I write this thread on behalf of my friend who purchased a toyama stainless calding Blue2 240mm gyuto from the JNS in the end fo the January.
The knife arrive at his hand in the middle of Febuary and the body of the knife came in curved condition. also the core steel is biased near the heel of the knife.
My friend tried to write email to JNS to report the situation, unfortunatly there's no reply at all. Now he is very upset and regret that he paid 100% of the value but got a substandard knife from JNS.
Is there any one met such kind of situation before?
----------------------------------------------------------------
here's the new update.
My friend said thought it's hard to tell the spin of knife is not staight, but he is trying his best to prove it.
so he put the knife onto the cut board for both side. and you can see the situation.
acutally Toyama is not the only san mai knife in his collection, but also Mazaki, Teruyasu, Kato. he compared those knife and make such a conclusion. for compasion, you can check the performace of TF and Mazaki, especially the Mazaki which is also a thick choil knife.

I got some more information about the story of this curve knife.
today I contact one of my another friend who met the same situation about his Toyama knife purchased from JNS. This friend is located in Canada and he purchase the Toyama on black friday, after he received the knife he found the knife was bent at the tip side . so he took picture of toyama 7, 8,9, listed below and talked with maxim for months, and then return it back on January 2020.
Then, the holder of this knife in China placed the order to JNS and got the same one in Feb.
I think is very easy to tell the tip side is bent if you look picure toyama 7 and 8.
the evidence that they purchased the same knife is picture Toyama9 and 4, you can find out that the pattern of the cladding is exactly the same.
I think Maxim did some fix job on this knife, but the job was not perfectly done.
