It's not altogether clear. Their IG posts say Blue Paper not Blue Super. I'm going to assume it's B#2 unless it explicitly says Aogami Super so I think Bernal may have it wrong.
Hate to do this to you- already bought one and this batch is excellent. Much thinner BTE, still around 210g, and the grind is really nice in general
Very cool! Never used an AS… tempting!
That seller got absolutely wasted celebrating Sunday night lol
I think they only have three. @Luminaire and I each bought one. This is probably the only one left. Love mine so far.
What are people using these for? With a grind like this you gonna get the ultimate wedgy.
Splitting logs should be fine?
Thats a first. Curiously the seller posts images of a tape measure against the box. Maybe the bidders were pondering that while pressing the bid button.
I want to say it is a Ryo deba, but even for that the grind kind hmmmm…. Maybe an way oversized Garasuki
Years ago used to get Japan woodworker
It's a "deba". Not sure why someone would want a deba shaped like a gyuto, but there you are.
I thought Deba's were single bevel. This Takeda miorishi's are double beveled. Sounds like a solution looking for an application. Looking at the grind they have to be suboptimal gyutos.
Is it the same knife ? My screen shot from the link looks a little different....or is it just me?
Different knife, same line.
Takeda is a rule breaker, didn't you know?
I’m unfamiliar with the kanji, who is the maker?
Ashi
Worse looking Hamon line I've ever seen from Hiroshi Ashi. Can't believe it's one of his.
I was excited because I thought these were from Doi, whose work I like a lot.
