I'm a home cook, have no experience with suji's, and have actually never held one in my hand other than a small kikuichi years ago. Nevertheless, I'd like to be in on this simply to be able to hold it in my hand, admire the level of craftsmanship, and trace it for future reference :) Any comments I'd be able to make would probably be monosyllabic, like, oooooooooooooo, aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh and wwwwhhhhhheeeeeeeeee. Should you consider me seriously, I'm smack dab in the middle of North Carolina.
 
Wow thanks for a great response Guys.
re eschef. I'm really wanting to keep Customs to a minimum on this one, even though I would have loved you to try it. So U.S mainland only.

tgraypots, If your in the market for a Suji and know how to look after it. I'm happy to put you on the list. But you must appreciate its a fair bit of risk for me sending a knife abroad and as such am keeping it fairly limited and trying to get straight down to the business of working feedback/future customers..

Johndoughy glad to have you on board.

Regards postage. Thanks for the tip Dave, i'll remember that. I have made an extra slot for Mark of burl source and he is going to post it back with a burl order. Thanks for agreeing to this Mark as I know you have the postage thing sorted. I'll send it out as a Sample so there won't be any mix up with taxes.
I think I'll send it in a tube. Not a very pretty presentation case but will keep the weight and costs down. Was toying with the idea of making a box for it...but it could get heavy.....
As I say if you are in the uk and would be interested in a future pass around drop me a line so I remember.
 
After you have your final list, I would also juggle the order to make the most efficient route. If there are any NYC guys on the list, I can hand deliver the knife, much like the TK59/El Pescador socal duo.
 
All things considered, I'm gonna have to pass. Thanks for the opportunity though.

I've just given this the chinese 12K and nagura progression. (Playing with my new toys). Followed by chrome ox. I've ditched the micro bevel and just given it a 11/12 degree per side. No box for it I'm afraid. I was hoping to get the leather lady to make a sheath for it. But she is not very clued up about sheaths yet. So will have to work on that one with her for the future. But I will double tape the edge and will be snug and secure inside a cardboard postal tube.

Thats nearly everyone. I'll pop you all an e-mail later so you have my details too. And get this off to Johnny today, before I start fiddling again.:D
 
Waiting for the feedback from this excitedly, wish I'd been able to try it out before it's journey. Last time I saw it the grind was only half done but even then it just felt like it wanted to cut things.
 
Sorry Tom. But there will be more. I really enjoy grinding the longer narrower type knife. I really appreciated your input on this knife. So will be able to hold you partly responsible if everyone hates it:D
I posted this today folks......:biggrin:
 
Lol, happy to take the blame, if it becomes an embarassment i'm happy to take it off your hands so you don't have to see it again :D

Arrived today, no problems. More to come, have to go to work now.
 
Wow. I now see that I didn't really comprehend how long that handle is, haha! Still looks very nice, though. :)
 
yeah, when I saw the pics I thought "oh that's nice looking"...then I saw it was 300mm...I was like "*** that handle has to be HUGE."

Very cool though. Interesting to see how it balances out.
 
It a two hander, for mammoth steaks! Probably need a bigger knife for that though. I hovered near the saw for a second, but decided to leave it long, for balance and I liked the look. I'll be interested to hear if it gets in the way at all or causes any problems.
 
Went to Sachem Allison's restaurant last night to hand over the suji in person.
 
Thanks very much Johnny, great comparison shots.

Pesky lives near TK, I would imagine they would hand this off in person rather than ship it.
 
Cheers Johnny, So where is the knife? Mr doughy could have it by now.

Son, no worries, I know how it is to be doing everything on your own, hot food/metal. Not that different, apart from the taste.:Ooooh:
