I can imagine!The blade looks nice on pictures but it looks nicer in person.

The core on this one is Wolfram Special. The cores on my other Lucids are Sheffcut and 26c3. I wanted to try different steels, so I intentionally bought knives with different steels. I haven't sharpened any of them and tbh, these amateur hands cannot tell the difference so far. But to be fair, I haven't used them a whole lot as I've got too many knives on rotation right nowWhat's the core steel? If you have more than one type of core steel, which is your favorite? Enjoy!
I'm actually getting one of those They quietly did a collab recently and I should be getting it in a couple weeks or so.Simon Mailzaki?

My first proper cleaver, Kisuke Manaka Blue #2 Cleaver. Just in time for ARM (April Rectangle Month)
Thanks @Alpine.knifeworks for selling/shipping.
Hoping that this prevents me buying that Watanabe Cleaver with the hidious coloured handle.
Awesome, these Tetsujin's are really good value for money in my book.Recently picked up a Tetsujin Blue#2 Kasumi Kiritsuke Gyuto 240mm from another member of the forum at a screaming deal. Been wanting one for a while and when I saw it I just had to grab it. Taihei Rosewood handle with a beautiful cream colored buffalo horn ferrule, absolutely beautiful in my opinion.

I'll keep this in mind, thanks!Awesome, these Tetsujin's are really good value for money in my book.
Don't be put off if it seems a little draggy at first, it tends to go away once you build up a patina on the cladding.
Stupidly thin they ghost through everything but I find them to be carrot magnetsAwesome, these Tetsujin's are really good value for money in my book.

OOTB it was just about a zero bevel. (After a couple of quick test cuts, I looked with a 12 X loupe, and I couldnāt find any trace of a secondary.) Once back and forth on each side with a BBW gave me a very nice edge. Iāll know more after using it awhile.@Seemore I was looking at one of these in the larger version. What do you think of it? I heard the OOTB edge was not good, but sharpened up nicely. Crap fit and finish is expected at the price, but looks like it could be fun for learning projects like rounding choil, spine, etc.
Edit: KasumiJLA posted about this knife in another thread recently.
Thanks to @jaydee for helping me find this one. 237g with stock handle, 186g with the new ho handle.
