Edit: sorry, didnt notice that this question was already asked
What a beautiful pair, enjoy cutting!The Migaki is a bit thicker for sure. Migaki thickness at heel, midpoint, and 1 cm from tip are 4.5 mm, 2.3 mm, and 1.2 mm, respectively. Whereas, Kurouchi is 4.1 mm, 2.1 mm, and 1.1 mm.

An interesting one from Mattias Lundburgs. Pattern welded Damascus, full tang with undersized scales. I believe it’s about 260x60. Really well balanced with a great weight and taper to it. Including a lundburgs family photo. Dude makes a really nice knife.
I’m typically not either. This one is cool but also pretty subtle.Normally not a fan of Damascus but damn that's gorgeous
I was stalking the Kochi page at JKI waiting for this as well. Decided to get the 240 KU gyuto in the meanwhile. Prices are just too good to pass, specially after recent price hikes from many Japanese makers.Anyone know about the new Kochi items "in the works" Jon mentioned?
JKI just posted on Instagram a pair of damascus gyutos... KU and migaki. Not sure they are the new stuff but I hadn't noticed them beforeAnyone know about the new Kochi items "in the works" Jon mentioned?
I saw this from Shirogami! At least pretty sure it's the same one. Gorgeous.Custom Nenox Honyaki. The smith is Yoshikazu Ikeda (池田美和), Sharpener is Shinpei Ino (伊野信平). Inbound.
