Hey everyone! Sorry I was MIA when my turn came up - it was months ago at this point. Life just got a bit crazy with covid, 2 young kids, work, etc. Honestly I forgot I was even in this! Just reading through the thread and it looks like the Kato has been on quite the journey.

Thanks Kevin!

Can you still buy from the Australian site from the US? I they are in stock in AU but out of stuck in the US...

Did James get more in? I thought they were sold out...

Do you have the KU? You have a choil shot?

Anyone know when kns might get more?

Do you have a Yoshihiro Mazaki? Curious on the specs/measurements. I feel as though you don't see as many as you do from other vendors.

Wow, super cool move @tgfencer ! Wish I saw this one a little earlier, the Jiro pass was fun and would have loved to try this one. If anyone is in MA or southern NH, would love to meet up!

So unfortunately my kids brought home something from daycare and I was sick for the majority of the week I had the Jiro, so I didn’t get to put it to use as much as I would have liked to. That being said, I think I still got a pretty good feel for the knife. My first impression of it taking it...

This may be a little off topic, but what is meant by 'deep hardening' that has been mentioned in this thread?

Picked up the Jiro at the PO yesterday - arrived safe and sound in MA! I'm sick as a dog so I won't get to put it to use right away but looking forward to trying it out as soon as I can start cooking again.

Is it mono steel? I assumed it was san mai...

That is beautiful! Whats the core steel?

Absolutely beautiful! I really like this particular damascus. Some can look over the top, but I like how natural it looks on this if that makes sense.
