Blimey.... I dont think he is taking orders at the moment, I emailed him last week to ask. You got in there early by the sounds of it. :-)
He closed the book in June, glad I got in when I could. I've ordered two pairing knives and a chefs knife, so it's a good thing I've got till next year to pay for them! Will update on purchases when they arrive. HotJambalaya said:

He was taking orders but as above stopped taking any more orders in June.He makes 5 knifes a week and at 1pm on Friday he lists them on the website, fastest finger first. Once you are successful you have 10 minutes to complete the checkout, otherwise it gets released back for sale.
Why such a high price? I've just been looking on Japanese Chefs Knives: You can get pairing knives there, made out of uber steels that have been repeatedly folded to give the 'Damascus' look for far less. Japanese labour rates aren't that much different from ours are they, certainly not at the Chinese sweatshop level.

You can also get Japanese knives that cost way more. http://www.japaneseknifecompany.com/products/knive...I assume the cheaper Japanese ones aren't hand made.
