Beautiful knife with every bit the craftsmanship typical of this artisan. The balance point is just forward of the handle which is nice. My only nit pick would be the handle- while aesthetically pleasing is thin for this weight of knife and glossy (slippery). I imagine the 240 mm would be even more so. Overall I recommend this knife, but a more basic handle would definitely make it more usable.

I would lying if said I've been a long time admirer of Yoshikane Hamono. After using this knife, I was blown away by the OOTB edge. Moreover, the fit and finish is superb. These guys really "get it". I am now a big Yoshikane fan!
