...The Gihei seems to also come highly recommend from you all. After looking into it a lot this one is fastly heading to the top of my list. I just haven't had any really experience with B#2. I have read a bit about it and the knife it self. Seems like it's a true beast. Has anyone had any first hand experience with the knife? How was the edge retention? How does it feel going through food? Does it make you smile when you use it? All things I want to know lol...
The Gihei is a true beast with excellent performance and edge retention. Sharpens easily and takes a scary sharp edge. One of the best bang for the buck knives you will ever buy. Yes it will make you smile when you use it!

"Arrogantly, I provide a quote from a recent recommendation..'Think beefy brilliance, enormous heft that disappears via the balance point, well executed distal taper and a drool-worthy rendition of blue steel. There is so much wabi-sabi, handmade character in that knife it's not even funny, but she performs like a God-tier acrobat on steroids. My only caveat is that if hefty knives don't suit your fancy, she ain't gonna be your style.' Nuff said. Hell of a knife. Dollar for dollar, one of my better purchases."
