Vlad,

Is this the knife you gave up in the trade?

[Vladimir]

Yes

Vlad! Sorry for the confusion!

never heard that it was 3mm.

I should have said; my sujihiki is not a Kato! I was referring to the general style. You are right. It would be in theme for a Kato-workhorse suji to be thicker than average... Referencing back to JNS, a spine width of
3.7mm is a better reference. I didn't see 5mm though?

I am sure it will be a very good suji Kato

You got me thinking philosophically. What makes a Kato a Kato? As in the Ship of Theseus or
grandfather's axe paradox. You're right! I think it could be turned into a nice, stiff suji... but would it still be a Kato?

everything else is in good condition

Glad to hear it. That makes it more tempting as a new-year restoration project.

Sorry chaps, we’ve only just joined the dots on this scum bag scouting our Tennen Toishi Group on FB. His sorry ass has been kicked to the kerb out of our group.

Nice one Otto, pop right between the eyes.
