The Cleancut examples seem to have been the most consistent and better finished of the few dealers I've sampled.

Tbh I think Yoshihiro and Knifewear (both KUs) have been consistent as well. It's really just JNS's final batch with the cutlass (barf) profile that gives Mazaki a bad name
It would be such a sexier knife if the faux shinogi was a little more realistic.
Is there a difference in Migaki and Kasumi or is it the same thing just called different? For my eyes CKC kasumi and Cleancut Migaki finish looks just the same... And yes, the kasumi finish could be different IMO.

Do newer cleancuts resemble older cleancuts? Seems to me the cleancut ones were a tad flatter and pointier up until recently, they might resemble carbon Knife company version now.

No Mazaki resembles any other Mazaki. It’s not a big, it’s a feature!
Do you have a Yoshihiro Mazaki? Curious on the specs/measurements. I feel as though you don't see as many as you do from other vendors.

Given that both Jiro and mazaki drift all over the place they bound to intersect sometime....unless mazaki is Jiro

That looks like a jiro profile
Maz is the originator of wandering profile. But this one is first gen soooooo......

Just got my Mazaki yanagiba 300mm in Blue2.

It weights 275g, thickness on the spine from the handle is 5.3 it does not taper as much like the gyuto. It’s pretty sharp ootb but I bet it can be sharper after a bit of touch up.

Measurements are pretty similar to CKC that other members have. Mine came with a rather flat grind so food sticks quite a bit. It's pretty thin behind the edge, but can be thinner.

It does that to me every now and again, just keep trying.
I kind of suck with these things. I could put it only to insta igtv... I have one with 3,1gb and one with 12mb, it says too big file for both...

I deleted the previous post, long story short, wedging differences with 3 Mazakis from CKC, all bought in last 9 months.

Are these all the same steel? White or Blue or mixed?
All three are white 2.

Thanks the first one seemed to wedge just a bit but, the other two cut pretty nicely.
Yes, the Kasumi wedges a bit more. I tried to keep lateral movement to minimum(no problem with my cutting technique
)

While everyone keeps wondering which knives Mazaki makes these days (the correct answer is all of them)...I’m wondering who did Mazaki outsource his own line to?
Flying monkeys?
Jiro?
Did you see the video of the monkeys take over a town in Thailand because there were no tourists there to feed them? That s**t is cray.
