Shigefusa Kasumi wa-Gyuto 210mm
Brand new never used, got from JNS last week. I've been bitten by the jnat bug and need to make some room I mostly bought this for the sake of having yet another Shigefusa as a collection piece given the current markets, and to see how fast I can make it thru checkout when I get Maksim's emails lol.
Toyama Noboroki 昇鯉 Kasumi Mukimono 135mm
Got this around Xmas and liked using it like a Parer to peel things, problem is I have a lot of parers/pettys already so am letting this one go with the shig. I'm a lefty but was able to use no problem off the board if I cut with the blade up and towards me, as i often do anyways with parers/pettys.
Hasn't been used much as I took off the handle shortly after getting to polish the choil, plus the original handle has a mothball like smell when wet (also noted by some others with Toyama knives). I've tried all sorts of things to get rid of the smell such as sealing with board butter, which may have helped, but also turned it darker. Currently the handle isn't attached, as I was going to get a custom, but then decided why not just epoxy on the octagonal handle from my Tsukasa Hinoura petty and eliminate the machi gap (tang slot on the Hinoura handle is larger, so burn in isn't an option), but could also include the original handle if you prefer to burn it in. I haven't put the octagonal handle on yet (too many projects going on at the same time), but could do that if requested.
I'll have to upload pics of this one sometime as I don't have any current ones, it still has the blue painters tape on it and is sitting on my bench. Hopefully I can do this early in the week at the latest.
Price
The shig sold for about $525USD and came up as ~$540 with the DKK currency conversion fees, and the Toyama is listed as a tad over $190.
I'd prefer to sell these together to save on shipping, but if you have something else in mind I suppose we could discuss; could sell for $670.00USD (or equivalent in CAD) with shipping, insurance, PayPal fees, etc. to Canada/conus, and many other places depending on the shipping method used, although we'd have to ensure the shipping and insurance are acceptable.
If interested please send me a PM, and then we'll take it from there.
Thanks for looking
