I tried the “old” profile, but wanted that more because of form over function.
So I was kind of curious, if anybody had tried these new ones.
If not, I just ordered one so I’ll be able to give a reasonable feedback soon
2023 Mazaki bangs. Very thick spine, good convex, quite thin behind the edge (much more so than my 2022 migaki) and very aggressive distal taper. Good flatish spot on rear but not too flat. Hard steel, reactive cladding. The 240 has a 5mm neck which brings joy, mine is 226 g with a Kochi handle. Heft and comfort of a workhorse but laser tip and thin BTE to cut like something thinner, my favorite combo.

You'll be pleased. I just used mine last night with smiles.
