I got a new and my first Shigefusa 240 kasumi gyuto. When I first received the knife, and it wouldn't cut anything, very dull. Therefore, I took it to #8000 stone and was trying to give a sharp edge. However, I couldn't get a stupidly sharp edge that I get from all others. I usually put a new knife all the way to the finest stone to see how sharp it can be. I understand that,Shiggy is low convexed edge and thick behind the edge. I only could get like #4000 grit sharpness. I personally felt Shiggy's blade is not as sharp as Heiji although they use same steel, rather "elastic? or gummy?" . I cant describe how I feel, but Heiji is rather brittle, glass, hige hardness, and insanely sharp. I DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE with Shigefusa. Please tell me what i am doing wrong. Thank you in advence.
