Woohoo!! Actually they're Kanetsune Kanemasa series purchased through JKI. Great value, in my opinion. Plus cool new shoes courtesy of Dave!! Thanks!

Here is Karring's new 150mm Hiromoto AS Petty with ash burl scales (wood from Burl Source) along with it's older bigger brother Karring's 240mm Hiromoto AS gyuto.

The petty is from the most recent group buy (#6) we did (yup - I'm still doing these) where as the gyuto is from the 1st group buy from way back when. The gyuto was returned to have it's blade thinned & etched as well as have the wood scales fixed (they shrank terribly - crap wood from WoodStabilizer). I'm 99% sure that the wood is now stable plus Karring is fond of the handle so we're going to keep it and see what happens.

Thanks for your patience Karring, I hope you like them....
