Can you get a better pic of the choil? That one you posted gives the impression it has more of a lefthanded grind.
Most definitely - thanks again for your perspectives along the journey.209g is a little light, especially considering the urushi handle. But nice knife nonetheless. Give it a go and let us know how you feel about it.
I feel a carrot comparo coming.Most definitely - thanks again for your perspectives along the journey.
September has been a knife month:
2 Shigs - Kitaeji and Kasumi
1 Kato
1 Denka
Quite a haul - no regrets whatsoever!
Time to clear out some knives though, and hit BST!
Second coming of JML. Buyer of unicorns.Most definitely - thanks again for your perspectives along the journey.

as if the first coming was not enough..... but wait, what do you mean by second coming, how do you define second? What is second was actually first?, is coming the inverse of going?Second coming of JML. Buyer of unicorns.
Nice haul indeed.
Thanks for the support - could not have got some of these otherwise lSecond coming of JML. Buyer of unicorns.
Nice haul indeed.
My Kasumi costs like a dream at around 205 gems. It is delightful. Have not tried the Kitaeji yet, but will do so this week. Itโs made of unobtanium so seems to brazenly violate some laws of physicsStock Shig. Kasumi is a head turner but average cutter, the physics of low bevel style dictates that the edge approach angle being higher than average. However, Iโve not had kitaeji, very curious if the grind & the thickness behind edge is different than Kasumi?

True - blind cutting test is the only way - as long as I donโt nip anythingComon men, do not cut with emotion & allow placebo effect to affect you. We may need you to test these knives under clinical trial โdouble blindโ standard to know the truth
Somehow I don't think RockyBasel will "cut with emotion" regarding his unicorns the same way as you do, ma_sha1. Don't give him strange ideas. Just stop.Comon men, do not cut with emotion & allow placebo effect to affect you. We may need you to test these knives under clinical trial โdouble blindโ standard to know the truth

Yes he missed a target face, the goal was not to stick the arrow in the target anyway.Is it just me or the guy actually missed the target ?
The goal was meditation and finding oneโs true inner self - the point of focus and tension and breath control made for complete unison thereby abandoning the duality of existence for a single moment and attaining blissYes he missed a target face, the goal was not to stick the arrow in the target anyway.

She must have gotten a TF for XmasZen is on target in a TF thread, as you'll need to master Zen to come to grips with being happy with what you got ;-)
Your question contains the answer young paduanLooks like I am far far away from Zen land
Why put up a target if the whole point is not to hit it?
