I’ve used my fully mirror polish once. It was kind of scary using it at first because I didn’t want to scratch up the finish.Absolutely love it. Have you used either yet? how does the finish hold up? my only other ginsan is a Nakagawa 150 petty

Beautiful!New Knife Day 4 out of 6. Makoto Tadokoro Marushin 240mm Gyuto Ginsan Mirror Polish with Ebony and Horn handle. Almost 1 month of wait for this to arrive. Such a beautiful fit and finish on this knife and im pretty sure that the performance won’t disappoint me at all.View attachment 282429View attachment 282430View attachment 282431View attachment 282432View attachment 282433View attachment 282434
Other than mirror finish and the ebony handle upgrade, did you make any other special requests (e.g. extra length or height)? Would also be curious to know how much the knife weighs with an ebony handle…New Knife Day 4 out of 6. Makoto Tadokoro Marushin 240mm Gyuto Ginsan Mirror Polish with Ebony and Horn handle.

This was purchased at Bernal cutlery. It has some good weight on it and maybe it’s coming from the ebony handle.Other than mirror finish and the ebony handle upgrade, did you make any other special requests (e.g. extra length or height)?
