The finish is magical. I just got the baby yanagi so after an hour with the knife I can at least say that the finish is as though the abrasives went two steps finer than what you would see on a shig. I only have shig gyutos to compare and make this statement, but it is clear what Maksim is talking about. The knife has a beautiful smooth satin finish. Any one else who received one of these have comments?

180-210 petty, 195-210 deba, 255-270 gyuto, 270-300 suji or yanagi. Those are all knives that I'd purchase if I had the money and I bet the same is true for a lot of other guys here.
That deba looks neat, sadly i don't eat enough fish to motivate one more deba.
I have a great idea on what you should get from Yoshihide, 240-255mm gyuto(s)... I know atleast one idiot in the north of Sweden who is tempted to pull the trigger on one of those.
