Never been a fan of VG10, how does it perform so far? I would love to hear your opinion once you put it through the stones

That is a very sweet looking knife. I have been intrigued by his work. Would love to hear more about it.

The sandwich looks very yummy too!

Thanks!

I haven't used the knife a great deal yet but so far it is very nice. I will try to remember to report back once I have used it more.

It's a fun knife to use, is that the 240?

Yes, it was the one on closeout due to fit and finish issues on the top of the handle. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. There's a few little pits on the tang as it runs through the handle, but I'll live with that for getting it for $55.

I saw that, looks stunning. When you want to post IG links you have to remove everything but the “Bln4kmBAIDZ”. I hope that helps.

I was wondering when these were going to start showing up. Mine doesn’t arrive until Monday. Looks good with the laurel handle!

Haha I am a newbie when it comes to taking pictures and writing about them. I am super stoked although kind of looking at the grind and it doesn't seem the exact same. I am curious to see how it will cut differently.

Congratulations.
Wow...that was fast. Plus I thought you missed out this time round.
What are you comparing the grind to?

I don't think Konosuke has made a Fujiyama knife with AS. Perhaps you mean Blue 1?

I agree that, based on your choil shot, the grind looks way more like an MM than the older Blue Fujiyama with shinogi line. Oddly, the choil shots Mark posted for the knives looks a bit different...in fact, they look like they have a shinogi line transition like the old ones. But then again, the Laurel picture also seems to have a black ferrule, which neither of the recent knives features, although I guess this could just be a highly reflective shadow effect of some type of buffalo horn.

Regardless, the grind looks quite nice. (Edit: removed inaccurate statement about vintage carbon series. I have some confusion over Morihiro as the "M" in some lines versus the "new" smith mentioned here whose name also appears to start with "M" according to Kosuke's recent naming method and the FM and MM lines.)
