Ok, here’s my 1 meal review...

Prepared dinner and let me tell you, this knife is sweet. I didn’t really know what to expect but this knife is a real looker. Rounded spine, polished choil. F&f up there with the best I would say. It’s tall (58mm) but it’s thin behind the edge. A very slight distal taper but holds most of its thickness through the blade. Slight S geometry. Food release way better then expected (made mashed potatoes) and went through the usual salad stuff with ease. Also making a batch of caramelized onions and that was fun.

Cladding is very mild. Core is C130. Beautiful kasumi. I dig the hexagonal handles but the red palisander wood might get a little slick.

It very much reminds me of a taller version of my Dalman 210 warikomi, which also comes in at 220.

Are all Yoshihiro's this poorly done around the choil? I haven't used it yet, but this looks like it'd hurt anyone doing a pinch grip for more than 10 minutes. Also, is the pitting on the flat sides of both sides of the knife supposed to be this deep? you can see it more on the bottom pic, but its kind of all over the knife.

Nice Heiji! Was this a custom lefty grind request? The grind seems to be much higher than the usual too...

it isn't a lefty, or at least not supposed to be 😂
the handl isn't installed a 100% straight which I think is making it look more so
The grind was though, I asked him for a taller knife with higher bevels
it's about 2
 
my custom TF is finally ready!! 240 denka, but with iron cladding and white1 core.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9i0q4rkctlf8p04/AACfdKZRSiQRyhHyr09OACCYa?dl=0looks to be 245x55 @ 260g gonna be a beast.

i'm wondering why it doesnt have hammer marks; but no big deal, can't wait to use it. opted for DHL shipping since japan post is currently not shipping to USA. cost an additional $100! ouch.

Shoulda told them to hit it more. Prime your handle guy. Those stock 'upgraded' handles suck
