Hi all,
What is the width of the Shinbu? Never could understand why that demension is rarely given...
Also where is the balance point of the knife??
Any other feedback on carry or use of the knife?
Thanks in advance

I got one at home. Will post dimensions tonight if nobody does until then.

The balance is towards the handle so it feels it has less chopping power than its weight would suggest. But it's thin edge profile and excellent connection to your hand makes it speedy and a controlled cutter which is good for what it's intended for. However the extensive backward curve makes forward stabbing less ergonomical in your wrist if you employ a normal grip.
 
Glad I could help. Are you thinking of buying one?
Would be cool to get your opinion once you are holding it in your hand.
 
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this blade. I was very interested in this line until the prices were announced.

I can think of a few guys that could make a similar piece for a minimal $$ increase.
