So I just got my Sukenari 270 Honyaki Gyuto today... and on the right side of the blade, about half way to the tip, I found this:
I haven't used the blade yet, just wiped some of the oil coating off with tissues.
I'm not 100% sure it is a crack, but when I run my finger over it, I can feel a ridge/bump/dent whatever you call it...
Compared to the other case of cracking, this is much smaller in comparison, but still a crack... Gonna email Koki about it as well since I got this from him.
Any thoughts/insight would be greatly appreciated.
