Spine shot from Joe
 
per Joe
hopefully he doesnt mind if I share.

Hi Matt, I noticed the title stated blade-only, so I changed it. These have handles. Looks like I missed changing the description of the 240s. These are 2023 profiles. Edge length of the 240s runs about 250. The 210 that I checked ran about 215

I’ll get a spine photo, take my pictures outside and rushed to get in before a storm

Thanks for the clarification!
 
I swear I'm not trying to beat this horse in to the ground, it's actually pertinent, but my Shindo's all have a hammered thumb groove like that on the left side of the blade. I thought it was a happy coincidence till I get another. I quite like it, hope Mazaki keeps that

I took a few shots of the 210 arrived yesterday (measures 220 actually they are on the long side) if can be useful. Tip is insanely thin, very well finished, balance is slightly forward the pinch. Didn't like the handles as well in photos, much better in hand they are bigger than it seems. Just extremely rough and dry, I immediately sanded and waxed as they should have been in the first place.

Woah...that tip is tempting me

first thing i thought too, my shindo bunka has the hammered thumb groove as well.
 
Migaki and KU gyuto seem to have different grinds. Nakiri may be different

Toyama aogami#2 gyuto 210mm vs Toyama kurouchi aogami#2 240mm gyuto
KU looks like symmetrical-ish wide bevel, migaki is asymmetrical full convex
I asked maksim about the 180 Toyama Nakiri in kurouchi vs kasumi finish. He said its the same grind and dimensions. Published dimensions on Toyama 180 are different than Watanabe 180. Burnt chestnut handle and cheaper price on KU so I ordered one. Only one left at JNS!
