Is iT a good idea to let nakaya heiji make the knife to my own specs. For example make the knife a bit thinner. is there someone who Has a heiji gyuto direct from nakaya heiji and what did he found of the knife?

Not a long time ago Yamabushi got his Heiji knives . Might be interesting to you
Do you think it's a great idea to ask nakaya heiji to make the knife approximately 2 mm thin OR is it to thin for the knife?
Dont ask him that.
What's wrong with that? My Konosuke 240mm is 2.1mm at the thickest point and cuts very nicelyDont ask him that.

Oke
I'll just send him a mail and say to him and ask if he can make it a little bit thinner but not too thin just what he thinks is the best for the knife.
Thanks for all the info

If you are in the US probably should opt for Jon's offering. I doubt you'd save much from buying direct with saya, shipping, and
payment fee being added on top.
If you are out side the US like me, that's quite a different story. I have bought three directly, and been very pleased with them.
Why? He was perfectly happy to make me a 270mm that was 2mm at the shinogi, when I inquired last month, I just ran out of money due to some unexpected expenses and ended up not being able to. I think it would have cut great. Admittedly, it would have been thicker than 2mm at the spine.
Forgive my yen vs USD ignorance, master. A year or two ago when I first looked at my options, it wasn't that much of a difference
from US perspective. I do recall EdipisReks saying something along the same line not so long ago though.
Let's say if saya were about 4800 yen, payment fee, 5% payment fee, and USD vs yen at 75-80 yen, then we were looking at around 400USD.
payment fee?
26230 + 4800Y for the saya = 31030Y = $305 USD. if you tack on 5% that is $320 USD

Yes, your are correct, MASTER. But I did say if usd vs yen were at the rock bottom as when I first looked at options back a year or two ago.
