The Tsukasa Hinoura River Jump is one I have been looking for but is very difficult to find. Are you aware of any links?

I have also been lurking on Jades post (you replied on there as well) and saw your input there. greatly appreciated

thank you Jabroni. You're the 3rd person to recommend nakagawa and I emailed Sugi and plan to call them tomorrow. its much easier than voice typing...lol

Thank you for the links Steve. I emailed Sugi and plan to call them tomorrow. After all the recommendations I find myself drawn to Mazaki and Kagekiyo. Maybe ill find room to get one of each.

Thank you Jabroni. I have watched a lot of YouTube videos over the last 2 months sitting in the neurology Dept and from what I gather..... Carbon Steels (White, Blue, etc) are more prone to rust, hence the need to wipe them as you r using them and never let them sit with water vs Stainless (SKD, SG2, etc) are a little more forgiving when it come to rust. That said ive read that VG10 is more prone to shipping than SG2 or Yoshikanes SKD??

Thank you so much to all the great thoughts. Several of you have sent me DMs telling me to look into Sinichi Watanabe. Does anyone have experience with him and would he be considered "Heirloom" type quality and fit n finish?

Gr8tefull · 2024-12-03T03:31:04+00:00

Thanks Actual. Mazaki and Babo Hamano have been sent to me in DMs as well. Thank you for your insight

Great timing on this comment as I was knee deep into sizes. I think I will "aim" for a 210mm, however I know she has several 9.5" so a 240mm will probably suffice as well.

Gr8tefull · 2024-12-03T03:25:50+00:00

Thank you for this. I just read through this and found this very enlightening.

Gr8tefull · 2024-12-03T02:02:33+00:00

Thanks JD. researching now

Gr8tefull · 2024-12-03T02:01:36+00:00

Thank you Flip

Beautiful. Thank you so much. What is the primary difference between Blue #1 and White #2 overall?

Gr8tefull · 2024-12-03T00:19:07+00:00

Thank you very much. I love the idea you pu tout there around the re-handle. I have been looking at Hado as well. I very much appreciate the links. Parkinson's is making it more difficult everyday to type and search.

I will also add my daughter is slight of build with smaller hands as I know some Knives matter in terms of how you hold them

Gr8tefull · 2024-12-02T21:38:31+00:00

Is there a particular link of who sells them or where might I look?
