I had the same complex as I am a relatively néw member / but I always asked like you, and soon I learned now I am giving backI’ve got a favor to ask. Would it be possible for everyone to post the maker of the knives they show here? Most do, but it contributes to my inferiority complex to not recognize these beautiful tools. Still learning!
Glad it found a new home, hope you enjoy it!Picked up this Kagekiyo 240mm in White2 off BST recently. Thanks to @wombat
Having owned another knife forged by Nakagawa I felt quite hard pressed to pass this up. The sharpen ability of his White2 is superb with burrs forming in seconds.

Hey does your one have an extremely thin tip with an extremely smooth distal taper. I have one of the older ones and it has those qualities. It is phenomenal and easily my favorite out of the 3 FMs, ive had.

It's a different animal than my other FM. Heavier, a hint thicker, feels more like a mid weight vs the feather (W1). Love the lower tip.Hey does your one have an extremely thin tip with an extremely smooth distal taper. I have one of the older ones and it has those qualities.
