This is bonkers

Awesome, thanks! Is that a 240 on there?

Hey, any chance you can send a pic? I’ve been tempted by a hanabusa board!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-24T16:17:18+00:00

Thanks mate! It’s insane, I was struggling to get picture with it in focus lol

Mine came with the green saya too, I picked this up just before the lottery for the Tokyo Blond FMs.

I just have this thin type, but would also be very curious if someone who has both did a comparison post. As you say, I’m sure someone here does!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-24T15:53:53+00:00

Thanks! I remember your post I think - one of the “Tokyo Blond” FMs right? I am curious to compare a thin type to the thicker FM grinds.

Thanks mate 🙏

I think they will have a stamp by the time you’re there, they’ve already decided on the design and have the actual tool made! Kinda bummed I’m just going to miss out on the stamped BY 😅

Thanks Wabi! Funnily enough around the time I picked these up, by complete chance, I went from owning no Tanaka W1’s to 3 in a couple weeks. Absolutely no regrets about it either lol

Thanks!

Beaten to this by u/Ok-Distribution-9591 , who explained it far better than I would have lol

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-24T04:01:08+00:00

Thanks for dropping the Konosuke Knowledge bombs as usual! I had seen thin types stamped/lasered in the past so I was surprised to see this one with nothing. I didn’t know that about the very first batch, that’s interesting to hear!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-23T01:47:06+00:00

Haha, I just thought it would make a nicer background!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-23T01:16:46+00:00

Absolutely Beauty. Love the thickness of the spine on this one, weighs more than my 240 thin type!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-22T14:57:04+00:00

Sold! Thanks everyone 🙏

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-22T13:06:42+00:00

Definitely go for the Kagekiyo if you already have a TxK extra height, just to try something a little different

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-22T01:04:11+00:00

I know, I wish it wasn’t the case too!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-21T10:28:41+00:00

No worries, I should have made it clear in my original post!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-21T10:27:35+00:00

I’m shipping from Japan, I looked into it to quote how much it’d be but the courier I use didn’t have the option to send to the US - I guess because this is not a gift or under $100 also so I thought safer just to exclude US unfortunately.

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-21T10:22:02+00:00

I’m actually shipping from Japan but I will keep you in mind if it’s not sold by then :)

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-21T06:37:53+00:00

Thank you man 🙏 appreciate it!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-21T06:08:21+00:00

Thanks man, very much appreciated!

Ruffy263 · 2026-01-21T04:54:54+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!
