Guess my Gmail wanted me to pound sand since I never got it. Thanks for confirming.

When Mark states when he will be posting knives that go quickly, I highly recommend sitting on the order page for the knife and constantly updating, then moving very quickly. That is one of the ways I got a popular knife. Of course, I've had more knives disappear from my cart by the time I try to confirm the order. Also, knives have sold out before the email arrived in my inbox. Best of luck.

Yeah, e-mails to large lists take time to distribute. Some people might get lucky and see it while it’s still in stock, but equally good chance you might get it a few minutes after someone else and be too late, even if the emails are fully automated.

I don’t think they’re going to be making those again. If they do, we’ll get some and announce them here.

I'm afraid we have no plan to make them again so far.
I'm so sorry..

Hi Kosuke,

Do you have an update on the HD2 Gyutos progress? Both the 210mm and 240mm please.

Do you do anything during the Bon Festival? I read there are often fireworks and ancestor visits to grave sites.

GT210 ; I'm afraid we have no detailed forecast yet..
GT240 ; We're sending in the next package (within 2 - 3 weeks).

Each area has each small festival in Japan. Older people enjoy Bon dance (very slow), children enjoy street booths or food carts there but we have fewer festivals now because of COVID-19..

We have several Bon Festivals on Maui. I'm old but I can never remember the Bon dance steps! Lots of family fun though!

At least there is only one, with only one coming in. The rest have at least 10 knives coming in. So as long as everyone just orders one knife, there will be 49 lucky people soon. And a busy day for Mr. Mark and Miss Sue.

But only 29 knives, dang it!! That, however, does seem like a lot for Konosukes. I am grateful for what Mark does get!
