This is an amazing knife. Kitaoka San does a great job with blue 2 at an affordable price. The profile on this one is much more of a k-tip yanagi, than a traditional Kiritsuke. Used once for sushi function. Touched up on 8000. Only moving cause need the funds......

CKTG shows its height as 37.8mm.
Is it really 42mm?
Can you get a saya for this height not from custom made?

 

[cheflarge]

Found my calipers and actual height is 36.2 mm. Should be able to get a saya at one of the major distributors
