I'm selling my 270mm Okada suminagashi sakimaru sujihiki. This takobiki-shaped sujihiki is excellent at slicing raw and cooked meats. First, the thick grind is well-suited for those kinds of tasks; second, the short height does a great job of reducing drag; third, the thick grind and no-taper spine keep the knife extremely stiff and surprisingly heavy, despite the short height; and fourth, the curved profile makes for a super smooth slicing motion with a long effective edge. All those characteristics combine to make this a great meat slicer, although I wouldn't recommend it for general-purpose work given the grind and heel height. I'm letting it go only because I've realized that I prefer sujihiki with more wear-resistant steels.
I'm the original owner of this knife, and it's been used in a home environment, mostly on cooked meats. It hasn't been sharpened outside of an original sharpening from the retailer, although it's probably due for one. This retails for $270, and I'm selling it for $220 USD including shipping within the US. I'm happy to ship internationally if we split shipping fees.
I've misplaced my calipers, so I'm just going to list the height, length and thickness specs provided by CKTG, where I bought the knife:
Spine thickness: ~3.3mm at handle, no taper
Height: ~28mm at heel
Edge length: ~261mm
Weight: 173 grams
Handle: Octagonal rosewood with pakkawood ferrule
Steel: Suminagashi/Damascus carbon clad white #2
I'm selling a few other knives right now as well, and if you buy 2 or more, I'll knock off $25 for each knife bundled.
Of course, let me know if you have any questions, or would like to see additional pictures.
