Shig alert

[Hz_zzzzzz]

My apologies, it was me.

Why would you need another Shig?

I passed the "need" phase in this hobby 12 years ago.

And most importantly you learnt how to checkout fast. haha. Congrats. I believe there must be a shig meant to be mine. I'll see when it finds its way home.

That 240mm shig kasumi has a $954 price tag

edit: still would've bought it if I had the chance.

Are there any performance differences between the Kitaeji and the Kasumi versions?

Shig lords will often tell you the performance difference is between western and wa shigs not so much kitaeji and kasumi.
My wallet won’t let me explore though.

In my experience, no. I'm just a paper pusher, not much professional help.

Ugh I’ve just accepted that I’ll never get to experience the beauty of a shig single bevel...

Its an outlook like that that eventually landed me a Kato Ku 210WH. Perseverance is key

I thought this was interesting for any Shig lovers. Nice pics of the people involved and workshop too

Why not just use this for a look into the workshop, the talking movies were invented well over a decade ago ;-)

Why go to a concert when you can stream it?

 

[MarcelNL]

exactly, concerts are so pre COVID

Update: I bought the 210 Kitaeji that showed up on JNS this morning. Seems finally my shig is coming home.

You ever buy from here?

 

[tchan001]

yes, but they only ship EMS so you have to make sure EMS delivers to you.

$952 seems a bit pricy for a 240mm Shig Kasumi Gyuto. I purchased one a few months ago for $703 with free shipping to California.

 

[tchan001]

Wish I found one at your price but too late now.

 

[syinx]

jfc that's a pricey kasumi 240

 

[RockyBasel]

Still there - I have it already- so no need for another one, well there is never a “need”

 

[drsmp]

Looks like won’t ship to USA as EMS suspended

^^ Tempted as it's still there, but really don't have a use for it.

 

[CTHT]

^^I guess there was more than one

(Looking at insta, it seems that there were at least 2).

As someone thats been watching all morning, noticed randomly, yes there was two of each I believe.

 

[rmrf]

First time I've seen one that wasn't out of stock.

But still, you have still haven't "seen" it yet

I wish I lived near the sea to have a justification for a 240 Deba. Or a 210 Deba. Or a Deba in general!

Not playing the Shig game anymore, prices have gone crazy. I can remember times where Shigs have sold for half of their current prices. HALF!!!
