New old stock 165mm Shigefusa Santoku I got from Japan. I made a custom horn/Karelian birch custom handle for it & used it for a few days & sharpened it twice. It’s got middle weight workhorse like convex grind & hefty feeling, weight in 180g, actual blade heel to tip 174mm.
Spine Measurements roughly: handle/Heel/middle/1cm from tip: 6mm/3.5mm/2mm/1.2mm
Heel height 49mm; Blade length heel to tip 174mm; weight 180g
I also polished the spine, did lamb blood patina which looks really pretty under the right lighting & angle. The last round of sharpening introduced some shallow stone scarf marks on left front of the blade, but mostly contained below Kasumi section, see the last picture.
asking $335 + shipping; prefer US.
