So I collected it yesterday and am really happy with the Rosewood handle and the Saya that are a fairly good match, particularly with the white highlights on the Saya matching the white spacers on the handle.
As to the blade, it is beautiful and the balance and weight feels great even for a noob like myself. As yet I haven't had time / an excuse to try to it properly however the first thing I tried it on was a pear (fitting with the Nashiji finish) and some other fruit for my kids. Wow, thanks to Arun / James' sharpening it is like a razor and I was truly impressed with how the edges of the cut fruit were so perfectly angled as a result!
Thanks again for everyone's advice on this, just what I was hoping for, now to resist becoming addicted to jknives!
