Nigara SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime Western Gyuto 240mm

Picked this up at the Knifewear Garage Sale this year. I've used it for a few test cuts. It's never been sharpened. Asking $550 shipped to US.

...I've used it for a few test cuts. It's never been sharpened....

Thoughts/comments on performance? Any pics showing grind?

Also, cool handle, mixed wood/resin?

It is indeed resin and wood handle. I've attached a choil shot.

Very nice! Sometimes on these pretty knives with the special handles they totally skimp on the grind and other performance characteristics, but that actually looks like a really smooth cutter. Got the bark and the bite! out of my price range at the moment but glws it's a cool one for sure.

I had the Wa version of this and they cut like nobody’s business. Demon sharp… plus the western handle? Someone will be super happy with this… especially for this price. GLWS!
