#1:
Shig. Nashiji Funayuki 165mm (actual edge 167mm) with custom handle
Thinned & modified from Shig KU that was a dog, a real performer now, cuts great, on par with my TF, & looks bad ass.
Thinning & Mod thread here, a major project that went on for 3 -weeks:
https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/shigefusa-santoku-re-profile-to-funayuki.45081/
Slightly tipped during final sanding as seen in the photo, it was minor & did not affect my use, so I left it as is.
Specs:
48mm high/167mm edge, 167g
Spine: 7mm; 4/2.1/1.2mm. Grind: high shinogi mild convex. Edge: freshly sharpened, paper cutting 9/10.
#2:
Toyama 210mm stainless clad Gyuto. Out performed both my Shig Kasumi & thinned TF Maboroshi during my recent Shig 210 Kasumi review.
Specs:
51mm/213mm, 159g. Spine: 4.5mm; 3.5/2/1.0. Grind: low shinogi convex, mild to none s-grind. Edge: sharpened 1 month ago, paper cutting 8/10.
Minor scratches from normal use, nothing major. Slight improvements made to enhance user experience, which includes: 1, added TF finger notch as the neck was too short for finger grip; slight sanding to smooth out the ridge on D handle as it was too sharp; slight reduction on handle length by 1/4” as it was too long.
Asking $335 each, + shipping, prefer US.

to new potential buyer, the Toyama will blow you away upon first cut, like it did to me.
