Knifewear has listed a few Munetoshi migaki knives, no pictures yet. That's at least three new Munetoshi retailers this year, makes me wonder how much longer JNS will stock them.

Interesting... if they're comparable performers to the JNS versions, the price is super tempting. Hope they post pics and stats soon.
they have probably dealt with dumb asses that have done just that and complained about it.Its funny that they feel like they have to tell the buyer not to put a $1250 knife into the dishwasher. Don't get me wrong, i dont blame them for covering their basis.
But Mune Honyaki (definitely recommendable) still only in JNS ...
For now.
50mm height, 200 grams.

Can we get ma_sha1 to add at least 15mm to this for me?

I love this piece, I just wish Black Lotus didn’t use a fancy swastika as their logo...
Oh didn't even notice...
It’s one of those once u see it things... I’m sure it’s not intentional, I showed one to my wife and she’s like “why is there a swastika on it” and now I can’t unsee it.
Google "lotus flower silhouette"
Looks like a simplified version to stamp on knives.
Or maybe my eyes aren't woke.

Its a Buddhist motif representing "well-being" that the Nazi's co-opted for their evil purposes.
Those bastards ruined everything they touched.
I know this, in the western world it was kinda equivalent to a shamrock I guess. My grandma was showing me a card she and my grandpa sent each other and it had a bunch of cherubs on it holding swastikas. I gave the *** Treatment and she said swastikas used to be used by different people for things like that.
Except for cars and highways.... but ya they really sucked right?
I thought black lotus has a really neat symbol, but now I can’t unsee it, that was my point. Wasn’t trying to be all “saying merry Christmas is offensive” woke about it. Just from a design perspective it’s got the basic structure of a swastika
So does the addition symbol.
Lol okay so I’m just jagging around with this, but I drew it without the middle parts of the petals so those of if u can’t see it. But a swastika is just an x with lines coming off the tip at ~90 degree angle all in the same direction.
So for your consideration:

Its a bit of a stretch.
Yeah, I’d say you really, really have to want to see it, to make the leap.
Please, please stop. You all realize that many people end up here when researching makers? Associating a maker in any way with one of the most heinous government regimes in history is totally inappropriate. And that’s exactly what you’re doing.
Not sure how you got that out of the symbol without looking hard for it, but to each their own. Didn't even consider it.

I don’t really think that’s what is happening. He said his wife saw it, now HE sees it. Period.

This whole thing is stupid. Their symbol is not a nazi swastika. If you actually see that and propagate that, then you are a ****ing idiot.
Damn. Let's back the truck up.
A relatively benign thread all of a sudden gets reported by everyone on here. I look in and a clusterf**k has broken out.
Southpaw, your wife sees something nobody else sees and you share that. OK. It's not a flattering observation but OK. But then you had to explain it. And then you had to provide pictures. Proving that the maker is part of some secret sect bent on world domination. Could have done without that.
Now I've got to moderate. A quick mention that perhaps this was not appropriate? Wholesale pruning? Shut it down?
It's a worthwhile thread that only turned to crap on the last few posts. Hopefully everyone can "un-see" the mess and I can leave it as such.
Twigg was a little harsh but that part is important.
