That's really funny they made my 225 a 215...that being said at least they try and offer customization! Rare for Japan.

Anyway sweet knife, love mine.

Did you ask for 240mm specifically? Asking because I am considering ordering direct from them and also want 230mm (but in Ginsan)...

I told them 230 more than once and they kept saying 240 so I assumed it meant the normal 240 size. My fault for assuming.

I get it. These knives are going to outlive us. Better to get it right at the start rather than spend the next 30+ years thinking "if only this were a little bit shorter" every time you use it.

Ahsy and the 3 knives : "Oh this knife is to small", "Oh this knife is to big", "Oh but this knife is just .......... no I don't like this one either"

oooh.

I don't have the knife at home with me ATM, but from what I remember it's somewhere around the heel of the blade.

$425 if it doesn't sell I'll keep it.

Buy now, sell later. This is the way.

While I agree, my spouse does not, and I’d like to keep her.

I had this problem until I let her see what I sell and for how much and now she's very much ok with it. Just saying.

This is wild. I bought his last ginsan and can say that that ended up being on of my favorites. This looks very similar but a bit longer. Tadakoro is killing it rn
