It is raining Shigs tonight!
Right?! One in my price range at the right time. What where the odds on that? I have been wanting to upgrade from my cheapie nakiri for a while now. This is just the ticket!
I kind of feel like I won the lottery.

You definitely got a steal on this one, and that saya is beautiful =)
Glad you were able to secure this. I was going jump on it but I hate plastic ferrules and wasn't sure if this one had one. Plus I have a 180 Kato nakiri and don't know if you can really improve on that.
I hate plastic ferrules too. Doing a quick search and it looks like it is horn (fingers crossed). Hmm... 180 Kato nakiri... <insert drool emoji>.
This one has a horn ferrule, the plastic ferrule ones have Kanji on the left hand side and are oval handles not d-handles. I have a couple of those coming that I'm going to re-handle =)
Nice, thanks for the confirmation and where are these plastic ferrule ones found? After a tasteful re-handle... sweet deal for a Shig.
The plastic ferrule ones I found from a shop based in Sanjo, though Sam at Buttermilk also had some. I'm guessing he sourced them direct from the shop.
I'm planning on getting simple but well made japanese either octagonal or d-handles made from ho-wood. Keep it as simple as possible =)
