Quick Q. Which current japanese knifemakers offer a rounded spine and choil by default?
Except for the gesshin stainless! Those come quite rough. Jon is happy to round the spine and choil if you ask, but straight from the box they have sharp ridges that make holding uncomfortable.Not sure if this is what you had in mind but Jon’s specs on his Gesshin lines are usually very comfortable out of the box and there’s a few threads on here that suggest that he works with the smiths to get a higher standard of hit and finish for JKI than they sometimes offer direct from the Japanese smiths.
Oh right. Thanks for the correction. I had been working on a combination of Jon’s comments and my own experiences with Gesshin Ginga’s. I don’t have experience of the Gesshin Stainless line.Except for the gesshin stainless! Those come quite rough.

Is Tetsujin not from Tosa? Some Hokiyama stuff is nicely finished, too.Nothing from Tosa, unless they've recently stepped up their game.
Sakai brands, usually.
