Need help finding a specific knife…

[DT74]

Hi KKF,
Looking for some assistance to try and find something with specific parameters - no luck so far with the search engines and looking thru the common knife shop websites. Here’s what I’m trying to find-

Suji
270
Wide bevel
K tip
Ginsanko/stainless

So, ideally something like a Kagekiyo with a k tip. They seem to make lots of yanagibas like this, but no luck find a suji.
Thanks all!

I think you could reach out to Tadokoro and see if they would do a k-tip for you:

HADO Sakai does this. Maybe other vendors have this is the first result I found.

I would suggest contacting Ken at Koho, this seems like something that would be right up his alley.

You've not mentioned weight, a significant variable for a suji.

Sub 165g will be laserish, may be a wedge monster and will likely feel "whippey". Best suited for light duty slicing and portioning and fish work.

165 - 185ish will be a nice middle ground suitable for most tasks. May still wedge in larger roasts, brisket.

190 and into the 200s is my preferred weight for pro work, portioning steaks, roasts.

A 40ish mm height is good, 50 and you can use it on a board for quick chopping tasks.

Good luck!

I really like it so far, even tho I don't use Suji often, great fit&finish, and great at portioning meat.
