I have missed every JNS drop, ever, each and every time. On the off chance that someone gets, and decides they'd part with, a Kato K-tip, please let me know.

Please do. I'd love to try one out. I'll pay retail but please someone don't jack up the price 20% or something!Man I had it in the cart and then said I dont want it...next time I ll take it and flip it
No for the vat killing the action inside EU...
Btw I have WTT gyuto WH kato...
I have a Kato WH, which is great and a reason I want to try the K-tip which in theory should be more balance forward and heavier overall comparatively.
I think they got pricey, right? $1700 or something? Next time, grab one for me!

US buyer wouldn't pay tax so ~$1450. Still too much IMO unless its something you have to have in the collection.

To be honest I don't think you'll find the k-tip more heavy and balanced forward than a normal gyutoPlease do. I'd love to try one out. I'll pay retail but please someone don't jack up the price 20% or something!

Yes......Isn't that one of the traits of K-tips, that because they have less spine they are less weight forward?

Mine turned out to be 236 gm, 55 mm heel height. 250 mm heel to tip
It will be interesting to learn about the specs of the other lucky few who caught one
It is gorgeous. Has soul

I have no idea, but that makes sense! I was just speaking from experience, mine are definitely not heavier than the normal gyuto
Friendly WTB bump here, with hopes in the New Year!

You’re probably talking about a different Kato

Yoshiaki Fujiwara Or Kiyoshi Kato K-tip?
Thanks for the note, appreciate it. As noted by others, there are a few knife makers out there with the name Kato. The one I'm looking for is from Yoshiaki Fujiwara Or Kiyoshi Kato as @RockyBasel pointed out. The other, far more common maker is Hiroshi Kato. There is a big difference in price between the knives from the two makers, with the one I'm look for going for prices in the $1k and up range (these days, sadly) and typically available from only a few vendors (like Japanese Natural Stones) and Hiroshi Kato going for the $150-$400 range and available at quite a few online and brick and motar retailers. Hope that is helpful.
