Got this new with fine finish service in November 2022. Used and sharpened once. Patina removed.

Overall it’s very similar to a midweight TF Denka with nice grind and some differences here and there (wabi sabi on the handle is similar though). The steel feels a little harder on the stone but I might be wrong. The edge retention is similar to Denka’s from my 1 month of use.

Asking for $650 shipped in the US. Drop to $630 $600.

242 mm * 54 mm
257 gram
Spine is 3.3 thick above the heel, 2.4 mm in the middle, and 1.4 mm at 1 cm from the tip.

600 bucks is a steal (no pun intended) for a gorgeous knife that is every bit as good as a Denka.

Someone buy this now, otherwise I may have to get this even though I have one on the way just because it us too outrageous to leave it on BST.
