Finish on your finest stone. Followed by 400-800 grit sandpaper from heel to tip. Or tip to heel. Whatever you fancy.I would be the don't care camp as well.
Really? I know they can be thought of as concave rather than "flat", is that the sense you mean?I don't think of Yoshi as having a wide bevel, certainly not in the sense that Heiji has.
So you’re finally ready to part with the Zenso?Rolling through the posts I was developing a response when I saw this:
Sums it up pretty well for me. Want a laser? Buy a GG (or Tad, or SIH). Want a midweight cutter? Yoshi. I've tried a lot of Yoshi and the Amerikiri SKD is my favorite.
Embrace the flat.
I think the weird thing is the term wide bevel doesn't have a crisp definition. Unlike the wide bevel on my Yoshikane . Mine is the H&K SKD version bought in 2021. Visually you can't tell but it has a pretty crisp shinogi, just not as crisp as say my Tanaka Kyuzo, but more crisp than my old S Tanaka ginsan. It's also a relatively flat grind and maybe only a hair convex, if at all.I don't think of Yoshi as having a wide bevel, certainly not in the sense that Heiji has.
Hey, that's the best part of the whole thing!Yea. But I may need to buy one more at some point... just to quadruple check.
Just wondering?Ha! Not in this lifetime.

Akifusa will be just as good for the job for a lot less $ and with even better edge retention, absolutely a great knife you'll be happy with, but just (quite) a bit less special.
This knife looks amazing ! What is it?I haven’t tried the Gesshin Ginga yet, had a very close chance in trying it tho, Yoshikane does have that sudden stop feeling when push cut at the heel, not suitable for rocking, But I mainly use this knife for slicing tasks so it doesn’t bothers me, It still has the sharpest OOTB edge I’ve tried up to date.View attachment 162046
