Anyone own/has owned one?
I have the Ti scale, 17 layer ZDP-189 model in the mail, but is curious bout y'all having any experience with Katsu knives.

Re: Katsu knives
They have some intriguing designs, to my eye anyway, however Katsu appears to be YACKM.*

Re: Katsu knives
I've never heard of them. But I'd be very interested to hear your report when you get it, Larry. Please post. :)
Re: Katsu knives
I wonder if it's a Japanese-owned company based in Hong Kong/China, for lower manufacturing costs. 'Katsu' is a Japanese name.

Re: Katsu knives
I got it today, very smooth, very Rockstead-y and scary sharp. I'm happy with it!

Re: Katsu knives
Apparently the blades are manufactured, or at least heat treated in Japan. Regardless of origin, it's a smooth nice knife with scary sharp convex ground ZDP-189 blade.

Re: Katsu knives
Yeah, what matters is the quality, and I must say, that’s a beautiful knife there!
