Looking to get some help from some Shig experts on the forum. I was very generously gifted a Shigefusa KU 165 santoku with a custom handle. The knife is beautiful, however, upon closer inspection, I noticed the Kanji on the knife was completely different from any of the Shigs I have seen. All the Shigs I have seen online or on the forums have the same Kanji, but this looks to be completely different.
Can I get some help to figure out if this is legit or a someone is passing off another knife as a Shig? I don't want to say where and from whom this was purchased, but I will respond to PMs.
