Well shit, looks like I missed them. Was that the last of the classics or will there be one more sale next week?
These probably sold out in less than a minute. I'm not positive, but I believe Mr. Mark mentioned that the classic will not be made any more. Just the stainless clad ones with the AS center.
Yes he said this was the last batch but so far he's split the batch up over the prior 2 weeks. Wasn't sure if there were more from this batch or if this was it

Takeda has said this at least twice before....it seems every couple of years he says no more classic AS, but the demand is just so great....

A few days ago Takeda-san told me clearly, that no AS anymore. NAS knives are better (according to Takeda-san) and on my proposition to apply the same finish as on AS to the NAS, he replied: " We are blacksmiths not artists. Buy NAS now, we are not young".
So, I should buy a few more Takedas - the NAS models.
Takeda forged the Classics out a while back and on Facebook, said he was devoting a month of production to finish all of the remaining Classics to send to CKTG. He is not forging the Classics anymore going forward, so what CKTG gets is the last of then. When they are gone, they are gone.

Yup! The NAS just uses a stainless cladding instead of a carbon cladding, performance and core steel should be the same. If the Ku doesn't hold up as well on the NAS, it's stainless cladding, so it will be less prone to rusting/corrosion even w/o the KU.
Here is Tuesday's group of 8. The time of the drop is 10am Central Time. I define central time as what my clock says is 10 am. I live in Madison WI. I use the Gregorian calendar so if you're still using the Julien calendar, please make the necessary adjustments.
Dang it, I looked! It's like dangling candy in front of a bunch of kids. "I WANT ONE! ME! ME! ME!" Calendar set for Eastern Stardate 101122.22 in the summer.

Was that a record sell out?
It seemed like under 2 minutes for all of them.
I'll get a list for next week's batch so you can plan accordingly. I'm having fun with this and hope you guys are too. Almost all of them are going to regulars which makes me happy.
