    Welcome to SRP. I have an old 80,000 and Kanayama are indeed great strops. Very cool to meet the man in person. Now you have fond memories as well as a pair of great strops.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Yes, it was an unforgettable meeting. My daughter helped me a lot, she found the right address and translated from Japanese. Naomi-san was very hospitable and friendly to the unexpected visitors)))
