I have several Kiku knives and a cool wee pair of OTF scissors 
I have also had the pleasure of talking with him in person. He is a great guy and
makes some great knives too. It's also worth looking out for his laminate steel knives with the "super gold" core by the way, good stuff that.

blades look gorgeous for sure, too bad I cant afford any of the ones on japaneseknifedirect.com. (Even if I did finally amass the right amount, the unique models I'm looking at would sell out
).
But in all seriousness though, besides the high prices given the knives are custom and look stunning, how does OU-31 steel compare in toughness with other steels? (1095, INFI, 5160, VG-10, etc?). The advertisements say its the steel "other" steelmakers want to achieve, because its more homogenous or something, and deemed "Micro fine steel."
Just looking for some expansion on this, thanks!
