Guess we have the same conclusion, they are good but didn’t blow me away, tho few knives did at this pointBumped my head and got some brain damage…next thing I know, I’ve been brainwashed by the Denka crowd…picked up from a member here
F/f is average, not atrocious

Couldn’t agree more. It’s solid but not amazing, but I need to use it a bit more before making any personal conclusionsGuess we have the same conclusion, they are good but didn’t blow me away, tho few knives did at this point

Congratulations. Much less fat behind the edge than very recent 'normal' ones I've seen. Looks like it has got a good sharpening. About the petty: a good stainless is helpful if your main knife is a carbon one. Shorter petties have a small contact area with the board and require a lot of sharpening. I like a lot this Sab in Sandvik's 14C28N.@Benuser finally I got the misono. Received today.

For left handed.
Now searching for a petty. I doubt between 13 and 15 cm. Some advice is welcome.
Yes, this knife is thinner behind the edge than the normal version shown on pics. I have even thought 'maybe they have modified a right handed version instead of purchasing a left handed version from factory'.Congratulations.

You are right, I forgot this detail.The logo is on the other side for a right handed knife.
tanaka special from maxim arrived today! definitely can’t wait to take it for a test drive.
Looks like a lot more core steel is exposed on one side vs the other. Any concerns to be had around this? I suppose when the time comes I will just try to thin more from one side?
Makes sense, the grind looks good from the choilI would thin normally so as not to upset the geometry.

It wasn’t listed as ‘fine finish’ but grind looks very good.Is it a “fine finish”?
Did they mend the stone wheel that broke in their workshop a while back?
Cheers. It’s my first Morihei Hisamoto, prefer wa handle.I have 4 Western Morihei Hisamotos which I will put up for sale soon. This one looks absolutely gorgeous, congratulations!
the kanji inside the box says natural stone finishIt wasn’t listed as ‘fine finish’ but grind looks very good.
Didn’t know about the wheel.
