Finally used the myojin Sg2. grind Is very nice and cut through onions and other veggies like a laser. Hadn’t used sg2 steel previously but I am definitely a fan. Curious how it will sharpen up down the road.
The Okubo propaganda will continue until morale improves (and I leave town again tomorrow so I'll shut up). Sharpened on a BBW coarse/fine progression and it is super rewarding.

Taking couple of shots after work since I can’t sleep. Manaka Blue 1 
How does it cut?
Manaka B1 are awesome! This has to be one of my Non-Sakai Favorite.
No Wabi Sabi here
Tadokoro so clean!
That 240 on Sugi is looking like a good buy
Actually it is. Even comes with a upgraded handle. The handle on mine was purchased from Sugi(Jobone)That 240 on Sugi is looking like a good buy
What are the grinds like on these? (they look pretty clean here)
They are all bit different. Tetsujin is what you'd expect from Myojin, subtlety convexed full grind. Tangetsu is symmetrical wide bevel with concave bevel, very thin. Tadokoro is asymmetrical, right side is gently convex with faux wide bevel while left side is flat true wide bevel.
Hatsukokoro Yoake 240. I keep hearing folks talking about the (lack of) fit and finish but I must have gotten a great example from Tokushu (thanks zach for picking a good one!). this one is also a monster lol coming in at over 8mm at the base and tapering down from
there. Honestly I love that it’s Blue 1 and the size, weight and thickness just makes it feel like a tank.

My client's house works better for my nerdy knife photos
This is the newer batch of the Yoake. The fit and finish is nicer and cleaner than the first ones that had been released. Solid pick up. I love using both of my Yoake’s at work.Hatsukokoro Yoake 240.

Lew Griffin integral Western gyuto in 52100 with walnut burl handle, 232 / 56.5 / 252g:
Spa day for two knife handles. They were burnt, sanded, and oiled. Before and after:
Toyoma nakiri and Mazaki petty

That maz handle looks way better after the burn.
