Wow. Sorry to hear about that.I bought one and the knife they sent me was not actually stainless, there were spots on the cladding that were staining like regular carbon. I had them send me a replacement knife and they made me pay to ship the original knife back to Singapore. The replacement knife was ok, but obviously I was not happy with the customer service.
Thanks,The stainless they typically use for cladding doesn’t get hot enough during heat treating to put the chrome in solution. 403, 410, 416 are not stainless at the lower temperatures used for carbon steels.

Mine continues to have a little bit to this dayMy wakui reacted sorta when I first got it, but I could just buff the weird brown tint off and eventually it stopped. Was odd but a short lived issue.
That's a classy knife rack! Toyama Toyama/Wat Maz Gengetsu Gengetsu?Finally got one, really like it, middle knife.
Razorsharp states that the knife is made my Mazaki himself from begining to end.

What is the pricepoint on them? Would absolutely love one a a line knife but they are not easy to come by in the EU
When I inquired they quoted me $425 with shipping to the USA, I lucked out and got one for less on BST.What is the pricepoint on them? Would absolutely love one a a line knife but they are not easy to come by in the EU
Perhaps they meant 425 Singaporean dollars?When I inquired they quoted me $425 with shipping to the USA, I lucked out and got one for less on BST.
I looked at that Yoshikane - sweet looking knife, perfect specs, but swung to Manaka Hamono insteafGood to know, might just go for a yoshikane and a deba from cleancut then for the same price :--)
