"surviving two nuclear bombs is noteworthy"... That's why I can read your post. Thank you for visiting my country.

I remember when all the boys in high school went door to door selling knives. Then my husband became a butcher, and we learned all the different styles of knives, sharpening, wetstones, oils. Today I'll go to my parents' house and their butcher knives can't cut butter. We sneak a few new ones in the drawer...

Thank you for posting great articles every week, Dominic! It looks like you really enjoyed Japan! Tom will definitely love those knives! Tom Holland must have worked hard filming his movies recently, so please tell him I am always cheering him on from Korea!

Just need to work out how to get rid of weirdo followers on Substack ( I’m new here ) and don’t believe for one second ‘Tom Holland ‘ just followed me for my irrelevant drivel

Glad you enjoyed your trip! From the pictures you posted, it looks like you and Nikki had a wonderful time. I’m sure the famous couple loved their gift! I bet Rosie was also so happy to see you again. Seeing your dog get so excited to see you is one of the best feelings. 🐶

I thought the knife was for Sam! 😂

I’m just so happy that you and Nikki came to Japan, but seeing this lovely post and knowing that you chose a beautiful gift from Japan for someone you love makes me even happier. 🥹

Please come back again sometime! I hope I’ll get to meet you someday. 🤍

Slightly concerned at the possible miffedness of other siblings on lack of Japanese knives for them .🫣.🤣
