  • could you tell me where you got them im going to japan and would like to buy 5!

  • @chieffy35 He sells the knives in the Osaka/Kyoto area flea markets. I took this video in 2007 but when I went back in 2010 he wasn't there. So I'm not positive he is even selling anymore.

  • I bought one of his nicer cooking knife and he gave me one of the knives he uses in the video for free, so the cost was about $28.00 for both knifes.

  • Do you have any more videos from the Osaka flea market?

  • Yes I just finished a new video of the temple and market,with more to come.

  • @leoliu08 Forge welded steel (damascus) is inferior to todays homogenous crucible steels. And even Japanese laminated steels.

  • WOW, i'm a chef with 8 years experience and i've never seen a knife that can withstand such an attack from a block of wood and still be able to slice though newspaper effortlessly. I know Damascus knives could do it, but that's definitely not Damascus.

  • How does one get in touch with the knife maker?

  • Very cool

  • I am a chef and collect cutlery from all over. I never seen a knife perform like that, regardless of steel. My $300-$1000 knives with professional sharpening cannot do that. i am speechless. I'd like to see them do that with yoshi blades or those $50-$100 knives they sell on those infomercials. These knives would ridiculously sell like crazy all over the world. What's with this guy selling at a flea market!!! and for only $28???

  • @alexsjunk Because the japanese take a lot of pride in there knife making and are very good at what they do.

  • how do we know his demo knives aren't better made than the ones he's selling?
