    Name your top three favourite smiths.

    I’ll bite: TFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF AS Y. Tanaka AS Togashi B1/W1 Why? Board feel, stone feel/sharpenability (exceedingly hard/tactile/responsive), and end product catered toward high end fit and finish or at least in case of TF, a honyaki experience in a SS clad rustic body.
