If I had a Fujiyama, I'd get either a Zakuri, Kochi or Gengetsu. As a matter of fact, all of those are on my list ahead of a Fujiyama. The other thing about the Fujiyama is the 240 I've got right now is pretty short-feeling. The other three are true 240's and I use a pinch grip so I feel I get a significant amount of extra useable knife.

Mine is a 270 and it is 259mm on the edge. If you buy a Konosuke gyuto get the 270. I agree with Tk the 240's are too short, they should average 225-230mm.
The blade height on my 270 is 50mm. There are some pretty good pics at the beginning of this thread, but if you want more I will be happy to send them to you.

It was suggested to me once to wet magnolia wood and let it completely dry before attempting to stain; supposed to open the pores? IDK, I'm no woodworking expert....
Nice knife, by the way. that handle is pretty sweet! I've been eyeing a Fuji kiritsuke for a loooong time......

tell me more...
The 240mm runs short. it might be closer to 225 on the cutting edge. They are very good knives. But there are better/others that people may find more to there personal preference. My white one gets sharper then almost any knife I have used and holds it better then any white steel knife I have used.
I can't comment on the retention but it definitely is mind-blowingly easy to sharpen to crazy sharpness.
