The zangetsu was on my list!

FRKZ W2's are extremely underrated, 10/10 would recommend!

Curious about your process too, mind sharing pictures?

Positing a reply for future references, retailer came back and explained that ‘Sakimaru’ means the tip is not sharp :)

Hey KKFers Reposting a question I posted on a different thread. Basically I had just purchased a Sakimaru, the tanto tip is not sharpened. Blunt sharp tip as a fellow members called it. Anyone had similar experience ? Thread 'Sakimaru Tip - Sakai Takayuki Genbu yanagiba' Sakimaru Tip -...

I like how you described it! Blunt Sharp Tip! I've emailed the seller let's see what they come back with.

I can’t chime in on Tanaka’s as I’ve not been lucky enough to purchase his SS clad from Hitohira. I can comment on Togashi B1 240 mm SS Clad from Hitohira. Is a wife bevel so it sticks a bit, grind is a bit more concave but is real thin BTE, sharpens amazingly well on Suehiro 1k/6k combo And...

Thank you kind Sir this is exactly what I am after! I'll pop down this weekend and check them out.

Hey KKFer's Can anyone share their sandpaper progression to refinish a knife to a satin finish? I am based in Australia and have a hard time figuring out what sandpaper to use and where to buy 'automotive' sand paper. Local supercheap auto store's sand paper feels a a little too rough and I...
