Fujiwara 240mm FKH Hardness: HRC 60
and
Masamoto KS Wa-Guyto Hardness: HRC 62
In theoretical they are different in hardness 60 and 62 that means Masamoto KS is sharper.
But.. in practical Do they are different in sharpness???
Think you've got some issues here...Masamoto is harder, not sharper. The HRc refers to hardness not Sharpness.
Stereo Pete has this one right the KS while hold a steeper edge longer than the FKH, but it will take you longer to get it there and it is more expensive and a lot less forgiving.
Again for everyone who reads this considering buying a j-knife for a first time, sharpening a knife is what makes it sharp. Learn to sharpen and you can maintain/improve on the edge of the knife that comes out of the box.
