Speaking of which, it's both tiny AND even around the entire blade....Look at how the part of the ura they finished on the stones is mirror polished...
:crazy: That is truly a work of art, we need details as I do not recognize the kanji.
Let's see....does one actually use a knife like that? I have 35 or so of those so I just want to know...
Theory, I was part serious about the using question. I had no intention of being a collector. I have two Suisin Doi's, 300 and 270, number 00, and 65, (though 11 is a good number too) but I hesitate to use the 270 very often because I know I cannot quite duplicate the kasumi finish when it is time to do serious sharpening. I think I need to overcome this because the 270 is the most perfect knife I have ever used and yet it sits on the wall most of the time. The mentality is interesting but your comment and bieniek's comment are helpful -- it's time to use these knives.
