Thanks - I have yet to find my inheritance- so I will pass on these gorgeous beauties - but who makes these three knives?

I'll just slowly put this down here just incase someone has recently acquired a reasonably sized inheritance
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.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?
Sounds like we need a Lasagna cutting thread.Agreed, but thats just how it goes with shigs, katos, and ashis.

Yes! But the price is ok.They say kasumi, but you'd be getting a kuroichi knife
I missed them. We’re they KU santokus?

I have a Masayuki 210 Ku Gyuto, purchased in 2013. I haven’t seen another since. I’m curious to know where and when you’ve seen any for that kind of price, since that’s about what I paid back then.Ku gyuto do exist but they are on the shorter side. I've seen them for $325-375 so not super expensive for a Shig. Never seen a 240+ though

I agree with you I picked up a 240 Kasumi from Knifewear last year and it is excellent.Gone - but keep watching the site - Maksim has more than one sometimes, so he may put another one up. I love the 240 Kasumi - flawless knife
I'm jealous. Knifewear price for Shig is great but the availability is miracle.I agree with you I picked up a 240 Kasumi from Knifewear last year and it is excellent.
Yes I agree they don't become available too often. I just filled out a product availability request and acted on it as soon as I got the email. I think I got very lucky.I'm jealous. Knifewear price for Shig is great but the availability is miracle.
Very lucky indeed! Great knifeYes I agree they don't become available too often. I just filled out a product availability request and acted on it as soon as I got the email. I think I got very lucky.
OMFG it's still there after 48 minutes.
It's an Usuba.... not the cachet of a gyuto. Lower on the resale interest.
They probably have more than One!I know - it was tongue in cheek.
are we alowed to post ongoing auctions?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
