Withdrawn Last 240 suji standing: Hinoura AS vs Kagero

[GorillaGrunt]

I have two excellent 240mm sujihiki and really only need one despite telling myself that it’s TOTALLY DIFFERENT because one is a weightier carbon wide bevel and the other is a stainless laser. But every time I pick up the Hinoura it just feels so perfect, which means I don’t need the Gesshin Kagero ... but every time I handle that one it also feels so perfect. Selling whichever and keeping the other. $200 for either shipped in US.

Hinoura AS

Gesshin Kagero, comes with a friction fit saya but it doesn’t actually stay anymore, probably a good idea to drill it and add a pin

Bump

Not in the market for a suji at this time but if I was that Hinoura would be *high* on the list.

Agreed, wide beveled + blue supered = awesome. Stainless though, like a shark with a friggin lazer beam

I can see why you're leaving the choice between them up to fate and to the fickle whims of those in the free market.

Both great knives at great prices. BST has not been kind to sellers lately

If they were 270mm I would have jumped on the Hinoura. GLWS

Is the hinoura stainless clad?

It is as far as I can tell; I’ve decided to hold off on selling probably Until I am back to a normal amount of knife work.
