@nurunuru I live those guys! You're absolutely right about going there tipsy or even sober!

I used to run the Town Cutler shop that my friend and former chef co-worker at Quince started back in 2011. It's started out selling pieces from Aaron Wilburn and Shosui Takeda as well as your everyday culinary and outdoor heritage knives. He then moved into manufacturing his own line. When the pandemic hit he closed the SF and Chicago stores and decided to focus only on manufacturing his line of knives and tools. I came along for the ride and continued working with him for a couple more years. Being part of San Francisco's very small but very old cutler culture will forever be a special part of my life.

Love those 634's btw!

I've been wanting to make the jump to a pair of XHS's and wear the para 3 lightweight every day. Good to know about the wire clip. When I was running a knife store in SF I would get the occasional bent out clip like this for repair. I always sent it into Spyderco for a sharpening/spa day and they usually fix it or replace it. They were always really cool about it.

Hi, I'm a former fine dining chef turned knife maker and now doing pro video and photo work on top of being a full time Dad. I've always appreciated the amazing amount of information on here and figured it would be nice to start contributing.
