Victorinox has two flexibles, one of them is very narrow. You must be having the other one. I have tried flexs from Victorinox, Masahiro, Global, Mac. they all have different profiles. By far the most flexible, three times more than the rest, is the Victorinox

By the way there are also Ryusen Blazen stones, or at least there used to be

Thanks to everyone who posted, my curiosity is finally satisfied 🤩

I have one blazen (old batch) with friction fit saya and two bui Rei zen (a batch similar with the photos on epicurean edge ) with magnetic saya. You can tell at many points how the bui rei zen is improved. I can’t ask more than the bui rei zen/blazen version. The knives are perfect in every aspect.

Interesting question. I was always wondering how sg2 knives compare, edge retention, sharpen ability etc

All is great [emoji106] Gratitude and wishes to you all, The best are coming! Correction: The awesome knives were Yoshihiro, not Sakai Takayuki

Finally I got a job in a kitchen that every chef has his/hers own knives. Victorinox being the worse and only European brand ([emoji106]), and the rest are Japanese. Some lines of Masahiro that I haven’t seen anywhere on the internet, just in Norway(very nice knives), Shuns, Macs, McCusta, I...

+1 All this thinning must had been a beach. How long did it took you and what stones, sandpapers

it is stailess, 58-59, not too hard, but can take all the abuse

Don’t get German knives. Get Japanese. Get the Masahiro MV Honyaki(nothing to do with a honyaki). The 21cm runs a little longer, nice height, perfect balance, nice plastic handle. I have sharpened it side by side with the Misono Togiharu 440, and used them for a while cutting the same things...

The Ryusen super gold, is a cheaper alternative to blazen and takamura pro, without saya, and I think it will be more substantial than the takamura red handle. For your needs, I suggest a 21cm knife. http://www.knivesandstones.com/super-gold/

How come the Tesshu, is half price compared to Kagakiyo and to Sakura?

Yep, honyaki is too good to be true. Uber for any kitchen ;-)
