Is it any similar to famous AS series?
Yes it doe's look a lot better in the video than website, I thought as well. And it looks exactly what Salty described about the grind compared to AS. Still happy with AS considering what they used to cost. [emoji3] want a Honyaki now
Nice video Salty. Pleasant surprise to see your name pop up around here.
+1 when I first started getting into good knives I came across his blog and posts on KF. At that time it was unheard of to own that amount of very high end knives. There is a reason I own my Masamoto Honyaki. He may have moved on, but I never did. I think many people were influenced by his by his posts and videos, myself included.
No need to talk about him like he's gone?

Good point.
Salty, I'm sure I starded lusting for a Mizuno after watching one of your vids. It's still one of my favourite workhorse style knives, so thanks. :doublethumbsup:
And now I'm starting to think about Honyakis. Where is this going to end? :biggrin:
The thing about a honyaki is most people want that bad azz hamon look. Especially if you already have that style of knife. It's subtle with the Hiromoto.
I'm liking it. Great edge out of the box and very good retention. Handles everything from mirepoix to thin apple slices. Very comfortable and well balanced. I've been using it almost exclusively since I received it. Seems to lessen wrist fatigue. My right wrist is pretty messed up so I pay attention to how much pain I have at the end of the day.
It's getting a nice little patina.
