No 😢 ikeda yes, blue yes

Here is your chance!

Ikeda blue 2 honyaki

Lets start with something very easy.

Ikeda Yoshikazu Ao super is definitely king of all steels i ve ever tried Doi Ittsuo Ao 2 is really, really good Hinoura Shiro 2 and of course the famous mystery Shigefusa carbon steel

on your blade? because of the stamp.

good luck, Ao honyaki is pain in the @ss to polish.

Niolox

thicker than Mazaki, its not laser at all, much more WH behind the edge. And his blue 2 is IMHO the best blue 2 i've ever tried. Pretty hard, not easy to sharpen as Tanaka or Shiraki blue 2.

tip and the belly area had some extra meat, yeah, definitely need to thin it.

i found picture of the machi :)

the one i had actually have very nice WH-ish convex, 50/50 grind, with absolutely no distal taper. Sharp corners? Yes, in the machi area, spine etc. Yes another project knife but with amazing steel, nice high heel and good profile. As i said, amazing knife in this price range.

yep, i had one. Actually my favourite Sakai gyuto. Fit and finish is not the best, nothing rounded or polished. Profile is very good, handle is lil bit bigger but comfortable, grind is on the thicker side but i like it. But, the steel, definitely the best Ao2 san mai ever. It holds edge in pro...
