I remember about a year ago some guys on here were singing high praises for Kanefusa blades. I took notes and kept them for a later day. I was particularly interested in the Hi-Max which supposedly worked really well as a “combo” blade for sliders. I guess I waited too long to order a few of those. Just got off the phone with Dan at Quinn’s Sharpening Srvc and he checked with Kanefusa. Apparently Kanefusa doesn’t stock that blade and to order now runs almost 4 months and a min order of 5 blades😩
