Yeah, mine says something along those lines too.

Japanese customs or Austrian customs? If I search via USPS it basically says it is not in their system. It would be weird that it is sitting in customs in our home nations without movement. You would think that they would move at different rates.
Received mine today. Ordered from another merchant in Japan and shipped by Fedex to me in South Africa. Took just over 1 week to get here. No saya though. Still have to put it to work but it looks fine. But on looks alone not sure what all the hype was about! Will see how it performs. Not sure Im made about the profile.
here you go kids. my well used O.G. ks with nasty patina and thinning marks and scratches going through routine touchup on my awesome aizu (that thing on the right is the 1/4th size atoma i picked up from ebay same 140 grit)
as fond as i am of the KS, i have a new go-to (mutsumi hinoura iron clad ku white2 245mm) which relegates the ks to protein duty only (where as my beast watanabe is gonna be used mainly for veg prep as that benefits most from having best grind)
Austrian customs. The guys were fast, processed already. Knife should be here by tomorrow.
So, for all those still waiting: stay calm. The shipping was slower than usual but in the end it will arrive sooner or later!
Ugh. Still on the fence. Good review thanks for taking the time to post.
NP...I can say that this thing does not feel unwieldy. If that is a worry.
That actually is a major concern so thanks for the feedback!
Awesome! Thanks. Methinks I need to try one.
On that front I almost wish I would have got a 270 but at the same time know that would have been way too much knife for me.
And sticking is not a big issue either.
I was waiting for someone to come back with an HD2 compare and contrast. Thanks for the reviews. I've used Masamoto for years, and even hand picked many while in Japan, they served me well for years in a pro setting (still 3 in my rotation). It seems that every rumor I'd heard may be true in playing out with these observations (that there was a reluctance to rerelease the series, and due to demand it was rushed..). Still a very good knife, but the other night while using my konos, I remember what a swell knife OOTB it is by comparison, from grind to F&F. I know purists might say it's apples and oranges, but I am always gently reminded by hd2 what a carefree knife does for one's soul.
made my day!!! :rofl2:got to remember not to poke against the wall...

That's the way a KS should look!
On another note, mine has finally shipped from Korin so hope top have it in the next few days.
People criticize the hell out of KS for having poor edge retention but fail to mention it's trade off which is quite impressive: best feel on stones and one of the easiest to sharpen out of anything else out there. Takes like two seconds to keep it sexy edgy.
