The stuff you find out in town.

[royalcrown]

There is a cutlery/random stuff shop out in town I decided to pop into in the idle hopes of finding a hone. While browsing though the over crammed display case I started wondering if there may be anything worth it hiding in the back and sure enough wedged in with some poket knives is a late 50's fat boy (F-1?), still in the case with the blue blades still wrapped up.

Almost bought it there but have decided to give it 24 hours before I spend the 4000 yen they want.

Wow, good find. I can hear the commercial now "Gee-reh Soo-pah ahjastabu!"

So..ended up getting it, and found an interesting scuttle. Same design as the Kamisori Club scuttle but a bit heavier.

After digging around a bit more I also found NIB Valet strops too, not sure how available these things are but if you are looking to replace yours, send a PM.

Wow, what an awsome snag at that price...Why did you even hesitate?
Great job!!!

 

[Prince]

Wow, very nice. Great looking scuttle also.

Congrats on such a Great find. Keep looking in the corners you find great stuff pushed in the back out of the way.

Oh royalcrown, how I absolutely loathe you.

I've been looking around for a Fatboy for weeks but can't seem to find a nice-looking one without spending more than $50.

This thread inspired me to go DE hunting in the antique shops near me, but I guess the rule is that if you go in with your hopes up, you'll pretty much never find anything

or maybe I should just take a trip to Japan!
