The fit and finish on my KS is perfect. Spine and choil rounded, great OOTB edge, no complaints whatsoever
Really? The three I've handled all came with a slightly eased (not rounded) spines, no rounding or easing on the choil, and all of them had wheel scuffs on the blade face from sloppy factory sharpening. A far cry from the worst F&F I've seen, but still a bit lower quality than you'd expect for a knife at that price point.
 
What the heck are you going to do with 2 KS's :D
1 for each hand? :D

Read through this thread and checked my "240mm" KS Masamoto that I got from Koki awhile ago - this is my go-to knife when there is lots to cut, which does not happen frequently.
The spine and the choil are at least eased, spine could be considered "rounded" - about equal to the Konosuke HD from Jon. The blade finish is nicer on the HD but I used and sharpened the KS before I bought the HD.
