Kosuke told me that the next run of damascus would need to be White #1 since they can't get the Blue #2 damascus anymore. I said ok.

Thats a shame I really would have liked to get a Blue Damascus from Konosuke. I didn't realize that he was even having them produced.

So you've completed your 500 hours sleeping in the truck, so your wife is letting you get more knives now? How many hours sleeping in the truck will you have to do for this knife?

I found that it's so hard for Tanaka san to forge Blue #2 dam. knives because of the reason of the material.
(different situation from W#1 dam. and Blue #1 dam.)

I'm so sorry about this..

Thank you for understanding.

Does that mean that Tanaka-san can do a Blue #1 damascus gyuto? If so that would be awesome ;-) Sorry if I'm misinterpreting your reply message.

Darn, looks like I got one of the last B#2 Damascus. :mrgreen: Now to get a White one! :)

Thank You Kosuke for the dedication to your products. I have quite a nice selection of your knives and hope to own more in the future!

Different vendors get different steels. Mark gets White 1 and Blue 2.

Yes.

Mark gets White 1, White 1 dam, and Blue 2.

We're providing "White 1" to the others but we don't plan to provide "White 1 dam" to them so far.

Which do you mean "White #2" or "White #2 damascus"?
