Thanks for the response and sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum. Mods - Feel free to delete. Posted in correct section.
 
I was browsing Strata the other day and saw the Takamura R2 under the Hitohira brand. Its looks and specs seem exactly the same as the Takamura Migaki R2, although I'm not 100% sure they're exactly the same under the different brand.

I have this Takamura and agree that it's an amazing cutter out of the box, particularly when factoring in the price.

Interesting, has the Takamura brothers symbol on the L side of the blade without the rest of the kanji normally found on the Takamura offering-which is found on the R side of the blade, and has some other kanji on the R side of the blade. So, looks to be made by Takamura and rebranded.

I’d go Takamura Pro if you can find one, I think they come out twice a year and just sold mine. Fantastic performance but understated looks like the Ryusen. Kurosaki makes some really nice looking stuff. I don’t have a Shiro Kamo R2 but I have an AS by him and it’s pretty great for the price.
