  1. Haven't gotten mine yet, no shipping info either. Week to the day for me too apparently looking at the calendar

    Just got notification of shipment. Shipped on Saturday. I guess I'm just impatient.

    Now the waiting begins.

    They are based in Canada so it takes a bit longer for us south of the border
     
  4. I just got an email too. I wonder if it's a coincidence or if they noticed our posts.

    Could be, at least as far as updating our order information, but it also might just be that they have full time jobs that take precedence.
     
  6. @Jaethan Hell yeah, I can't wait. I love my pair of original 10" forgies. I brought this up in another forum, I love what you're doing.
     
  7. Hadn't known about these and they're sold out. Damn.

    Mine was just delivered - #16, though I can't see that it's engraved anywhere on the blade.

    Quick comparison with a 270 Gesshin Kagekiyo in ginsanko:

    Hope everyone else gets theirs soon!

    It looks great to me Rick. Will that pointier tip make tip work easier?

    I'll let you know. So far, all I've done is cut up an apple, an orange and some strawberries. OOTB edge was pretty good.

    Huw Jones posted a pic on another forum showing how close the new profile is to the old one. Vintage is blue; new is red.

    Except the choil area the vintage probably started the same.

    Just had a sharpening session with mine. Have to say I still really like this knife. What are the impressions of the others that ended up landing these?
