Takada no hamono shirogami 210
absolutely loving this ootb, great finish and sharpness. Amazed by the soft iron clad dings treatment leading to a lack of patina formation and reactivity, even on the core steel! Any one have any answers as to what they do?View attachment 82227View attachment 82228View attachment 82229
Looks awesome @DitmasPork . How do you like it? Did you buy direct?
Edit: or was this the one on BST recently?

Wow. Does look thin for a WH. That grind is pretty sweet tho. Love how thin it is. Looks fun.New Kato Workhorse 240mm arrived from Maxim. Surprisingly light and thin for a workhorse no? View attachment 82476View attachment 82477View attachment 82478View attachment 82479
Curious to hear how it fares against your current lineup. Particularly against the Jiro and Raquin. Please keep us posted and maybe even give us some comparison thoughts of you can.Just got in a new kitchen tool to add to the rotation, lefty grind. 242 x 52. First western handle knife I've bought in about 7 years.

Whats the edge length and height? Can we get a shot of the spine. These latest 240WH have really been on a diet and I'm liking the profile a lot too, especially towards the tip.New Kato Workhorse 240mm arrived from Maxim.

Looking forward to hearing some comparo's, especially the HT
It’s 53-54mm and 247mm. Not all the newest ones are like this apparently, just talked to a guy that said his new one from the same batch is 270 gramsWhats the edge length and height?

Thats quite a variance. I bet the spine is noticeably thinnerIt’s 53-54mm and 247mm. Not all the newest ones are like this apparently, just talked to a guy that said his new one from the same batch is 270 grams
Interesting. If true, suggests its not all that hardwearing.The Ku is not actually ku. It is hand hammered but I believe it is forced on with perma blue liquid ( used to blue guns).
I believe that's why some users reported patina of the Ku. On normal KU it shouldn't happen.Interesting. If true, suggests its not all that hardwearing.
