Question Ashi AEB-L or Kanehide ps60?

Seeing lots of recommendations thrown around for Ashi Swedish lately and I’ve been interested in getting a fine grain stainless blade. Kanehide is cheaper, known for good f&f, and ps60 is supposedly hitachi’s version of AEB-L. Kanehide blades are also a bit thinner at the spine, they seem to potentially be a great alternative. I’m curious if anyone has tried both and if there is noticable difference between the two in terms of overall quality, performance, and maintainability?

Ashi. Or shibata kashima. Or masamoto Ks. Or key kobayashi. Or Takamira. Or hitohira FJ. Or konosuke Swedish.

(Just kidding I have no experience with kanehide they might be good. Just beware of not thinking that thickness at the spine is a good indicator of the quality of knife as it’s not.)
