Congratulations on finding "the one"!I’ve been wanting one of these Shi.han telegraphs for a while now! Finally got one.
TFTFTFTF!!!
Finally got my wa denka in from the factory!! In my opinion, fit and finish looks good. Anyone want to put their two cents in on the job they did?

I don't normally like fancy handles, but that one looks really good. Great match with the saya, too. Nice work all around.
These are really nice knives and feel better in hand than I was expecting when I got mine. They go from very good to great/excellent if you sand everything to a near mirror polish and re-etch.Yoshimi Kato Black Damascus SG2 240mm Gyuto with custom ruby marbled acrylic handle.
The blade looks way better in person and I’m surprised at how thin the blade is. I’m fast becoming a fan of Yoshimi Kato. Looking forward to running it past some vegetables.

Ah cheers! Yeah I was quite pleased with that, it was a very experimental handle when I was just starting to make them, from a piece of Tasmanian Oak floorboard offcut that needed a large amount of epoxy fill. A slightly messy and precarious operation, but came out beautifully.
As did BF's saya which is just a spot-on colour match for both the wood and the epoxy .

My eyes see an owl face in that blue circle near the butt. Two golden eyes and a beak in the middle. Now I can't not see it.

This? Or did you get one with a "colorful" handle and trying to hide it? Just asking.So forgive me for trying to squeeze a couple of different ’arty’ shots in...

Regardless, very creative and fun.
It matches nicely with the toy in the backgroundDrat. I would have got away with if it hadn‘t been for you meddling kids. <shakes fist, reveals laughable photo below>

Yep, I am slightly ashamed by the horror of the handle but, with hindsight, I‘m still glad my greed overwhelmed my pride on this occasion. Let the record show that this deal worked out at over $200 less than another esteemed retailer is charging for the very same blade alone, and I got.a free handle thrown in. I’d have settled for $100 less and no handle, but still…
