do we need to pay VAT on those in the united states? seeing some conflicting info on that.
No, definitely not. Price without VAT should appear automatically in cart once shipping info is entered.
Shehan Prull appears to have a fresh batch in 52100 available:

I have a Blue 1 of these. Really is an amazing knife. Never held a standard Maz but the San Mai blue 1 is special.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Aogami Super version tho… anyone have one?
AS Mazaki is new. I think there was 1 before these dropped.
I’d pay basically whatever for an AS version of my 270 KU in white 2. Only complaint I have about that knife is that the edge retention could be better.
They still have the 225 available. Only $1000!
Foot in mouth… I’d pay double what mine went for new (so $800ish) and maybe up to $900 for a AS replica.They still have the 225 available. Only $1000!
Well actually it's only 700 in USD. Nicely under the customs minimum. Too bad my Maz is from CKC

The new Hatsukokoro line looks really nice. Extra tall beefy one that I'd be interested in trying out.

Oops. Thanks for the correction. Forgot I was looking at Ausie bucks.

K&S has the same knives with a different handle for around 30% less of the price.

Thanks
I'm intrigued by the Hatsukokoro but the kanji (specifically on the backside) looks a bit funky to me. Was it laser etched or something? Its been a long day so perhaps I'm a bit blind at the moment unless I'm not the only one.
Lol probably, that aside, the Kanji looks exactly the same as on some Yoshikane, are they related in someway?
Interesting observation. The right side looks chiseled, the left side looks a little too smooth and rounded to be chiseled.
My Hatsukokoro in AS was chiseled on the right face. I don’t think the left face had kanji.

"こもれび " does look like it's laser to me
I don’t think it’s Yoshi. It has a machi and is blue steel, which I’ve never seen in Yoshi. Also, the price seems too low, especially with newer Yoshis coming with a heavy price increase. I think the description kind of implies it’s made in Sakai
Sounds like a custom Sakai made knife to me.
"Many of the knife enthusiasts prefer the larger Sanjo / Echizen profile to the shorter Sakai profile, as a result we are offering the Komoberi in a more traditional Sanjo profile that is very tall, and the length is true edge length rather than tip to machi length."

I heard it's made in Sanjo, so who knows, either Masashi, Toyamanabe or Toomo.
the heel height really meant for these Forum people who have Wiener Finger.

210 shig kitaeji Usuba on Japan Yahoo for 150k yen.
vs zahochos selling it at 175k yen which sold in 30 mins...
not too bad considering a kasumi 240 gyuto sells for 1k now ....

I was referring to the Kanji on the knife, some of the Yoshi such as the one sold in KnF has Hatsukokoro\初心 written on them instead of Yoshikane/吉兼
