Nigara B2 240 honyaki
Just saw this in the new arrivals. Thin behind the edge and priced right. Tempting. Install a custom handle and let the fun began.

That's a gem for sure. Killer price. Even if you went crazy with exotic materials on the handle you are coming to the in under $ from most other honyaki blades. Too thin for me, otherwise it would all ready be in route.

I'd be ALL OVER THIS if it wasn't beyond my preferred length and current budget. To me, this is about as close as one can get to an Ashi Konosuke W2.

Re: Nigara B2 240 honyaki
Well, the grind in particular – it is hard to find honyaki that are so thin because they are hard to forge thin and grinding them down after is very hard on the machines – but also the size, height, and general profile. I've never come close to comparing them side-by-side, but in terms of what kind of "feel" I would expect , I think it would be similar.

Re: Nigara B2 240 honyaki
Are these water quenched (as in Mizu Honyaki) or are they Abura Honyaki (oil quenched), please? Hate when maker doesn't specify these things clearly...
