–Went to Creekside Endodontics for a consultation. Back lower left tooth is apparently eating itself from inside (resorption), possibly as a result of an impacted wisdom tooth pressing on it long ago. The nerve is alive and there’s nothing to be done except keep an eye on it. Eventually it may have to be extracted and replaced.
–Put up a “Buying” post at subreddit r/truechefknivesBST for a Konosuke BY with even cladding. Got a hit an hour later from a guy in NJ. He posted a video of a BY with quite even cladding, selling for $820. I’ll buy it, after seeing a confirmation video from him tomorrow. Pretty amazing.
