Hi. The link you posted is for a different knife. Here's the one that I got (Kikumori x Nakagawa, w1). The Kikumori you posted is a beast, 60mm at the heal!
Thank you. Probably will pick up the blue1 oneHere's the choil shot before I sharpened/thinned the knife. Josh was very helpful finding one with a neutral grind, some are righty biased.

Curious about the one you posted—highly unusual to see a 240 Japanese made gyuto in that height.I saw that, too. Ooops
The white 1 KU line by Sakai Kikumori that very closely resembled the knives by Matusbara were about that size. I checked one out in store and it absolutely wouldnt surprise me if they were from the same maker.Curious about the one you posted—highly unusual to see a 240 Japanese made gyuto in that height.

The grind on the Matsubara White#2 knives that I've seen have not been that consistent along the edge. The white2 is more inconsistent than the blue or ginsan grinds. One of mine arrived really thick. Also quite possible the heel is just different than the midblade. Anyways, all of mine were close to 50/50 grinds.
this looks great!! how is the grind?Picked up the 240, white 1 version a couple months ago—prefer w1 to b1; also wanted the ho wood handle over burnt chestnut.
Been enjoying the knife a lot, lovely profile; one of my faves these days after a 'lil thinning and sharpening; steel is wonderful; nimble, nice in hand feel.
