Monkeys are aholes
I’ve used OG cleancuts that are all the rave and I prefer the new CKC Mazakis, I’m assuming the Yoshihiro ones are similar so that’s what I would go with.So of the available 240’s right now. Who does everyone think I should buy from? CC, yoshi or k&s?
edit: this will be my first maz
Not this month???1,400 posts. Almost as many posts as knives he made this year.
Yeah, someone just posted a bnib maz from cleancut in show your newest knife buy....I definitely prefer carbons.So of the available 240’s right now. Who does everyone think I should buy from? CC, yoshi or k&s?

I can’t prove they are, but I think they might be. The batches came out at about the same time and they appear identical to me.but there all sold out... I guess yoshi’s the way? Or wait?

I went over to the Yoshi store (in Beverly Hills) and he was kind enough to let me fondle them. They’re great, they are likely the same batch as the CKC ones that I’ve seen/held. Buy with confidence. Maz’s are really consistent- from batch to batch. And they’re seemingly getting closer to an ultimate style, from all that I’ve seen, bought, borrowed from the 1st gen to now, I’m seeing a unification overall. Either way, they’re all performers and a great value no matter where they come from. (Except for that one weird batch that jns peddled a while back between gens 2 & 3 with the pippy longstocking nose)

I ended up getting the K&S. just cause I preferred, for this knife, the non KU. Like Ashy said it was James words on the 2020's that sealed the deal for me, although i have no doubt that the Yoshi's are top notch. I'll update when the knife comes in.
Yo I still enjoy my last jns batch maz. Mine doesnt seem nearly as exaggerated on the tip upsweep as some peoples. The one 210mm on bst is nuts
Do you have the KU? You have a choil shot?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.
Did James get more in? I thought they were sold out...I ended up getting the K&S. just cause I preferred, for this knife, the non KU.

Is it just me or has Maz nearly doubled in price in the past year?
Hope for a little insight on this one. I picked up this Yoshi Mazaki 3rd hand from the large sell off of the collector in CA that passed away. For those who don’t know the story, a person won an auction of a storage box which contained about 100 high end knives.
This particular one does not have the typical Mazaki signature, but is part of the Yoshi Mazaki series. I am thinking it is an older model, but would like to hear what others think.
Ohhh I need to hear more about the box

Looks like one of the earlier batcher, with a more santoku-ish profile. He changed away from that profile pretty quickly, but I know some people on here would pay extra to get one of those in KU.
