Deciding to offload this one. It's a fantastic knife, nice and nimble. Touched up the edge once when I received it to get rid of some micro chipping, and fixed a warp in the front 1/3 of the edge.

Looking for basically what I paid for it, $360 + shipping

Actual measurements are around 195x42, 2.7mm spine at the handle with light tapering.

Hey TCK - Listing this one up from my last post.

$660

I’d consider this knife to be in the workhorse grind category, though it’s a bit of a bridge between midweight and workhorse due to the combination of the spine taper and shinogi taper as well.

Have a few stones that I'm no longer reaching for as I've continued to expand my stone collection.

1. Ohira Awasedo - $300

2. Approx. 198x70x23

3. 758g

4. First series of photos

Leaves a nice contrast and has a good feel in use. Originally bought from Aframestokyo. Medium-hard stone. This is honestly a pretty great stone that can pull a really nice finish. Was my first JNAT that I purchased.

2. Shohonzan So-renge suita - $280
   196x57x17
   481g

fairly soft stone - good 1k scratch eraser however def. not scratchless finish. Would serve as a nice transitional stone to finer jnats. Cladding here is mild steel, so not a ton of contrast to pull out regardless of the stone. This did have one toxic / scratchy pocket that I've removed, and it now has no impact to the polish on the knife.

3. Hatanaka Nakayama Tamagoiro Kiita LV 4.5 $280
   160 x 63 x 25
   Per original description - Authentic koppa from Hatanaka. Amazing tamagoiro coloration.

Very hard stone - bought this one to see how I liked harder stones at that level. Turns out I just don’t love super hard stones, so this one is a little too hard for my liking and I've struggled to use it in the past with my knives and geometries. I think it's well suited to fairly flat bevels (not convex or minimal convexity), razors, etc. That said, it can pull out really fine details in the steel with the right progression. Scratches in the polish picture are user error, not representative of the stone.
