Mr. Kuwabara is a small blacksmith from Nagasaki and unfortunately, we started dealing his knives after my trip down to this area so I didn't have the opportunity to meet him in person or view his shop. He's been ill over the past year but his health has improved and he reached out to me about doing more knives and maybe something new.
I thought it might be fun to offer forum members a chance at a promotional tall petty from him so I ordered 50 of them and I'm going to offer them to you at my wholesale price. I negotiated a price of $50 plus shipping so about $55 each. They'll come with walnut octagonal handles and the blades will be made with White #2 steel. I'll finish sharpen it for free if you want by request.

I want to thank all of you for hanging out on our forum and kindly answering questions to our new customers that are constantly coming on here to learn about Japanese knives. It's a little daunting to visit our website for the first time with lots of terminology and knife makers that nobody has ever heard of before and you've all been really great about helping customers discover and learn about our little hobby.
Anyway, here is the placeholder item page. I'm guessing we'll get them in 6 weeks but I really don't know when exactly. I'll update if we get pictures or other info while we wait. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/sporforexsc.html
