Thanks for the heads up. I did see that knife before and considered buying it and I still might.

I'm not entirely sure what he meant either. If it helps any the item I ordered is KS1624 from this page: http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/KSSeriesHonKasumiGyokuhakukou.html#KSSeries

Say what!? That thing is in crazy demand though.

You seem to have a different version of history than I do. I read through all of my responses and can't find any reference to me saying "swindling". Here's what I did say, for your records: And that's true. I asked for a refund right away but their initial response was to offer a...

Hey, that's the knife they don't make anymore! The new version I got did come with a saya.

@chinacats Don't get me wrong Koki's been great and I figure its a small operation so stuff like this happening is not surprising but it sucks to be on the receiving end of it. I've been looking at the Syousin a lot and will probably give that a try next.

What's your point? The site has missing information everywhere. I assumed this one was just missing the "Whole blades made of White #2" that's on the other double bevel KS knives. I'm not just pulling this out of my ass either. Everyone keeps trying to paint me the villain here but I did...

Where am I bashing Koki? All I said that it took a while to get a refund. He even confirmed to me that what was sent did not match the description... let me find the quote. From Koki to me via email: The problem is that JCK doesn't sell the model they have listed which is not right...

I knew I was taking a risk because of the lack of information but in the KS line the other double bevel knives, gyuto, petty, and suji, are all mono-steel. I assumed this one would be as well. Of course the primary issue is that what I got was significantly different than what JCK implied I was...

Thanks for the kind and well-thought response! Never said slicing knives are flat buddy. I know what I like and some knives match that while others don't. Surprise! KS gyuto, petty, and suji: all double bevel, all monosteel. KS double-bevel kiritsuke.... hm wonder what that probably...

That's my expectation and what I thought I was getting in this rare flat double bevel. Whether or not it lives up to that expectation what I ended up receiving has no flat spots anywhere.

What exactly does a "wide bevel knife" mean? It's not a phrase I'm familiar with.

Preferably. I don't have a lot of counter space and anything above that will get my into trouble.

I prefer mono-steel and I found something that was, that's all. San mai isn't out of the question but of the knives in my collection the mono-steel ones are thinner and lighter and I was going off of that. The Masamoto kiritsuke should be at least of the same quality as my other KS knife and I...

I'm about ready to give up on the mono-steel dream. I did look at the Yoshihiro before and I think it might do fine, but I was hoping for a carbon steel.
