Bought this one for cheap without seeing it in person as it was very cheap and seemed like it could make a nice gift to someone new to Japanese knives.
It feels ok on the stones and sharpens easily enough. Takes a decent edge. Don't have much experience with stainless steel, so I have no idea what kind it is.
It has some distal taper and is pretty thin behind the edge.
Goes through onion and potato no problem.
If anyone can identify the brand I would like to know.

Not sure about the asymmetrical convex grind. Waiting for it to arrive but the blade had a simple, no fuss ebony handle installed.

Ikeda blue mizu-honyaki according to the seller on BTS. 240mm gyuto with a right handed preference due to the grind.

Should arrive Thursday!

That's one classy looking knife there.
 
Just bought a new Genkai yanagi from James of Knives and stones. Asked him to find me one thats not a mt fuji hamon. Not really into them. But what did i end up getting? A mt fuji hamon lol. But with a different polish. Accdg to James it was polished traditionally. Next to it is my other yanagi which i polished. Etched and played around with some nugui

Traditional polish seems kinda dull to me, but there's the most detail in it. If you just like polish it with a cloth it brightens up real fast, but that's not the point of it. The point of it is almost as if you snap the knife to see the grain, kinda like that.

Yeah the hamon is not as loud as to when you etch it but i like the subtlety of it. Just a good contrast to my other honyakis
 
The dull matte finish has kinda grown on me more. its almost more naked. mirror polished is like makeup. but for a user-knife, i'd mirror polish for friction reasons (up to a certain point)
 
Here’s something a little different for me. Gesshin Uraku Deba 180. Lefty! Now just need to figure out how to use it.

Will have to take better photos than the iPhone and perhap polish up the knives.

Ikeda Blue 2 240mm mizu honyaki. Sharpener not declared. Ebony handle. Unsigned (no chisel kanji) ... not sure whether that means we’ll never know for sure re provenance

Here are two Watanabe blades that I've picked up while I was in Japan a few weeks ago. Saved me a bit of cash in delivery, taxes and VAT, but still not a cheap purchase.
These do not have the best finish on the handles, but their blades are awesome. The profile and sharpness is great and one of the best I've used. Cuts through carrots effortlessly!

Together with custom made 265mm Gyuto Honyaki this takes up my Watanabe collection to 3 knives. A good start I would say.
