Kato standard 240. Mammoth tooth handle by Chef Duy Pham

The additional marking on the blade is called kao I believe, it’s Katos way of designating a blade as perfect.

Neat specs on that steel, looking forward to hearing your reviews of it once done.

It's going to be 1 knife of a 3 part set (I'm only purchasing the Gyuto), & it's going to be on exhibit at Blade before it comes to me. It'll have an amboyna burl handle with copper accents & 1095 damascus ferrule.
Very cool! What's the CTS-204 steel usually used for? Looks like you can get Spyderco knives in CTS-204.

Ya know, I'm new to CTS-204 myself. The maker I ordered from usually uses 1095 as the core, but his damascus guy just started making this absolutely new cts-240 clad stuff (apparently, no-one else makes it)....So he offered it to me at the same price as the 1095 (it's going to be more expensive), as long as I let them show off my knife at Blade show this year. As far as I can tell, the cts-204 *should* take a keener edge than the 1095 & hold up just as well, with some stainless properties to boot. I doubt I'll be able to tell a difference to be honest, I think I'll notice when I have to touch it up on a stone, & it'll probably be quite a while until that needs to happen. What I also love about this maker (Dobbler Handmade) is his handles - he's got a pretty unique design.

No man...you just have impeccable taste!
Right now the FM is, for me, one of the best knives around.
You already have one or two?
I missed the recent whites and I'm kicking myself.
Well done bro'!

Thanks Ray. I've got the 150mm petty, the 210 and 240 gyutos now. Also have the 240 wide bevel and 255 Funiyuki too, all in B2.
Almost grabbed a W#2 also but just didn't have the funds. The FM family is growing!

Well, if I am weak I guess it helps to have good taste too! :mrgreen:

Yep those FM's are da' bomb! Really nice line up mate.
I think the wide bevel is a Fujiyama not an FM. That one is finished by Moriihiro.

I would buy one except I already did.... :D They are a crazy nice knife.
How well they might sell, you would know best. Jikko seems to be a name becoming more popular all the time.
