I have the 240 and 270 mm WHs. 240 off BST and 270 at the new price. I usually give them a positive recommendation with a couple caveats. I would say they’re worth retail if you like really heavy knives and like to work on a knife, as in thin and modify. Even though they’re modeled after Katos, they’re a very different knife.
They cut pretty well OOTB and are really fun to use, but the midsection of the grind where the shoulders are is too thick for big carrots, apples, etc without cracking. Also, they’ll start to get too thick BTE after a few sharpenings without thinning.
I took over 10 grams off my 240 WH, raising the shoulders and thinning out the tip mostly. I’ve taken 6 grams off my 270 WH, will shave off a few more. Once you get them the way you like though, they’re crazy good.
Well done grind (minimal to no low spots), hand laminated, harder HT (very crisp and aggressive, great edge retention for white steel).
I’ve posted this vid a couple times, but it shows how good these can be with some work.
