Thanks - I have yet to find my inheritance- so I will pass on these gorgeous beauties - but who makes these three knives?
 
still, it takes more than just having the inheritance...you need the motivation and the means to buy something as expensive and specialist as this.

someone with more money than taste or wisdom could easily spend this much without any other motivation than 'I want that one', but why? to be able to show off?

Agreed, but thats just how it goes with shigs, katos, and ashis. You are either buyer #1 that gets it because the grind, ht, f&f, etc... and now has to pay inflated prices for it because here comes buyer #2 who buys it so they can post a few sweet pics with it and then uses it to portion their lasagna once a month.

Sounds like we need a Lasagna cutting thread.
 
Ridiculous prices these days. Just got back into this hobby and I think I'm going to steer away from these. Just got myself a shig kurochi nakiri the other day from AZCK, man that edge is brittle .... but it's turning very nicely blue :)
I occasionally monitor these markets to find some knives... . Let me know if you want a private DM of random shig prices I find. Another note from translating some of the sellers descriptions is that it states its very popular in the western hemisphere... so they know to jack up the prices
