Knives & Stones Syousin Knife Blocks on Amazon

Hi Guys,

I have lowered the Amazon price of my Syousin blocks ($79 now). I want to clear them as I will no longer stock them anymore. I have moved all my AU stock and once the Amazon stock is gone, they will be gone forever.
These are seriously cool blocks that are designed for tall gyutos and chukas. Please grab them while you still can.

These are FBA stock, and it is such a hassle for me in AU to organize this type of stock so I may just stop for good.

Great block at a great price. Pity you've already moved all your Oz stock. Amazon's not an option down here. :cry:

Just picked one up! Have always wanted to get one of these but never got around to it. Couldn't pass it up at this price! Thanks again James.

Same here. There were 6 left.

Ordered one also =)

Tempting ... Tempting. Anyone care to push me over the edge?

Same here. There were 6, edit 4, edit 3 left.

Are slots wide enough to hold a Deba?

Description says slots are 5mm. I don't have a deba but I imagine it is wider than that at the widest point? (probably also depends)

Would these hold a thick knife like a kato?

5mm won't handle a deba. Handle most workhorse gyutos no issues. They wont ship to canada time to do a special ringed gingee variant

Unfortunately, no.

Block is made of wood. I have lengthened and widened slots on my old one to fit any knife. Get some files and sand away! Easy peasy japanesey!

Nice tip Chicago! Just pulled the trigger myself.

Dave,
With minimal effort you could custom fit any knife with a file and a little elbow grease.

One year later and still love mine! Grab em while you can!

Down to 1! Last call!

Down to 1! Thanks for the support guys!

it has no problem holding a kato, and with a little filing, it can hold super thick necks like shigs.

I don't have a Shig, but if I did, I don't think I'd want to file down the neck!

Too late now anyway

damn.. should have picked one up

Mine was delivered today on Sunday! Big surprise! As before, the katos and Shigs need a little a little sanding of their respective knive slots - only slightly though. Took only a few minutes to mark and file the slots for the thicker spines on these knives. Very happy with one.

Wow. Missed this thread. All that remains are 2 from independent sellers asking $327 USD. Way late to this game

What? That is insane!!! I'd part with mine for $326!! [emoji6]

These need to come back around again. I'm spending hundreds of dollars for sayas when what I really want is this knife block.

Well, just like your post, maybe one in a year someone will buy one, but Amazon is not willing to hold it for this long.

That's a bummer. I'd love at least one. I'm surprised they don't move faster.

These are all long gone. Keep your eyes peeled for new ideas, they’re not difficult to make..... just have to find someone willing to make to right piece. It happens every now and then.
