And I bought one. Could not resist.
 
Thank you !!! your package is on the way already :D
 
Thank you guys !! Only 3 left !

I have put 10 a side for my Knife Sharpening Class, the ones that will not be sold there, going on website too.
 
It never fails to amaze me how popular Shigefusa knives are. I guess people are willing to pay a premium for such great cutters.

Have you become an official supplier of Shigefusa?

A reliable supplier in Europe would be very welcome. I'm shure i could come up with a few Euros to add a shig gyuto to my collection.
 
Freshly used Shigefusa Petty ! I had to kip one for my self too :D
BTW notis how there are no reaction to the onion

Got my petty today, superb FF, a very nice blade it has Moritaka-like profile, with great one piece handle. I am very excited about it, and can't wait to try it for food prep.
 
Thanks !!! :D
Let me know how they are, and some pictures will be apriceated :wink:
 
I can give a bit of a review after I used it tonight.
OOTB the knife was very sharp, I cut 5 lb potatoes, onion, bacon. No smell or discoloration, no wedging in the potatoes, the handle feels very comfortable.
Them blade is wider than petty but did not feel like it is when I used it in hand.
For me this is a great knife.

Forgot to add, the steel is not reactive at all.
 
That's definitely one thing that I never experienced with my Shig either. The steel wasn't very reactive at all. Maybe it's only with the kitaeji versions (?).

I have kasumi gyuto that is not very reactive, and that KU petty is even less so.
 
I just received this little fella and had to test it right away. Cut an onion and it was a smooth effortless experience. Couldn't be more pleased. And yes, no reactiveness what so ever :D
 
Thanks Peco !! I am happy that you like it :D
 
I can't wait to see what I receive next :D
 
Got mine yesterday, sharpest OOTB I've bought. Nice profile too.

I like the handle better than I thought I would.

I've looked at the Heji's with burnt handles ( photos ), for ages, nowI want one more!

Thanks to Maksim for great service.

The more I use this little shig - the more I like it ... just awesome for fine prepwork!
