I've been wanting to try out skd steel. I read that yoshikane bit on a thicker side but how's 210 compared to kochi? Thank u!
 
Oh yea I meant how's yoshikane skd compared to kochi v2. :D

I've read that skd steel has good edge retention so been wanting to try it out but also read that it's bit thick (in 240). I really like my kochi and wanted to find out how yoshikane compares to it in 210 length or what to expect if I were to get one.
 
Unless I'm mistaken, and I often am, SKD=D2, good edge wear but not a great edge taker like V2.

I find the edge on my Yoshikanes to be pretty aggressive, my thumb could tell you more about it than I can and that was from a gentle brush when stored on the wall mount.
 
Sorry about rookie qs but..
I would assume that skd is harder or perhaps would take longer to sharpen as well?
Would aogami super steel be closer to v2? Or r2?
 
Your sharpening skill is far more likely to be the arbiter than the alloy.
 
In my opinion - Kochi > Yoshikane SKD, not by a lot and both are great knives. Yoshikane with the advantage in edge holding
