Shig alert

[inferno]

i am willing to chop down/santokify any shigefusa you have. 210s, 240ies, 270ies, 300eds, 330ies and so on, you name it, i'll chop it. no problem. if you send in 10 at a time i can give a discount.
you can specify 3m cubitron 2 or würth cutoff discs and flapdiscs. result is the same either way.

can confirm. I have a 240 x 68 with a low tip, which essentially makes it an oversized santoku

Heiji makes a nice looking santoku. I’ve debated maybe getting a custom 240mm one, but I’m not sure how useful it would be.

I feel like the weight distribution might make it a little clumsy/unwieldy.

I was thinking maybe horizontal grind to make it a sujihiki

Scallop the edge and Eitan would have a killer bread knife.

 

[Luftmensch]

Could do both and make a petty?

I’d go for the serrated edge on the spine. Make it a Rambo knife.

thats quite doable imo. i also suggest going for the integrated bottle opener cut then.

Well, this thread really took a turn...

Shigefusas coming to East to West Shoppe sometime soon.

 

[Eitan78]

Regular shigs or serrated ones?
