Speaking of performance over bling... finally got hold of a 245mm x 55mm standard 145sc kasumi with burnt oak handle from Bryan. The stars aligned and he sold me one off IG. Now officially a member of the Sanmai Mafia. Thank you Mr. Raquin

Thanks for sharing!E bit of rant here, so I bought the Sakai Takayuki Sanpou, a new line made in house by their young crafts man in Aoki Hamono, sounds good. Now I got the knife and did some sharpening and cutting I regret buying it, I don't like it. Usually when I regret buying a knife it is "well it it nice but my other knives is as good or better" or "hmm pretty average for the price with no stand out points", but this is just bad.
Let's get some of the good off first, for a Sakai knife, it got very nice thick spine and good distal taper, well weighted and really nice mono handle, the French profile is to my liking, the FF is good for the price I paid at DC, steel is quite wear resistant for White 2, kind reminds me of Kawachi Kunisuke, and the cladding got some nice activity going on. Then it is down hill from there, first this is the dullest Japanese knife i've got, that's including intentionally unsharpened single bevels, I can run my thumb across the whole edge length without feeling anything, and I got cut by a bench scraper once. The knife doesn't want to bite into half of a onion that I left in fridge from yesterday. Well maybe after sharpening it is better I thought, so I went on sharpening, it takes me almost 10 minutes to raise a burr on one side, in white steel, I spent less on Magnacut. The steel is not the problem, the edge bevel is just uneven and very thick at the bottom half, the front got a burr in the first half of the sharpening and the back half just stays perfectly smooth. After sharpening the new bevel is very visable, a testement to how thich it was. Still it cuts more akin to a Yo Deba than a gyuto, the Mikami Wa Bocho fish knife actually cuts better. Very disappointing, I want to put it on BST immideatly but doubt anyone would want it without serious thinning... Anyway if you want pay $199 for a project knife DM me...

Your life will change after that Wakui. Bon voyageWakui workhorse 240 from JNS.
Wanted to try a „real“ workhorse or rather understand what people mean but this term and couldn’t resist when it was on sale.
Second is a Simon Maillet from BST. Thought I’m good with knives for now but this had my dream specs with heel height over 6cm. Can’t wait to put a new edge on it and polish the wrought iron up.
Send it to Taylor Edgington in Reno. He can probably fix it up for not a lot of money.E bit of rant here, so I bought the Sakai Takayuki Sanpou, a new line made in house by their young crafts man in Aoki Hamono, sounds good.

Search for Taylor EDGERTON instead. That will increase the chances to find him!Send it to Taylor Edgington in Reno. He can probably fix it up for not a lot of money.
Lovely profile! I like the low bevel look.Iracil Knives from here in southern Germany that is laying at home and arrived while I am out with the family. Just got her today but out at the Zoo. I don't even know size yet but between 230-240. It's 52100. Can't wait to play with her tonight.
