$264 on that hap40 Sukenari is pretty sick too.
Agree dimensions would be helpful, especially for a TF. Pretty sure the steel is AS on all Denkas. I will say he's been really responsive to email anytime I've had a question about a knife on his site.

Apology accepted.
Like @Hz_zzzzzz I have a Denka coming direct (western handle 195mm) but I couldn't resist this a cheaper than direct pricing! Thanks, damn you.

My bank balance tells it's time for me to unfollow this thread and BTS for a few weeks again! Thanks all!
CKC added a 270 suji to their yoshikane SKD collection, and at a lower price than I would have expected:

I’ve often wondered if that’s who made the kaeru honyakis, nice to have a confirmation
I don't see anything on there identifying the maker. Did I miss it?
Edit: saw it on another post from ethompson
Edit 2: did not see it right in the title earlier this morning

I don’t think wakui does all of the Kaeru series. But I did suspect it was him this whole time. I suspect him to be the maker of the kochi series at jki also. Who else in sanjo could it be besides him?
It looks like it was the Honyaki and workhorse lines inferring from the website
Is it just me or has Maksim renamed his Kaerus to state which ones are Wakuis just today?

The honyaki and workhorse lines have been shuffled and are under the Wakui section now on JNS, agree I think Wakui is Kochi at JKI
I’ve used mine at 51mm a decent bit, in a professional sitting, and have massive hands and never have missed the heightWish these were 55mm tall, I would buy a few
didn't know I got a wakui collecting dust 
Mine came with a odd heel with a low spot on the edge, feels so bad had to grind some of those off. The steel kinda weird, it lacks bite and has a low edge retention. I got the short hamon one though, hopefully the newer ones are better
