205 x 86. In sheffcut steel. Honyaki S-grindMeasurements?
What was the price? Any pictures?I am so jealous of whoever buys this Xerxes in 20 minutes. If I had even a shred of money to my name right now I’d be trying to scoop it up.
You may see me offering to buy this in the BST for retail +10% in a couple months…
25 cm laser "rose damascus steel"
Still one shinogi and 3 convex left, given the how popular Hitohira Tanaka and Konosuke are I'd expect them already gone now, anyone one shinogi for me.
I would love to buy the full convex but im holding back for Hado blue 1 dammy. Hopefully I don’t strike out and snag at least 1 Y. Tanaka blue 1. If I do miss all 3 knives then I’ll take the big L and keep telling myself that they aren’t for me.Still one shinogi and 3 convex left, given the how popular Hitohira Tanaka and Konosuke are I'd expect them already gone now, anyone one shinogi for me.
Looks like it’s taken down now. It’s was a rose damascus 250mm with an ironwood handle for €2,200. It was magnificentWhat was the price? Any pictures?
I can't see from his website.

Actually, I did make some updates. Not just copied, but either way there will be variance between blades. Hope those who received knives are happyAlso the specs are copied from the last release, with the denty finish. So I would not take the measurements super seriously.
Looks like a kasumi version of those extra tall Dama Nakagawa Blue 1s they have over at Chef's Edge
Those looks really good, anyone have experience with Nakagawa's blue 1? How they compare to others like Tanaka?
Long story short I was talking to Bernal last night about Tanaka and nakagawa and they said nakagawas blue feels a little harder (to them) vs Tanaka and they say have great sharpen ability and edge formation. I know they always publish nakagawa blue 1 around 62-63 while Tanaka is 65 (at least for konosuke). Wondering how true all that info isThose looks really good, anyone have experience with Nakagawa's blue 1? How they compare to others like Tanaka?
Im actually thinking getting a gyuto from him too.If I didn't already have a nakagawa coming in, in the shape of a tadokoro I'd definitely buy that from zahocho. Love the full kasumi and extra height.
Those look gooooood. Not sure it’s worth the price premium though, could just buy a regular one and get it rehandled…Neat Gingas on Blueway, 240mm stainless, coke bottle handle, extra hardness.

I'm not sure you'd be coming out ahead. Based on my knowledge of wa-rehandling, and considering how much more involved western re-handles are, I can imagine at best you'd break even.Those look gooooood. Not sure it’s worth the price premium though, could just buy a regular one and get it rehandled…
I was thinking I’d break even but with the flexibility to choose the material (maybe even something nicer than micarta) and tweak the shape a bit. But I agree, it’s not overpriced for what it is.I'm not sure you'd be coming out ahead.

Yeah, I agree they are expensive, but they are the higher RC and look to have more refined bolster/choil/spine polish than the cheaper ones they offer. If you started with a nicer Ginga like the Gesshin and got it rehandled, the price would be pretty similar I imagine.Those look gooooood.

Love my Nakagawa Blue 1. So easy to sharpen and holds egde really good. I feel like the nakagawa is softer comparing to tanaka’s blue 1.Those looks really good, anyone have experience with Nakagawa's blue 1? How they compare to others like Tanaka?
I love Yoshi but something about their current Hatsukokoro gyutos doesn't do it for me.A rebranded Yoshikane nashiji thats a little taller and has some refined visuals. Have a few Yoshi knives already and they’re hard to beat as they are. If I didn’t have any I’d probably have a look at one of these.
Won’t regret it, also tosho skd KU yoshis are on another level imoI love Yoshi but something about their current Hatsukokoro gyutos doesn't do it for me.
I might grab this Kono Yoshi though
Also, it looks very similar to Migoto w1,profile and specs vise, but considering people who made it it's no surprise. There's only one way to find out....Looks like a kasumi version of those extra tall Dama Nakagawa Blue 1s they have over at Chef's Edge
