Bought this one and a 240 version and I’m keeping the 240. Stock handle was a ginormous ebony handle that threw the balance point back to the ferrule. That handle now sits comfortably on my 270 kaeru workhorse suji that now weighs 344g, just to illustrate the point.
To solve this, I swapped on a burnt JNS stock handle that I had laying around. Muuuuuch better.
These blades have so much core steel showing through they are like razor blades. Aside from the grind marks, fit and finish is actually pretty good.
220x52, 177g
$175 CONUS
