Measurements?
205 x 86. In sheffcut steel. Honyaki S-grind
What was the price? Any pictures?
I can't see from his website.
Still one shinogi and 3 convex left, given the how popular Hitohira Tanaka and Konosuke are I'd expect them already gone now, anyone one shinogi for me.
I would love to buy the full convex but im holding back for Hado blue 1 dammy. Hopefully I don’t strike out and snag at least 1 Y. Tanaka blue 1. If I do miss all 3 knives then I’ll take the big L and keep telling myself that they aren’t for me.
Looks like it’s taken down now. It’s was a rose damascus 250mm with an ironwood handle for €2,200. It was magnificent

Actually, I did make some updates. Not just copied, but either way there will be variance between blades. Hope those who received knives are happy

Looks like a kasumi version of those extra tall Dama Nakagawa Blue 1s they have over at Chef's Edge
Those looks really good, anyone have experience with Nakagawa's blue 1? How they compare to others like Tanaka?
Neat Gingas on Blueway, 240mm stainless, coke bottle handle, extra hardness.

Long story short I was talking to Bernal last night about Tanaka and nakagawa and they said nakagawas blue feels a little harder (to them) vs Tanaka and they say have great sharpen ability and edge formation. I know they always publish nakagawa blue 1 around 62-63 while Tanaka is 65 (at least for konosuke). Wondering how true all that info is
Don't know about Nakagawa Blue 1, but I would say the Blue 2, by proxy*, seem to be fantastic. Easy to sharpen, holds a good edge and tough (been abused cutting things it shouldn't).
* I say by proxy, as my experience is with the Kono MM - forged by Ms Mori while she was apparently at Shiraki/Nakagawa Hamono. As a result, I would assume, but do not know for certain, that Nakagawa taught her the heat treatment and it would be same as he would do.

If I didn't already have a nakagawa coming in, in the shape of a tadokoro I'd definitely buy that from zahocho. Love the full kasumi and extra height.
Im actually thinking getting a gyuto from him too.
Those look gooooood. Not sure it’s worth the price premium though, could just buy a regular one and get it rehandled…
I'm not sure you'd be coming out ahead. Based on my knowledge of wa-rehandling, and considering how much more involved western re-handles are, I can imagine at best you'd break even.
I was thinking I’d break even but with the flexibility to choose the material (maybe even something nicer than micarta) and tweak the shape a bit. But I agree, it’s not overpriced for what it is.
Yeah, I agree they are expensive, but they are the higher RC and look to have more refined bolster/choil/spine polish than the cheaper ones they offer. If you started with a nicer Ginga like the Gesshin and got it rehandled, the price would be pretty similar I imagine.
Love my Nakagawa Blue 1. So easy to sharpen and holds egde really good. I feel like the nakagawa is softer comparing to tanaka’s blue 1.

I love Yoshi but something about their current Hatsukokoro gyutos doesn't do it for me.
I might grab this Kono Yoshi though

Thick knives save lives
Damascus cu-mai with nitro-v core. A good bit more expensive than their regular offerings tho

Won’t regret it, also tosho skd KU yoshis are on another level imo
Looks like Piercing Knives has some Takadas back in stock:
Takada No Hamono Suiboku Blue #2 240mm Gyuto
Takada No Hamono Suiboku Blue #2 210mm Gyuto
Like the last time they got some in, these appear to be the Tsubaya version with different kanji on the right side. I have both White #1 and Ginsan gyutos from Tsubaya, and they seem every bit as good as the Takada-branded ones.

Also, it looks very similar to Migoto w1,profile and specs vise, but considering people who made it it's no surprise. There's only one way to find out....
