The story is he is a relatively young knife smith and he's trying to enter the market with the low prices. Also his finish is a raw kurouchi so no bling finish means all your money goes into the forging process. Aogami steel is top notch imo, so for that price you can't go wrong. I see a few santoku's available on a couple of webshops, but for the rest it's all sold out it seems indeed.
I’ll definitely keep looking in the hope stock starts to appear. It is such a fascinating world I’ve become obsessed looking at knife after knife, pretty sure my wife thinks I’ve got a screw loose.
