https://homebutcher.com/search?type=product&q=shinkiroNihei AS reactive damascus. 555 for a "240" (which says it's actually 250) + 20% off right now. I'm very curious about these. Unfortunately the one with this handle is only a 210

Does anyone know who the sharpener is for that Nakagawa? Seems like Myojin does a lot of work with them but nothing confirmed there.
Not sure but high possibility it's myojin...the polish and grind fit his MO. Reach out to Dustin and ask on insta, I'm sure he is more than happy to share if he can without hurting his business relationships.

Nakagawa Damascus x Myojin
Best way to tell is the darker etching and more mirror edge...
Not all of them are sharpened by Myojin
 
I left a machi gap on one of the knives I swapped the handle on.

Explanation 1: I like how it looks.
Explanation 2: The hole of handle is too shallow to fit in the tang. I conveniently gave up after trying to dig it deeper.

Which one do you think is true? lol

If it was me doing that to my knife, definitely #2!

The hole of handle is too shallow to fit in the tang. You conveniently gave up after trying to dig it deeper. And now you start to like how it looks.
 
Those who install knife handles always try to make a perfect balance on each knife, so machi may be on some knives and may not be on others. Depends on blade and handle weight
Not true imo. The machi is purely aesthetic, as is the machi gap. While I love the former, I despise the latter on several levels.
