    Sukemaru nomis

    Sukemaru WS#2
    I received this after a short wait and thought I would share some photos for those interested.

    What a wonderful acquisition!

    If a set of 4 were available I would be sorely tempted.

    If one was able to commit, say, $250 to a set of 4 fine Nomis, what are recommendations?

    Thank you. I hope that people who are interested in acquiring this brand get a sense of their appearance from these photos. I am unable to comment on performance as I have not the time yet to prepare them on the stones and use them. No plan to have them sit idle in the drawer. I don't think the blacksmith wishes for them to be admired from a distance.

    Beautiful indeed. What are the handles made from?

    Best,

    Those are beautiful. I have a large 54mm Sukemaru atsunomi forged from WS1 and it is a beautiful and high-quality tool. Do you mind if I ask where you bought these?
