Arrivwd today. And eff me if I didn't have to work late and not get home until 9pm.
So no full review but a few quicks thoughts.
Weight 213g. That's 17g heavier than my waiku 180m nakiri.
Profile the belly is flatter much longer than the waiku and my watanabe when you consider the profile as a total percentage of the blade. Maybe some lousy pictures will help.
Finally it came with (as promised) a lousy handle. The machi also has some weird scratches.
Finally the spine has a weird discoloration I have not seen before.
Now all that being said, the Damascus pattern is stunning. I've stayed away from Damascus for the most part as I don't think my stone skills are up to par yet...but I regret nothing!
Morw to follow.
