For sale is a Nihei SLD Nashiji 150mm Petty, with chestnut handle and ebony wood ferrule. The nashiji finish leads to a mirror polish finish (see pics), and the spine and choil are polished as well. This is a catch and release, as I picked this up on BST because I like the line (I have a 240mm...

For sale is a Kagekiyo Ginsan 240mm Gyuto with original walnut handle. Fit and finish on this knife is excellent, with chamfered spine and choil, and a nice migaki finish that blends into a hazy finish before the core steel (see pics). Stropped once on a Chosera 3000, never sharpened. Letting...

I'm in the Shigeki Tanaka camp as well for ginsan at that price point. I have the 210mm gyuto and 150mm petty, and they could be the only set of knives I use. Good cutters without being fragile, and easy to sharpen.

Eager to see your progress @esoo . I've been thinking about a DIY handle too, but haven't taken the plunge. This thread will certainly be helpful in getting me there!

Not in, but kudos to you for the generosity!

Congrats to @WildBoar and thanks again @OwlWoodworks for the generosity!

Wow that's stunning. Count me in please!

Thanks for your thoughts @tostadas Sounds like a decent performer, and considering the save30 promotion, it's less than half the cost of an Ashi. Good thing the promotion's over though, otherwise my restraint would really be tested...

I was looking at that line, how would you compare it against an Ashi Ginga stainless?

From the pics it looks like the kasumi finish. Another way to tell them apart is by touch - the suiboku finish has a polished smooth feel too it, while the kasumi finish has a sandpaper smooth feeling (as @blokey mentioned).

They're available at Carbon Knife Co as well: https://carbonknifeco.com/products/tetsujin-blue-2-metal-flow-gyuto-210mm-taihei-rosewood-handle
