This is the only place I have seen these lately. Almost double the price as most retailors, but I suppose it depends on how bad you want one. You have to contact them to see if they ship it to you. I am pretty sure they do ship to the USA. Not sure on the total cost. Hope this helps.
Takamura 210mm Chromax
Takamura 210mm Chromax
Thank you. I did look into it. But price 2x.
I emailed Takamura to see if they still produce these a little while back, but never received a response. Not sure when these will be back in stock anywhere. Odd, as I see the santoku and the petty available other places.
probably have your heart set on the gyuto, but I actually like the santoku better given the extra heel height.
Or maybe i should try, thanks @Heckel7302

Speaking of chromax I've seen around a chromax Santoku from Ikeda, wonder if anyone have tried it, can't find any infos. It's not a bargain like takamura one (if you can find it
)
)There is a couple of knives in chromax steel from Hitohira brand. At least a 180mm gyuto and a santoku.
Chromax is the same as VS1/V-GIN1 ?

I think it’s most similar to SKD, but could be wrong.
there's a chromax santoku on the bay but it's $230
Thank you but want to try chromax. I used to have the migaki

No it is not, I have both and can confirm. Kagekiyo santoku has a meh feel to it and Takamura is SaF.
I wonder whats the different between the black and brown in term of the curve of tips
It seems brown more curve than the black. Meaning brown more pointy and the black more bulky?
I believe brown more thinner than black?
