Beast mode.

Anybody with any reservations as to ginsanko should immediately shelve them. I opened up the edge on a Chosera 3k because it came with the classic Sakai bouncy factory edge. Then took it straight from there to the Maruoyama it is pictured on in the second photo.

Sweet Christmas.

Is that the plastic ferrule/handle?

First of all I am not a fan of hammer finishes but this looks very nice indeed.

How tall is it at the heel?

 

[zetieum]

Nope, it is horn. But generally, I would say, the handle may be the only thing that is not fantastic about this knife.

Just got these pair of nice 210mm gyutos from Tsubaya yesterday:

Prototype gyuto using VG10 with damascus clad, Shiraki's signature on the blades:

(which I imagine is pretty rare? :scratchhead

Highly recommend to checkout Tsubaya's site (Just a happy customer)

he he, I agree. I was lucky to go for Octagonal Keyaki upgrade when ordering my 240 Wat. gyuto. But I must admit that I almost did not do it as it is very pricey.

I think I pieced together that these are the only two in existence.

It's from ebay, but I believe it's the same vendor you were looking at. Just seemed easier to go through the bay

I'm not sure what that means. Is that a store in a city?

 

[tgfencer]

Neat hammered kurouchi. What's the height at the heel? Shiraki's blades tend to be run shorter in that dimension.
