Were the 240 kitaeji sold already ?

 

[AFKitchenknivesguy]

We’re the 240 kitaeji sold already ?

It was a 270mm apparently, I missed it but already have one.

 

[Gregmega]

Ya I am right there with you. In my heart I feel like $900 for any knife is overkill (for me - chef, user). And I’m also currently v underemployed so that is ultimately the determining factor

How much was the 210 kasumi?

Nvmd - saw it. Sheesh. I love shig but dang that’s crazy.

 

[ExistentialHero]

Anybody catch the price on the 270? It was gone before I got to the site.

I believe it was $1734 and $1387 including and excluding tax

For the Mazaki folk there's a 270mm B#1 damascus at Protooling

And only US$2400. Whata giveaway price LOL. I see the premium handle is included on this beauty. Deserves better.

PT are notorious for getting the details wrong. I'd want to double check if its B#1. They even made a mistake with the handle material

From what I understand, the steel type is on the blade (and kiri box). Calling @KenHash to confirm, but left is BS#1, right is BS#2:

They’re about as rare as kikuryu from the math I can surmise.

Genuinely interested in the numbers please

 

[Gregmega]

Genuinely interested in the numbers please

I’m sure there’s a couple other people more qualified than me to say (talkin to you friz)- but from what I’ve seen the number is south of 20. But these days you can pick a shig or kato like an apple off the tree comparatively...

Yes, left is Ao Ichi (blue １) 青壱　（uses the Ichi 壱 form instead of 一)
and right is Ao Ni (blue 2) 青ニ

In Kanji the numbers 1, 2 and 3 are written 一、二 and 三。
But these can possibly be altered by the addition of additional lines.
To prevent this another way of writing exists. I haven't seen it on blades before though I may simply
not have noticed...lol.

Sold so fast they couldn’t even put it on the website

I miss the good old days when you could email Dr. Naka and just order any Shig you wanted at a fair price. That’s how I picked up my Kasumi Gyuto and he even threw in a jnat.

Whoa, that's a throw back.

Well I Ask the guy, I could get it but it’s not my cup of tea ( just couldn’t afford it ) and I don’t have a plan to flipped it.
