I'm very interested in Kato knives and have been emailing Maksim to try to get a couple answers about his workhorse line, but haven't gotten a response so thought I'd try my luck here. Was looking for answers to the following:
1) How does the Yoshiaki Fujiwara line differ from regular Kato knives if at all?
2) What is the cladding? Iron, softer carbon steel etc.
3) Is the listed weight of 270 grams correct on the 240? That's approaching heavy deba weight and seems a bit high especially as the 210 is listed at 183 grams. Adding nearly 100 grams for an extra inch of knife is odd
4) Is the steel white number 2?
If anyone knows the answer to any of these questions it would be much appreciated
