a maybe here. Just checked out a minute ago. Phone was struggling so had to jump to a laptop. I'm surprised as well they lasted so long. Hopefully it went through so I've got some trade bait to get one of those eddworks hands everyone has been talking about!

Huh does he not sell to Canadians? I see no option for Canada when registering/entering shipping address.

 

[ScharferMax]

I also got one...Finally!! It appears that they're all sold out now...

I mean for 30 knives, only 10 left after 1 minute…..

Great offering from him

 

[PeterL]

Was wondering why he had stopped the monthly newsletter releases for a few months. Must've been working on this. Awesome to see how quickly most of them went. Looking forward to hearing peoples thoughts on the knives

Yet again, I couldn’t resist…wish it was longer though. 225mm is kinda too short…

 

[DoYoon Kim]

I resisted!!! Had cc filled out and everything 1 min in!!!

Well, CKTG charges ~$13 shipping so its really like $23 difference, but even still I agree with you. the better handle is still worth it. I figured I'd post the link for the truly frugal and/or those who don't care about aesthetics. Though I'm a push cutter and appreciate a flatter profile generally speaking but hadnt made that observation yet....good to know.

My Shindo rehandle journey was a whole thing... some day I'll make a post about it. I will say the stock crap handle leaves the Funayuki perfectly balanced, where I struggled getting the balance right with a custom handle.

Redundant post deleted.

225mm is too short? Are you some sort of fruit ninja?

This was easier to resist than those JBs in bst. Ugh…

Every once in a while I use my Morihei 210 and realize it’s perfectly adequate if not wonderful

 

[porcinecephalic]

I guess all the rumors were true. He really is everywhere.

 

[Genghis_F]

Sounds like a 2024 Edition Primus. Flat bar stock.

Does this mean roll forged vs hammer forged?

 

[M1k3]

I'm proud of you man. If you want mine, just know that it will be available for you.

Your CC? How generous!
DM me the details.

A.G. Klint has a few items up in his store. Took some restraint not to buy one of the square boys.

A new one for me, and quite pricey to say the least....

The enjin gyuto appears to have a more curved belly than his normal line.

Though I'm a push cutter and appreciate a flatter profile generally speaking but hadnt made that observation yet....good to know.

mmmmm not so sure about that. Someone with his stock handle gyuto chime in but here is a rehandled enjin, it's older so maybe he's changing profiles a bit as he evolves but it's taller than a lot of others I see. 220x52 mm.

He upswept the heel so it's not a hard thunk but the flattish effective sweet spot on this one is quite large. It ain't pretty but it's my favorite-feeling small gyuto

Dang missed the Xerxes drop. I need to stop having medical issues when folks drop something lol
