Thanks but 670€+shipping+tax is a bit heavy for a 210 Denka.

Have I got that right that the smith at teruyasu changed? Any idea how that afflicted performance?

There are a couple of smiths working at any given time at TF. I did notice shortly after he left that some of the production got a little chonky. Thicc grinds and heavy as a result. That may not be the case now 18 months later. Whatever the effect his sudden departure had on production its most likely resolved now.

Yeah the tax is what will kill most deals outside the EU.

My bad

Fujiwara Western Denka Gyuto 210mm

This is my number one gyuto at home, currently. The sharpness this knife is capable of and how incredibly long it stays sharp blows my mind. The first time I used it I was in love. The finger notch at the end of the blade is brilliance. If you put your first or middle finger there and grip the...
