Shig 210, shig 240, shig 240 laser, shig 270. Each has its own personality. The 210 has been polished with finger stones and I love it but has probably been devalued as a result. The 240 is a Marko so it has to go to the grave with me. 240 laser, the best cutter by a slim margin - will probably sell. The 270; well, this is just a big solid knife that cuts well. My favorite, however, is a Doi 270 yani. (A Japanese guy recently told me it might be a fake because it is too heavy.... guess I'll have to dump it for $50!)
