instead of bothering him about this, maybe someone else could help me out here. What does it mean to be without scales? I do know somewhat that it can be altered because of it, but just wondering in little more depth what exactly is the "scale" part that they speak of, and if anyone knows if mark will for sure add custom to these or they will still come black reg handle?

It means the wood "scales" for the Yo handles are not installed. He did this at Marks request so custom handles can be installed without the expense of Konsuke installing and then Mark just removing the factory handles. They can be converted to Wa handles too if the customer so chooses.

I'm telling the situation to Mark!

(seems to be difficult to proceed different sizes now. I'm sorry..)
I bought these so expect them to show up later this summer.

Sweet. I have a 120 Western W2 petty and it is pretty awesome. I think the HD would be even more convenient given how often I use petty knives on citrus.

It would be cool to have a run with the Konosuke stamp on one side of the blade and hand engraving by Mr. Kawamura on the other!
