Seems like Ryusen is busy these days. @GB, no worries about the knife, you'll love it!

I think when I get a handle replaced I will see if Jay Fisher is available. Those knives of his are sweet! Not sure if gem stones are the most praticle but Darn do they look good.

Well, I took the plunge and ordered the Hattori HD 240mm and the 135mm petty. The Gyuto is out of stock and won't ship for a month. Even without being made by Hittori himself, I never heard a bad thing about it espically from people who own it. I can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for all the...

I love the Hattori KD knife. Had one been available I might have impluse bought it. I still have it on my 'to do' list and may end up grabbing one in the future. It seems to be everything I was looking for (except the price) but I think it's too nice to pass on.

The Tanaka I saw was on Epicurean Edge for $630 bucks. I actually didn't think of E-bay. :)

Thanks for the feedback so far, looks like a good start. While I don't have to have suminagashi, I would perfer it. They look to beautiful to me and for the price range I am looking at...Why not? If it's a nice blade at least. Someone told me today I should 'buck up' and look at the Tanaka. I...
