Kagekiyo Gokujo Sakura (Max)
Very positive initial impressions. Great f&f and balance. Definitely thin and feels nimble, on the shorter end of sakai 240s without a doubt. Very much looking forward to trying it as the grind is convex overall, with a small concave portion ~1cm from the edge.

The resolution isn’t that high for me - zooming in, it looks thin overall but not as thin behind the edge as those warnings in the miura website would suggest - is that fair to say?Kagekiyo Gokujo Sakura (Max)

Haha, no more so than any other laser-ish knifeThe resolution isn’t that high for me - zooming in, it looks thin overall but not as thin behind the edge as those warnings in the miura website would suggest - is that fair to say?
Very interested to hear about this.
On first glance the right face (while cutting) looks almost full concave from the photos.
You have a credit card card handy?

Milan's handle wood choices are, bar none, the best in the business.
Both look superb!2 new knives for abstinence April.
The first is a tetsujin nakiri courtesy of @Simply . My wife oddly loves nakiris so this was an excuse to buy another knife
The second is Takada hamono courtesy of Takada San himself. Was fortunate to be in Japan for a couple of weeks and made a trip one morning from Osaka to Sakai. Super nice guy, he was very sorry that he didn't have more stock but I was glad to pick this one up. 240mm white #2

That looks awesome. I hope you will share your thoughts as you use it.Was lucky to get an @eddworks from his drop last week. I'm just starting on my knife journey and this is my first 240mm length knife and my first knife from a western maker.

What is it?Impulse bought this off @Hauscarl and, after like 2 weeks lost in the befuddled zoo of USPS limbo, it finally showed up today.

Heftier than I expected, but feels good in the hand. Not entirely sure its role in the kit yet.
