I have a blue and a ginsan in 240. After a year or so, I’ve really learnt to appreciate what a good blade this line is. Fit and finish is amazing, grind is fantastic (after you thin it out to your preference) it’s decently choppy Ootb, but the wide bevel (deceptively curved) allows you to easily turn it into as thin as your personal needs need it to be. ... and the kanji is bangin. ... hope you find it bud.

Thanks! Don’t talk it up! I’ll have to pay more!
