I demand more knife photos!

Happy to oblige, & bring the thread back all the way from North Pole is the return of Shig’s fake distal taper:

And it's back.

I don't have any interest in Shigs, nor Shig threads, so this one went on a bit without adult supervision.

I thought long and hard about each possibly offensive post. Then flipped a coin. If your post was deleted, OK. If someone's post was not deleted, OK.

TL/DR Ma bought a Shig. Ma "chopped" the Shig. Some, who have no tangible interest in Ma's affairs, didn't "like" it. Yawn.
 
This knife deserves a pink Hello Shiggy handle. Epic handle for an Epic knife.
 
oh my god what did i just read through

when i joined two days back people told me of the dislike of nakiris on the forum
the first day i saw a "what is the point of a nakiri" thread
the second day I see there are people straight murdering shigefusa nakiris

all that's left to add is a mercer handle

Welcome!!!
Not gonna lie... this is a good one.
 
Many thanks to Dave for cleaning up the thread, & bring back the contents, now I can finish it up.

I’ve tried a few different finishes, & some etching as well, but wasn’t happy with most of the outcome. Finally, I settled on a finish that I like, similar to my fav. knife Shi.han 52100, it has a rougher top followed by high grind vertical hairlines. I tried to match Shi.han‘s hairline, the 1000 grit vertical hairline looks pretty close IMHO.

However, the vertical hairline is just for looks, Very shallow, a few passes on the belt. The shinogi line is not real, there’s no real angle transition at the fake shinogi line.

I think I should be starting to work on the handle now, what do you think?

@ma_sha1 while I would have wished for an actual shinogi line (however small) that transition looks suuper frigin sick. What are you thinking of for the handle?

+1 Vote for a bright red 3D printed tapered octagonal design with matching saya
