Wow, this is quite a bit heavier than mine (197g). Nice looking knife! Glws

Did it sell

 

[MrHiggins]

Yeah, seems heavy. Mine is 212 gr. You sure in that weight?

looks more like a kono fujiyama, have they changed it this much from original?

From talking with some other members here, I have a particularly heavy workhorse example. Great food release, but not the laser-ish cutter I was expecting from a lot of folks recommending it to me

Had a CleanCut KU version before, if I didn't know they both came from the same forge, wouldn't think they had any connection at all. Totally different profile, grind, and heat treat. Definitely convex and not wide-bevel like the Kono Fujiyama

All that said
