New Kochi with machi after its initiation.
gorgeous knife - but not sure if it’s a brand or who makes it, what kind of steel, etc. But price point is good and specs look good too. Patina is beautiful

My very first Japanese gyuto and second japanese knife Wakui Migaki 240 from EpicEdge. I really wanted a knife with reactive steel cause looking at this thread how could I not, but was a bit afraid of fully reactive cladding so I went with w2 core and ss cladding Wakui. After cutting up some grilled chicken I can see the blue that I wanted but surprisingly the cladding also developed some patina and I really don't know if I should be concerned. No that I have a problem with its development, just more curious than anything else.
Right? That's what I thought. Maybe I'll contact the folks at EpicEdge and ask about itLovely knife! It does seem strange that you get a patina on the (supposedly) stainless sides though...?
Kochi is one of the knife lines at JKI. The machi is a modification for this particular model in which the "neck" is wider than it usually is for this maker and region in general.Sorry, mis- posted - wanted to know more about kochi - who makes it, what kind of steel, looks great and specs are impressive, along with price point
Perfect. Thanks for illuminating- I presume it’s from Sanjo?Kochi is one of the knife lines at JKI. The machi is a modification for this particular model in which the "neck" is wider than it usually is for this maker and region in general.
Steel on these is V2.

Some lovely blues on my Matsumi Hinoura. Don’t mind the scratchy cladding
