This is Shinichi's light version of his Kintaro-Ame Cleaver. I got it direct from Japan a few months ago but I just have too many knives right now (including 6 other Wats). Andrew sharpened it up and put a nice kasumi finish on it. It's never seen the cutting board. One of you will enjoy it I am sure. I've got over $700 into it but happy to let it go for $625 shipped CONUS
The original specs are still up on Watanabe's site (it's the one on the top)
