Lum Chinese / Endura / Endela
Re: Whither Nishijin?
My first preference is the Kiwi of course. It's an exquisite design, right up there with the Chief. I think it's made in the wrong factory though.
So, if it's to be a new model split the difference and make it an Endela.

I would like to voice my opinion that regardless of the model, I think it should be a Japanese steel showcased in this beautiful Japanese handle material. Super Blue, SG2, ZDP-189, HAP40, VG-Max (pretty please Shun?), something from the same place. My model preferences would be either an Endela or a Delica, though a Stretch could be cool as well.

Re: Whither Nishijin?
Slightly on or off topic, but I really think these small Japanese makers need to start cooperating with each other more. Something along the lines of MKM in Italy. We could see some really interesting combinations coming out of Japan if they did.
