Does the morihei FF come in two versions? This one is KU - but the FF that I got is not KU - so that means there must be 2 versions of the Morihei FF knife

I should probably take some better pics, but I'm supposed to be working.
Hitohira Kikuchiyo (Nakagawa from Shiraki Hamono) x Ren (Morihiro's Grandson) 180mm Santoku in White 2. Fit and finish is very good (rounding on everything is very good - very much like my Kono FM). Concave Wide bevel grind.
Going to be interesting to try out.
Here’s where I got my information ... Morihei Hisamoto Kurouchi White #1 Gyuto 240mm Pakka Handle (Fine Finish)

Congrats. Glad my old Morihei TF has found its forever home
Just too long for me in a home kitchen otherwise I would have kept it. These TF's take a superb blue patina.

That knife you have was used for the beauty shots on the Hitohira page

I’m thrilled to have it and I really get why TF has such a great following. My preference in knives is a rustic, reactive finish. TF checks all the marks in that regard. I don’t have a problem with and, in fact slightly prefer, a longer knife. As a home cook I adjust my technique to the knife. That’s part of my enjoyment as trying to understand what the maker was trying to accomplish. The won’t be my last TF.Congrats. Glad my old Morihei TF has found its forever home

I have the same knife in the 210mm. I feel the same way about it. Awesome to use but a bit rough when you have a closer look. Mine is 217g and feels solid but balanced. F&F on my blade is good but handle is not the best like you say. I'm still in the honeymoon phase but I'm very glad I picked it up and really enjoy using it.
There is both a stainless clad maboroshi equivalent and a kuro iron clad like this one. Both came in regular and fine finish.
These two pages show all of the iterations as far as I'm aware (also some other non-TF morihei knives). Morihei

I looked at the 240 'fine finish' and I gotta say that's a lotta money for a knife that has a worse kasumi than I can put on a knife myself 
especially because on the same site you can look at the Tanaka x Kyuzo Hitohiro knives with absolutely stunning looking finishes, nicer handles and apparently better f&f.
maybe they're nice knives beyond that but if you label a knife as having better finish it would be nice for it at least look like it lives up to that.

for example:
The one miura has is even harder to find, cuz that one isn’t pre laminated.Wow! these babies are pretty much impossible to find. i saw one on Miura but it was sold out. Have been waiting since

Arrived freshly today:
This is what happens when a swordsmith makes kitchen knives, probably the sexiest hamon I’ve ever seen. Forged by Ron Chen, a Taiwanese swordsmith, apprentice of Yoshihara Yoshindo.

The 'artknife' guy is a pain to deal with. Did you get it from him?

Yeah I PMed the maker on Facebook. His Facebook page is Ron Chen Forge. We communicated in Mandarin but I believe they speak English as well.

I can see the Nihonto DNA. Is it tamahagane steel? If not, then what?

It’s forged from a Taiwan-made steel called SNCM220, not tamahagane sadly... although it would probably cost so much more if so

Been thinking about trying this out, but in 240mm gyuto. Any input after your usage is greatly appreciated.

Second hand JNS mazaki 240.
nothing flashy but this bad girl should be good fun.
I have a Y. Tanaka x Yohei 240 blue 1 gyuto and K&S Kasumi 240 Mazaki on their way to me at this moment, need to get some reps in with the Maz before they get here and take all of my attention.

Light-Show !!!
The knife called "Falcon Funayuki"
It’s made by a 17years old very talented german pupil named Simon Herde living in the north of germany.
Steel is Sandvik 14c28n / 4mm thick on the handle with 20cm sharp cutting edge. The knife has an outstanding crowned grind. It is not a laser geometry, but it cuts like this.
be soulful, kup

Got my first deba a few weeks ago, so far I am enjoying it a lot! It is this one: Mumei NOS Hand Forged VG-10 Deba 165mm Ho Wood Handle (B Grade Discounted)
Bought it from a new knife vendor in the Netherlands who is a joy to work with.
F&F was a bit rough but it was to be expected for this price and it being a B grade knife. The grind on the other hand seems pretty good and is usable already, will take a few sharpenings for it to really even out and get a nice kasumi of the stones.

Thanks... I'll keep an eye on them. Bit far for me to travel but I'm sure he'll get a webshop going soon enough given the current situation.
Kamon all finished up, think it'll start making its way to me this week.
240mm polished denty s-grind. Handle block made for me by a friend who does resin work and stabilises wood. Ferrules are copper with forced patina.
Can't wait to get it.

now they’re blue. What does that tell you? (Apart from a fancy rhyme)
