Great, I remember that the 6500 was with thicker spine than the 8000/8500. Should take an awesome edge.Quote:

SUB stainless. This is the first ever stainless Japanese straight I have ever seen. It is made by Daishi, the characteristic seahorse log can be seen on the blade. The back of the tang has the typical for Daishi ironsand description.
Very nice Stefan, I ran the Hoshiombo over the 20K gave it a shave what a fantastic edge beautiful shave smooth as silk.
Man I love the look of that high Class Stainless Steel razor, that's the second time that one's really popped out to me...great find.....:)
Superb additions Stefan!
My first Kamisori arrived today. It appears to be an NOS Inoue Tōsuke with the original cardboard sleeve over the case. The blade is in beautiful shape. I can't wait to try this one out.
