He may have an gesshin ginga in that size. Im not sure.
I believe that it was a little thicker through the spine...this is a personal preference though.

I'd be amazed if someone could tell the difference between an HD, suisin, Gesshin and IT by running them on a stone. They all take great edges and they all hold edges very well. They aren't like fileting knives but they are all super thin and fairly flexible. If I had to choose one, I might take the Suisin for a bit more wear resistance or the Gesshin for a little more toughness. In my hands, the HD is a little like a Gesshin with less stain resistance.Have heard that the Ginga steel feel "less alive" on the stones compared to the HD...
I'm sure someone on here can make you a really nice custom saya.
