Hello all, it's been quite some time but I've moved from the busy restaurant lifestyle to a busy corporate dining environment. That being said, I would like to let go of some beauties that have not had the love they deserve. A couple are those hard to find, hard to get pieces, and the others are ones that caught my eye. I forget if other forms of payment are allowed other than Paypal, but accepting Paypal, Zelle, Venmo. All prices shipped, insured within US. For your consideration:

Shigefusa kasumi wa-gyuto 240mm: $1150 SOLD
Length: 245mm
Height: 50.5mm
Weight: 208g

Length: 235mm
Height: 49mm
Weight: 315g

2. There are rumors that he’s retiring soon…so people are snatching them up when possible

Bro is 83-84 yo and was some months off due to hip and lumbar problems. Recovered. Back to forging, not sure if part time or full or here and there. Watched a video of him hand hammering some blade. Looked in great shape for being 83-84.
 
bump, taking best offers on remaining shig and catcheside. please no lowballs!
 
Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen catcheside do full Damascus instead of just cladding; it’s predictably stunning. Someone is going to be happy to avoid the multi year wait for his customs!
 
Shig has been snatched up. Only remaining knife is the Catcheside. Still taking best (reasonable) offers. I have it listed for the price I paid back in 2016.
 
another bump, i hope we can find this beautiful knife a new home :)
