This is something we've had in the works for a while, and finally got in stock today... expect to see them on the website soon...

They are kurouchi stainless clad with a very finely grained, very pure carbon core...

They will be priced from $260-$310 depending on size

Those look like different profiles than the previous Kochis. Look good!
 
Looks amazing already itching to get one lol
 
They look good. I'm tempted by the 210mm...I've got a thin gyuto and while I love thin edges, a more substantial spine would be welcome too. Do these have similar cross section to the earlier offerings?
 
we're shooting photos tomorrow or the next day, barring any unforeseen circumstances

Does Sara know that you are calling her child an "unforeseen circumstance"? :D

Be well,
Mikey
 
Just curious, what are some of the differences between these and your Gengetsu line? (beyond cladding)
 
here are a couple of side by side comparison shots (we're still planning on doing real product photos today)...

That looks great. I like the way the kurouchi was done on the stainless. Can't wait to see the official shots.
 
These photos are now done... i will officially put these up for sale in just a few hours (when i get up again). I have a feeling they are going to sell out super fast, so we already ordered more ;)
 
Beautiful addition to the Kochi line! Is the blade height for the stainless clad a tad shorter than than the V2, or is just an optical illusion?
 
any plan sale Kochi Stainless Clad Kiritsuke-Shaped Wa-Gyuto in future??
 
How does edge retention compare to V2?
 
should be close... should be a bit easier to sharpen, and take a slightly finer edge too
 
I'll be in line for one but the shopping cart system still doesn't have my country listed for a shipping quote.

I mentioned earlier about the cross section...are the new ones as thin BTE as the older ones? The choil/heel shots of the new ones give a beefier impression, but that could be optical illusion.
