Price information on a Shigefusa

Recently upon my search for a Shigefusa, I came across this site : https://www.dictum.com/en/knives/ja...getable-knife?ftr=shigefusa_1_3_97.17_1_12_12

For a 160mm Usuba in Kataeji, Just wondering if anyone else has experience with this website, and the credibility with the legitimacy of this site selling Shigefusa's. Wondering if its worth $475 USD, considering the market for Shigefusa's out there...

Thanks in advance

It's a well known and reliable website over here in EU. However, they do tend to mess around a bit with knife appellations — they will call a sujihiki a yanigiba or, such in this case, a nakiri an usuba. I would advise contacting them before committing to a purchase to make sure you are getting want you think you are getting.

ive bought there several times and had no problems.

Thanks guys, Seems like they have mislabled it as a Nakiri. Wow, All of the knives are gone already! that's surprising to see.

Yeah dictum is great, I've found some great deals there

I met the owner at the Atlanta Blade show once. I told him about a problem (U.S. Customs) I had with an order and he went right back to Germany and straightened it out for me. I was impressed.

I got some knife making supplies from dictum - they do not have too large of a choice of wood, but all I bought was first rate.

Sounds good that there are many positive reviews! I look forward into purchasing items from them over seas as their items seems to be reasonably priced!

Ended up picking up a Shig Nakiri for $426 What a steal!

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. I purchased a shig Nakiri 210mm 4 years ago for $180 used(pretty much ootb though) and it's best feature was it's good looks.

Sorry. Didn't realize you were talking about a fancy Damascus shig. Price makes more sense. Atleast for those that like shigs I guess.

It's one of the only nakiris I've ever owned. KU finish. It was a thick heavy knife. Pretty though. I had to let it go.
