Due to an error on Tsubaya’s part, they sent me a Kikuchiyo Yohei Kasumi instead of a Takada Ginsan Suiboku.
This is a Nakagawa forged, Takada sharpened blade.
It’s a beautiful knife, but I already have a Kikuchiyo Yohei blue 2 Kasumi which is the exact same knife, although the ginsan grind looks just a tad better to my naked eye.
This ginsan kasumi is still stunning, and no patina means it stays beautiful forever.
My heart wants to keep it, but my wallet says no.
Taking a hit on the price, asking$490 $415 shipped CONUS
Handle: Rosewood
Heel Height: 46mm
Spine Thickness at heel: 3mm
Spine thickness 1cm from tip: 0.9mm
Edge Length: 224mm
See imgur link for a video too:
