Just got a new Denka straight from Japan. Never seen this before but the spine is... different. It's like they started to round it off but stopped halfway through one side lol. Also theres no KU over the spine. Weird right? Or is this just how it is... now? Always an adventure with this knife lol. The handle had a very nice tapered tang on it tho and the fit up is actually quite good for this knife. My other western handle one seemed like the super blue core was in the handle too. That's kinda neat. Anyway, has anyone seen this before or what the heck did they send me lol.
The knife is heavier and not as nicely balanced as the Japanese handled one. This particular one has the quirks I mentioned with the spine, but also it's quite thick at the spine, not much taper, the geometry and grind itself isn't bad tho. But it's thick at the spine and not a lot of taper idk.

Really told myself I wouldn't buy anymore but here we go. The Takadas were impulse buys that I'll probably dump. They're nice enough but I have other lasers I barely use...Toyama, Dalman, Wakui, Takada, Takada and HSC///
Nice lineup. Let me know if you ever want to part with that HSC.

The governing council of the Global Rectangle Owners (aka "Grow") may allow that middle sample into the All Rectangle March project.
You can contact @BillHanna, @Jville, and/or @tostadas for clarification and final decision.

Woops, somehow this showed up at my house. So much for budgets and all that.
Aw, that just sucks.
We seem like got the same problem, this one is very smokey, the whole shipping box smell likes it comes straight out of a tobacco factory

Although it does look fairly rectangular, in spirit and composition it is Takedas version of a kirtsuke. Also there is still a nose( long and flattish but still a nose), so my vote is no. His nakiris and cleavers are, of course, welcome.
This is fair. Frankly, given the outcome of a previous submission that was found to have a substandard quantity of 90° angles, I simply wasn't prepared for another such round of rejection. I have to concur that this has one slightly acute and one slightly obtuse angle and as such did not warrant submission for consideration. Never the less, it has had the shoulders knocked down by the previous owner and I will take solace in the slaying of cabbage with it.

Slay away… I wonder does it share the sturdiness trait with Takeda rectangles? All five Takeda rectangles( both classic and NAS) I have had were all sturdy and stiff. The one gyuto(classic) I had was kind of flimsy.This is fair.

No, it is incredibly thin even compared to other Takeda's and has a fair bit of flex. I just have one classic gyuto to compare to which feels a good bit stiffer than this one. We'll see how that thinness and flex feel over time.

Sometimes the heel is a bit misleading on a forged geometry knife, there’s a good chance that bias doesn’t continue thru the bevels.
