Mine just came in yesterday. As is always with KHHI blades, you expect it to be damn good, and it still surpasses expectation. I have several wakis I love from Hanbon and TrueKatana, but this is on a different level. Instantly went into my top 5 blades I own. Lighter and more nimble than I expected, honestly.
