Originally purchased from Millertime1111 to compare to my KU version.

I ended up preferring the KU version so this one is going back into the wild. It did not have much of an edge on it when I received it and I put an edge on it. Was recently touched up with a Naniwa Pro 3000 and stropped on denim.

So my KU is heavier by about 20 grams and of course a bit thicker so it has better food release. The profile itself is basically the same as the Migaki here but I like a heavier/substantial blade personally. To be fair though I have been constantly working on my KU to remove the hollow grind and have removed the KU so it doesn't really look like a KU Tanaka Kyuzo at all any more.
