Gotta get ready for ARM
I’m thinking 240x120ish
@M1k3 is gonna have a field day with this.
Wild! Is the wavy/noisy pattern in the fuller a raised texture or just a surface finish?
Handle is amazing! Blade looks alright. The shape of the blade though! Right up @Isasmedjan and @KAMON Knives alley.
That's it???! But Bill, think of your titles......what will the people say??? You better make it at least 330x150, lest they become disillusioned with their prince...

Its a pattern in the fuller
Hinoura Ajikataya Shirogami #2 Gyuto
245mm x 51 mm
200 grams
4.4 mm out of the spine with a consistent taper
Bought one of these to compare to my Munetoshi and other Sanjo shirogami #2 knives I’ve tried.
Very pleasantly surprised. Super consistent wide bevels, nice and thin BTE. I thought the bevels were going to be hollow ground, but they turn out to be flat, or at least close to flat so they won’t need a ton of work on the stones. Comfortably rounded spine and choil, just great F&F in general, oozes craftsman. And the cherry on top is there’s a ton of beautiful banding under the stock sandblasted finish.
Absolutely no OOTB edge, so I put it on the stones, 2 passes on a King Hyper 1000 and bit of time on an Aizu and this thing is digging into the cutting board. Awesome feedback when sharpening, just feels super dense. In use, reminds me of the one Raquin I’ve gotten to try. A little wedgy, but very aggressive cutter with good food release. More belly in the profile towards the tip, but nothing too curvy and the heel stop is smooth. A full wide bevel sharpening will really open this knife up. Tsukasa Hinoura’s knives are obviously highly sought after (with a price tag to match), but more people need to try the knives by Mutsumi Hinoura.

The last purchase I made for 2022 and I just received it today. I was about to buy the Hatsukokoro Yoake Migaki until this knife popped up. Thank God I stalled for a bit and I always wanted to get this since I really like how the Santoku version cut when I used it for work. Hatsukokoro Komorebi Blue 1 Damascus 240mm Gyuto. Lovin the F&F so as the simple Ebony handle with Marbled Horn which I wouldn’t swap out.

If you ever decide to let this go, I’ll give you my whole collection, my left nut, and naming rights for my first born child.

Check Milan's IG, he's having a drawing for the opportunity to purchase one that looks very similar.
Was about to say this. Saw the knife he's got listed for the draw in person when I was collecting mine last week. It's an absolutely beautiful blade. Really nicely balanced for the length too. Slightly thinner geometry but an even bigger taper. Definitely worth a shot entering the raffle to try and buy.

Same here. Ugh hope there will be a restock soon.
Edit: Jon also mentioned price will be upped significantly on their next restock of Gengetsu. Price on the website hasn't changed, but that could be just JKI deciding it was unnecessary work for this batch..
