Japanese Knives for Cooking - Where to Buy

Just thought I'd shoot you a few links.

Master Mizuno's family made my new yanagi for me.  I chose his deluxe aogane model as my next working knife.

I've also used Korin for years.  They have a bit of a markup and sometimes their shipping charges are really high.  They do have a good selection often.  Both in western and Japanese knives.

I have spoken with Mr. Murray Carter a few times. He's a very nice genuine fellow.  He makes great knives, period. I'd love to go take his knife making classes.  I plan to do that someday. he takes his students on knife making trips to Japan.  They get to see and do things most foreigners will never see.  My master did the same with me so I know the feeling.
