Not that biased really. I asked for a 70/30 grind but it doesn’t feel much different than other 50/50 blades I own. It’s stupendous so far.FTFY
WOOHOO

Finally pulled the trigger on this beauty.
How it performs really blows my mind. Remind me of the YS that I've tried.
I'm not sure tbh. Never had a friction fit saya before.Not concerned about scratches?

Thank you!love the KUSweet score!!
Cotton pads, camelia oil, white gloves, a special pillow where it can rest - and within time, a part time butler would probably be good.does anyone m ow how I should take care of my honyaki? Is there a need to polish, if so how, and how do I sharpen this thing!

I just like to use a good ceramic plate for mine. Watch some youtube videos of Ricky he'll show you how to do it.Cotton pads, camelia oil, white gloves, a special pillow where it can rest - and within time, a part time butler would probably be good.
Lots of options now. And lengths. Thanks to @lumoThat’s a dream bag right there. I really need something smaller than what I have now. Gotta hit your site soon man. I thought the 18 slot ultimate edge bag would be great but I always reach for something smaller that holds 6 or so.

It’s one of the Shinichi specials - W2 iron clad KU with Damascus edge. A first time trial for Shinichi - I am sure he nailed it! I like how he experiments and makes new creations every so often
My first Watanabe Gyuto! Look forward to trying it learning more about why people rave about his knives cutting ability
It will be interesting to compare to my Toyama’s but at first glance and hand-feel, - it’s a completely different knife
