interesting… not familiar with the knife style. is this supposed to be used as a deba, or a general use thick knife?

More like a double beveled mioroshi Deba, however the grind is really well done it could be use as an all purpose knife. Here’s the grind on mine.

Kind of classic fish knife for japanese home kitchen. Excellent heat treatment, raw finish with hammer marks and scratches. Cool knife, a piece of knife history. Glad I've got some of his knives.

Height and length looked great, handle looks good too but it was a little on the light side for my tastes. I’ll wait for a review from the lucky buyer!

Not surprised. If there is even a possibility of being an FM sequel, or spinoff…it’s gone lol
It looked stamped to me so I didn’t pull the trigger.

Yep. Although it seems like Tetsujin’s stick around for quite a long time - why is that?
When I convert that price on the WT from DKK to CAD, it's an awful lot of money for a W#2 blade (even with taxes taken out).
Wonder who the smith/sharpener are.

foodgear.dk is a bit overpriced in general.

Yeah. That shop is notorious for having steep prices across the line-ups.
Myojin confirmed it wasn't his work in a Facebook comment.

Yeah, Myojin is named differently on Kono blades. I have random conjectures about both smith and sharpener, but since I have nothing solid not going to say anything
Anyone have a video of how they do handles like the blue one Will Newham did for his upcoming newsletter. I’m not looking to buy, but it seems like a really well-crafted piece of work.
Is it just dyed wood? Kind of looks like a resin of some sort on the off color part. I really don’t know what I’m talking about.

Is there like a mold he uses? Or is it a block of resin he shapes?
Typically you fill the void with your two part material and then shape it after it's fully cured as if it were an all wood handle (with some variations to how the finishing is done).
Stabilized in a vacuum with colored resin then shaped like regular wood.

These are hybrid resin stabilized wood. Usually it uses uneven pieces like burl ends or ones with large voids. The wood is infused with colored resin, and then the piece is put in a mold and epoxy resin is used to make up the missing large voids. After the piece is cured, then it's shaped just like a normal wood block.
