Sugimoto No 6 Chuka Bocho​

Sale price: $260 $230 $200 SOLD
Photos/video

Steel: Iron clad shirogami #2
Edge length: 221mm
Heel height: 110mm
Spine thickness at handle / heel / midpoint / 1cm from tip: 3.5 / 3.3 / 2.6 / 2
Weight: 454g
Purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sugimoto-Chinese-knife-No-4006/dp/B001TPE08S

Very lightly used – a hint of patina. First owner. Factory edge: never sharpened or stropped. Includes original packaging.

A couple of microchips near the heel which will come out with the first sharpening. See close up photo.

Standard bearer for Japanese-made Chinese-style cleavers. Really cool knife to try. Usually retails for 2x this price, but Amazon JP was running a crazy Bezos special a while back while the Yen was low, and I'm passing on the great deal.

Kagekiyo B1 240 gyuto​

Sale price: $490 $450 $425 SOLD
Photos/video

Blacksmith: Yoshikazu Tanaka
Sharpener: Morihiro Hamono
Steel: Iron clad aogami #1
Edge length: 230mm
Heel height: 49.5mm
Spine thickness at handle / heel / midpoint / 1cm from tip: 4.06 / 3.82 / 2.12 / 0.69
Weight: 161g
Handle: Black urushi
Purchased from Luminaire: https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/kagekiyo-b1-240-gyuto.67766/

Excellent condition. Very lightly used. Sharpened once by previous owner but never by me. Includes urushi saya and packaging.

I've run the gamut of Y Tanaka B1 knives – this and a TxK Extra Height are the last ones standing. It feels smooth and laser-y on the board (as you can see from the choil) but without the brittleness of the TxK. Comparable level of performance to the FMs I've tried, and I give the edge on F&F and attention to detail to the Kagekiyo. The urushi lacquer handle is hard to capture on camera, but maybe the nicest on a J-knife I've tried.

Myojin Riki Seisakucho SG2 210 gyuto​

Sale price: $350 $320 $290 $250 SOLD
Photos/video

Blacksmith: Undisclosed
Sharpener: Naohito Myojin
Steel: Stainless clad SG2
Edge length: 203mm
Heel height: 46.5mm
Spine thickness at handle / heel / midpoint / 1cm from tip: 2.71 / 2.33 / 1.90 / 0.59
Weight: 155g
Handle: Wenge and black horn
Purchased from Homebutcher for $350: https://homebutcher.com/collections/featured-knives/products/myojin-riki-210mm-sg2-gyuto

Lightly used. First owner. Factory edge – never sharpened or stropped. Includes original packaging.

Tiny cosmetic blemish on the edge (can't feel it, so not even a microchip). See close up photo.

Wonderful Myojin convex grind. Stainless. Great edge retention. Nothing much more to add – although if you want to read more, ModRQC wrote a typically in-depth review here. I just reach for 210s so rarely that there’s no point keeping this one

Togashi White 1 240 Sujihiki​

Sale price: $350 $320 $290 $250 SOLD
Photos/video

Blacksmith: Kenji Togashi
Sharpener: Kenya Togashi
Steel: Stainless clad shirogami #1
Edge length: 233mm
Heel height: 38.5mm
Spine thickness at handle / heel / midpoint / 1cm from tip: 2.40 / 2.37 / 2.25 / 0.66
Weight: 180g
Handle: Ebony and black horn
Purchased from Carbon for $475: https://carbonknifeco.com/products/...nless-clad-kasumi-sujihiki-240mm-ebony-handle

Barely used — sliced a steak and cleaned it off. First owner. Factory edge – never sharpened or stropped. Includes original packaging.

Original gyuto-sized handle swapped out for a slightly slimmer and longer one that feels better for a suji. When taking photos, I noticed a few small dings on top edge of horn as pictured.

Personally I love the feeling of wide bevel sujis, and 210/240s are more practical than 270s in tighter spaces. This is a beautiful example of one. I just never reach for a suji on the rack over the gyuto I'm already holding because I'm lazy, so my slicers end up sitting in their boxes.

Konosuke Sumiiro SLD 150 Petty​

Sale price: $275 $250 $225 SOLD
Photos/video

Blacksmith/Sharpener: Takahiro Nihei
Steel: Kurouchi stainless clad SLD
Edge length: 157mm
Heel height: 32.4mm
Spine thickness at handle / heel / midpoint / 1cm from tip: 3.53 / 3.15 / 2.05 / 0.38
Weight: 81g
Handle: Burnt chestnut and black horn
Originally purchased from Ai & Om: https://www.aiandomknives.com/products/konosuke-sumiiro-sld-petty-150mm-burnt-chestnut-handle

Very barely used (picked up about half a dozen other petties right after this one ). No patina. Factory edge: never sharpened or stropped. Includes saya and original packaging.

Couple of small blemishes that I saw as I was taking the photos: tiny dings on the handle (horn) and light stray grind marks towards the tip. See close up photos.

I liked it better when Imgur albums showed up in the post, but can't figure out how to get the inline display to work with the new Imgur link format...

Thanks! I knew that bit of forum code, but didn't realise I could still just use the last bit of the link after Imgur changed the link format.

FYI for anyone reading in the future: Imgur started including the album title inside the default link – e.g. imgur.com/a/sugimoto-6-zTmGxTh. This meant you can't just paste the links as-is anymore because KKF doesn't recognise anything after the first hyphen, but it works if you use the last 7 letters as Dave says above like this:

Bump and price drops across the board.

$40 off the Kagekiyo, $25 off the Konosuke, and $30 off the others. PM if interested in multiple knives/fee-free payment methods.

 

[Carbonara]

great seller! buy with confidence.

Surprised on how the Kagekiyo doesn't get any love... B1 Tanaka under $500...

 

[dehory]

Bump and further price drops. If they don't sell at these prices, I'll just let them sit for a while.

 

[plantgainz]

You can really stop here hunting with this set, lots of jems

 

[More_Gyutos]

I’ve often thought Kagekiyo is the next generation of the OG Fujiyama.

Great knives here all around. Love my Myojin SG2.

 

[dehory]

Just the Myojin SG2 210 and the Togashi 240 suji left.

Kagekiyo , Sugimoto, and Kono Sumiiro are sold.

 

[dehory]

Price drop on the remaining two due to the, uh, unplanned purchase of another knife...

 

[dehory]

Since someone asked over PMs, I’ll go down to $500 total shipped for the Myojin and Togashi.

I would have jumped on this deal if I didn't blow my money on a Home Butcher bundle solely because it had a the Myojin sg2 gyuto...
