| Joe: I'll let benching experts respond!.... I'm sure you've noticed that Ki Utsuri are generally more orange than yellow. "Ki" covers a range of shades. At some point the orange becomes sufficiently deep that it shifts into Hi. Benching teams draw the line with perfect accuracy. (By definition!)I would dearly love to see a Ki Utsuri as truly yellow as the yellow of the Akame Kigoi JR posted above.... a true Ki Showa would be awesome IMO. I saw a pic of one for sale a few years ago on a well-known auction site, but there were orange specks and everything else about the fish was mediocre at best. Still, the impact was striking if you did not look closely. (I expect it turned orange and junky in no time.) |
