Wanted to see what all the fuss is about.

congrats - gorgeous knife - any first impressions on what the fuss is all about? Are we all Denka marketing victims through a fanboy community?

is it all press and no substance? Or the reverse?

This was a direct order.

It’s a beautiful knife. F&F is better than I expected. The Choil is rounded without me asking. The spine could use some work though. F&F on the handle is better than on my Morihei Hisamoto. There are no overgrinds that I can see and Gaku confirmed to me before he shipped it that there are none.

Using it for dinner tonight and will find out if “ it will cut “ as Doug would say. All in all I’m happy so far.

Ordered a pack of Swedish candy and got a new knife included in the package. Or was it the other way around.

We are convinced now that you own knives. Looking forward to your cooking blog where we can see that you actually use them.

First choil shot is from my new 270 KU which is 275x60 305g.

The other pics are from a earlier KU 270 from a few months ago. Very different profile and grind, I had it reground and profiled so it actually had a useful tip.

Seems like there’s a few of these bullnose wats floating around come with much beefier geometry than the older style wats.

Thanks - if you look at p 647, you see the picture of a Wat I just got, similar profile to yours, but very different choil shot


was your a pro-line?

 

[DrEriksson]

I was 0-20 trying for Dalman’s until last Thursday. Should be arriving this week!

That’s so nice to hear. Hope you like it!

Yes mine was a pro line. Mine had a pretty similar choil shot to your before I got it reground. Sturdy knife and a good cutter, but having the shinogi moved up a bit improves it nicely.

 

[RockyBasel]

That’s really helpful - thanks! Where sis you get it reground?

 

[Alder26]

I took it to a local knife maker who did it. If you have any knife makers that are near by you should contact them. Re-grinding on a belt doesn't take very long so it usually doesn't cost too much.
