@DitmasPork do you have a weight by chance? I didn’t see measurements up at JKI.
Please share your thoughts once you break it in!
I don't have a scale. It's definitely a mid-weight.

Good question. I'm retired military, and formerly worked as a compliance officer and project manager for major financial firm. I'm in school now. I'm 43 and have invested well in my life (considering I had zero assets at 19). I've just sold my other house in Colorado so that helps pay for things, along with my pension. I assume that's what you want to know?Lovely. What's your job?

I agree, was not to my liking. I oversaw a global HR program and missed managing my team of investigators. Wouldn't do it again, and I'm a PMI member.retired military, PM and back in school? you must have the patience of a saint.
I did PM work for a few months between two stats jobs out of coincidence. if I never do it again, I would not shed a single tear. I had a wonderful mentor and it still wasnt enough. I found it harder than anything else I've ever done, with a level of frustration far beyond graduate school even.
I guess I’ll be buying the beer if we ever meet in Harrisburg hahahaOk, I have quite a few coming, some notably unicorns, or at least hard to get.

Both were absolute pleasures to deal with.
Aaaaand choil shot comparison. The Toyama is a better cutter, but the food release on the ShiHan when cutting potatoes is insane.
