Haha its just quite a coincidence both of you were responding to the same exact question that was asked of both of you simultaneously.
Picked this guy up from BST. I don't know why this steel doesn't get more buzz. View attachment 52196
Kochis are usually readily available and inexpensive therefore we all overlook them.
Thanks Ian. I am happy with the purchase. This is one of those knives that "feels" quality when you pick it up. It takes a screaming edge.Glad to see it out in the wild. It’s a great knife.
Such a great knife. Enjoy!!Picked this guy up from BST. I don't know why this steel doesn't get more buzz. View attachment 52196
I’m waiting for the “with machi” restock.I've owned 3 Kochis in V2. The first two I bought in 2017 and had very rough, course-grained KU. The newer one I bought had much smoother, fine-grain KU. I like the old version a lot more. I ended up selling them all, and I really miss my old 210. I might try buying it back...
Nice and interesting in that the lines are mostly vertical.Finally arrived from Sweden! What a beauty! Isasmedjan 240mm Gyuto. Can't wait to use it later.
Jonas's pictures are much better at capturing this than mine:
Thanks Labor, I should read more carefully. I will admit to a couple of rye on the rocks this evening.
I'll take that under consideration. [emoji12]It's the rocks. Very bad for the cognition.
It's safer to mix the rye with a little maple syrup, some lemon juice and a drop of bitters, shake it with crushed ice and while STRAINING THE EVIL, EVIL ROCKS OUT, pour it into a glass with a twist of lemon peel.
Much safer. I know these things.

Do you have a side shot with the blade on a board? It looks like the edge is almost ruler-straight.
Ashi Hamono? Steel? What a beautiful profile and Hamon.Almost complete. Still waiting for her handle.
Very unique. Hows handle comfort? Lots of sharp edges in that design.

Looks well designed and implemented. I'm guessing those are CF scales
