Choil shot of the 270mm western gyuto . Also I have noticed I am getting less interaction and likes since I have started watermarking my pics but I think they are here to stay . I have seen too many pics of the makers I know copied on fake Instagram profiles selling all kinds of knives axes etc

Back when I used to cook my favourite thing was to cook was my tasting menu that showed what we could do best and often incentivised those menus making sure people chose it over ordering a starter and a steak for the main dish .
If you were asking me to make a knife and do my thing like chefs choice this one might be it . 250mm gyuto forged from 52100 with a crazy distal taper . Thick where it is needed and razor thin where it matters the most . With some flat surfaces and curved ones combined together.
Ringed gidgee western handle and bronze bolster
You can see my phone’s reflection off the choil area btw

A month ago I woke up to a scammer filing a disput

A month ago I woke up to a scammer filing a dispute on PayPal and PayPal taking the disputed amount out of my account right away . Then another dispute case was opened few days later and more money was taken . After me submitting my defence which later they admitted they haven’t bother reading it , they have asked the scammer to send the knife in condition he received. This wasn’t possible since the knife was used and more importantly it was a custom build and filing a dispute on custom one off items wasn’t possible. How do I know this information? The second person I have talked to from PayPal said it and admitted first person who read my file didn’t read my answer and found the scammer right . Luckily he dismissed both of the disputes , refunded the money they upheld from me but also granted all the money the guy was filing out of their deep pockets . 5 minutes later scammer was selling those knives to double up his scamming profits .
This dispute left me sleepless , I have lost money on shipping ( recalled items that were in transit since they have also stopped my wife’s account taking payments)
But again I think this was a blessing in disguise, I have found alternative payment methods like TransferWise, Square and now I can process credit cards over my website using Stripe . Not just their processing fees are lot better the conversion rate is lot better and not outright robbery like Paypal . I have realised that up to 10 percent of my each sales went to PayPal without a single benefit or “buyers protection “ despite they charge you for it .
Now my PayPal balance is zero , they haven’t made a single dollar of me and I am getting emails from them as a reminder to use them . Kindly fuck off PayPal . All my fellow crafts people there are plenty of alternatives out there, find the best ones that suits your needs
