Harder to forge and more failures I'm guessing accounts for the higher price. TF works with B#1 just not for double bevels.

Exactly what I was thinking. I mean Y. Tanaka san makes ****tons of Aogami steel knives each month compare to other masters, and the fact that he can still keeps his work in perfect condition always amazed me. I guess practice do makes perfection.I feel like it depends on the smith. Yoshikazu Tanaka can forge a **** ton of it, considering the output and he's making other stuff, I am not sure that many failures. He's got the Fujis, the Kagekiyos, the Hitohiras, the Tsubayas, the JNS line, and I know I'm missing a few. I do guess for the sharpeners, its probably very wear resistant and then more effort to polish. I've heard B#1 is hard to forge for some, but I get the impression the man's just a master of it, the same way TF is on AS and W#1.
, the kaiju will only be available at cktg and tosho. Happy hunting.Saw this on their insta just now. Any chance it will be available in the EU? I know cuttingedgeknives sells Konosuke but haven’t seen anything yet on their page. View attachment 96222
Ai & Om will get it as well.., the kaiju will only be available at cktg and tosho. Happy hunting.
I wonder if they will chisel Godzilla on one side and Ultraman on the other
With flippers BST surcharge ie convenience fee tacked onI gotta feeling, based on the interest, that they'll sell out quickly. I just might wait until they start popping up on BST in late Fall.
Nice! Where did you get that from?

It's a very similar choil to my Takada Reika (Tanaka also). This one with more beef at the spine and much more height, allowing tremendous convexing mine couldn't exhibit so beautifully.

I must say that this new iteration of the Fujiyama looks wildly close to the last round of the Larger FM 240's. Aside from the Kanji and natural stone finish, I see no difference. Well, the B2 vs the B1 I suppose.
Mine came in at:

Even the Choil shots look too familiar:
Don't get me wrong, I still plan on getting the new version. Or I should say try to get the new one. Looks to badass to ignore
True for TF. Kiyoshi Kato, on the other hand, is remarkably consistent both in terms of dimensions and weights.I think there can be some variations in his blades. My Tsubaya significantly less beefy than my dads, and we bought ours at the exact same time, but his is taller and thicker. I find the same with TFs. Only two I have experience with multiple blades of the same model, but I think for normal Japanese hand made knives you have to expect variation. Now again to restate, for the added price, I expect some greater uniformity in dimensions.
Are you even aware that you’ve brought up TF 5 times in this thread about a new kono line?True for TF. Kiyoshi Kato, on the other hand, is remarkably consistent both in terms of dimensions and weights.

Even if this were a thread on shiatsu massage or Disney Land, @Corradobrit1 would find a way to mention TF.Are you even aware that you’ve brought up TF 5 times in this thread about a new kono line?
