I got this about a month ago and have used it for approximately 10 minutes (and lightly touched it up on a 3k stone). Right after I bought it, a Kochi nakiri came in stock at JKI and I picked that one up, too. I don't need two nakiri, so the Hitohira is up for sale. The Hitohira is an excellent cutter and has a spectacularly thin grind.
Specs:
Blade length = 165mm (it's billed as a 180, but that's the measurement from the handle to the end of the knife)
Blade height = 53mm
Weight = 165gr.
Price = $230 shipped CONUS (I paid $262 from Strata in Portland: Hitohira - Kikychiyo x Kyuzo - Blue #2 Kurouchi - 180mm Nakiri - Cherry Handle)
