If the Kochi comes back in stock and sell out when I'm on vacation in August and have limited internet access I would be so sad
You're right, I was thinking of the 180mm Gengetsu petty. I'm guessing that's no longer part of the line though.we never made a 180 gyuto in that series. There is a 180 k-tip santoku though. I dont generally like the 180mm size for a gyuto... it kind of defeats the purpose of what a gyuto should be able to do.
yeah... a while back we had to change the way we went about having them made, and part of that limited what kinds of shapes and sizes we could do sadly
Thanks. Is there a process to reserve one?i dont have any shipping notification from the craftsman yet, so its hard to say for sure when things will be back in
Sorry I missed this. I may be selling my 240. If you're interested send me a PM. I can't send you a PM for some reason.Wow! You may have just changed my mind! With the unpredictable waiting period for a V2 this makes those nashiji very very tempting..... what’s the grind like on your gyutos?? Tip performance? They look to be nice and sturdy, just like I like! If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the weight estimate on your particular 240?
Ashy, that’s a beautiful knife. Simple, no nonsense design. Glad I bought it, it’s found a happy home!I like them both for different reasons. Both perform really well, but the migaki is lighter and thinner. A bit less food release, but it just flies through everything. I didn't want to choose, that's why I have both. If I had to, it would probably be the nashiji because I prefer thicker and heavier blades. Again, that's a personal preference.
WAKUI MIGAKI 240
sadly, that is not something we do. Restock notification is the best option we have.Thanks. Is there a process to reserve one?
I noticed the original listed dimension is 55mm at heel. Have they normalized to be shorter nowadays? All the recent bst listings measured around 50mm.sadly, that is not something we do. Restock notification is the best option we have.
Curious to hear this as well. Interesting that this may have changed.I noticed the original listed dimension is 55mm at heel. Have they normalized to be shorter nowadays? All the recent bst listings measured around 50mm.

There seem to be several threads from different makers that all seem to be changing their profiles often reducing the height of the heels of the knives. I wonder what is driving the changes.yeah the biggest appeal of the kochi (among many) was a tall heel height.
Any thoughts on why makers might be shifting to lower heel hight, less flat designs, etc. Seems to be in a lot of threads where forum members are looking to find earlier / older versions of knives with taller and flatter profiles.I'm curious about the Kochi height as well. Really hoping the next batch would churn out monster ~53mm gyutos.

@MarkC oh no, I am not qualified to answer that question. I bought my first gyuto last month lol.
Mine (Migaki) is 54.3mm.I'm curious about the Kochi height as well. Really hoping the next batch would churn out monster ~53mm gyutos.
It's from this batch.@MrHiggins nice! How old is it?

Hard to tell. It's as reactive as any iron clad knife. It gives me no special problems. It's a great knife. I went on something of a knife selling purge lately and I never considered putting this one on up.@MrHiggins still nice and tall though. Do you find the cladding reactive compared to the core steel? Thanks again!
