Currently at the lowest price I've seen on Amazon AU.
I was originally going to get this before Christmas, when it was selling for around $105, then it dropped to ~$95 but sold out soon afterwards. Since Boxing Day until yesterday, it was around $150, sometimes with an extra $10-$15 for delivery. But today? $90.79. Was $91.77 a couple of days ago but Bogstation mentioned it was a cheaper price now.
How does it differ from other knives?
Well according to Global Kitchen Japan where they're selling it for $133 + delivery, it has "32 layers of different steels" which makes it a 'true' damascus vs ones with etched or lasered on designs. In before someone tells me that it's not from the Damascus region and therefore can't be true damascus. I get it, I'm just saying it's got 32 layers of steel.
Okawarishoukai says it uses VG-10 steel as well.
I saw the Fujitora Saku Gyuto on backorder, and thought this was a good alternative for those that like the aesthetics - irrespective of whether it's functionally the same or not, or want it delivered sooner.
Had to do it, Don't tell my wife !!!
