Is there any differences in the grinds between higher models? Ive heard the kasumi and damascus have more of an s grind.
Probably not. But I couldn't say?? :dontknow:
I am not a collector. I do not own the same knife in different finishes. A vendor might know. What I can say is; the kurouchi santoku does not have an S-grind but the kitaeji gyuto does. That should be of no surprise. How ya'll gonna keep that black oxide if you scrape/grind a concave into the surface?
But then... That observation is not apples and apples. A kitaeji santoku may not have an S-grind either! In fact.... In Maxim's video you can see a kurouchi turn into a kasumi. Looks like a Santoku to me... If Kasumi versions of those exist, I aint seen 'em. With more polish it might end up a kitaeji...
