Ugh, another knife ruined by this silly trend of overcompensating with ever taller knives... :rolleyes:
Are people cutting with gauntlets on that they need 55 mm height for clearance?

But I have a lot to overcompensate for. That's why I like Sakai 270's, because I'm only man enough for a 255mm knife.

"Suit You Sir" Are you sure this isn't more appropriate. The Little Pecker as Robert DeNiro might call it.

Well Denkas retail for around $900 now if not more (if you can even find them instock)
Direct Isamitsu AS is I believe $600 +shipping with maybe 4 month wait.
Isamitsu is looking like a bargain and the grinds look awesome.

Not the first retailer to offer Isamitsu but first with a ludicrously high price tag.

I guess either you have not read my post, you cannot read or you are ludicrously bad in even the most basic of mathematics.

Edit: sorry if this was a little harsh but one cannot claim a distributor has ridiculous prices when all they do is pay taxes and customs.
I have never bought from Karasu but their prives are super fair.

And well, i hope it goes without saying that for people from US to order in europe of course you will pay that 28% VAT+customs too..

All the best
Jens

You seem to forget that for an import into europe it is (~600$+shipping)*1.28 (import tax 20% and customs 8%). To me it looks like a bargain (for europeans only of course) considering you do not have to wait.

Feel bad for y’all over there. Point was cost for a KU blade. My Anryu AS 240 KU at 260 US is a great performer.

No I didn't read your post before I posted. If I'm spending that much and there is the opportunity to save a bit of money and customise, I would always order direct. For example I really dislike the Isamitsu hammer marks. That would be the first change.

I haven’t seen their AS anywhere else, but maybe I missed it. Seems like everyone just had their white steel. Agree that their knives are pretty pricey, but I haven’t had the pleasure of using one.
