Hiromoto Aogami Super (AS) Steel Gallery - Full Spa Treatment

Wow Dave thats going to make some one happy!

 

whoa thats the best one yet Dave, that owner is gonna be in the clouds with that one. Ahhhmazing

 

really loving dyed box elder!

 

Seeing all the nice handles is starting to make me sad I didnt go for it lol, im sure that will change the second I get this in hand and take some onions to the board though. that last one with the Elder was almost to much for me though

Good Golly Miss Molly, this IS mine,... I have it, its in my hand (one sec before while I put it down before I hurt myself trying to type)...

I can describe how amazing this thing is, I owe Jim a Kiss, and Dave really is a wizard. I even had the guys at work eyeballing it all afternoon (I had to shoot out on lunch to grab it at the post office). I am so happy with this, truly a great piece to centre my collection around, my first real knife, that kind of came last lol, was worth every agonizing second I had to wait for it, way more so then ketchup

 

Excellent work gents!

One more closer to mine ;-)

 

now that i have mine i can tease...


oh sorry John, i thought you had heard... Dave had to send yours back to Japan nothing wrong with the knife but there was a tiny wrinkle in the box it cane in and Dave wasn't happy with it

 

Psh. Like I keep boxes for knives that will have to pried from my cold dead fingers...

Really great looking Dave! Are these the last from the old shop?

 

Yup that's the last of them.

 

End of an Era.

 

Better than imagined! The mail won't show up fast enough now.

Need to find a suji...

 

I'm glad you like them John. Good luck with hunt for a suji.

 

John, when those arrive you will have to bring them round so I can drool on them.

 

Was planning on it!

 

Always a pleasure to see you work on these knives. To date I think they are still my favorite production knife company, not that I would be up to speed on anything new in the past 5 years... to foggy in the head to remember that far back.

The temptation to get one of your conversions has always haunted me
