Someone is sliding down a Slippery Nomi slope
I've been aquiring various nomi for the last few years. Some direct fro Japan, before the postage went ridiculous and some local.

JTA I have dealt with and they are good.
I’ve seen the ProTooling ads, do they have stock and a showroom as on their website?

Pat
If you decide to come up for a look give me a shout.
After my recent misadventure not sure if I should be spending any $ but I’m keen to check them out.

Misadventure, I bet your wife had a few more illustrative words to describe it and you.
Take it easy!Pat

Hi Pat, et al
Good to see this forum having a kick along.
While the forum is active again, I'd like to offer some old kanna blades that I have that are never going to be used by me now... but they could be used by someone for tapping out practise before tackling an expensive blade.
I only have three left and no idea if any of these are any good as blades themselves. As you can see they are in a neglected state and probably only good for a bit of practise.
Having said that, one of the original batch of eight was a first generation Tsunesaburo made with their renowned Togo "Tohgoh" Reigo, but that went to a good home a long time ago. None of the three remaining blades are by recognised blacksmiths, but you never know, you might get lucky and get a good user.
Free + your cost of postage.
Stay sharp and stay safe!

Hello Neil, I knew this sub forum existed, but never got around to posting in it.
I'll take the old Kanna blades please. The long term "plan" is to make a kanna . . . at a time yet to be determined and of an unknown priority.
I'll send you a pm and work out the logistics, off thread.
Next step in my journey is to source or more likely make some leather edge protectors, both for Tsubi Nomi and a few western slicks, as they all are in one drawer atm and I don't have spare space without reassignment.
I had a bit of a trawl thru the net last night, yes you can buy them, but I am not setting up a bursary for the retailer's children. I am up to 1 * 55mm, 3* 50mm, x* 45mm, y * 40mm with differing lengths depending on the origin of the chisel and phase of the moon.
At mate at the club is going to have a look at his place, for some soft leather. otherwise I'll hunt around for scraps, as uniformity is not required.
I used the nomi today on some wet camphor, the end grain looked good.Pat
