SOLD Shigefusa 210mm kasumi gyuto

[Logan A.]

Hey guys! I believe this is my first WTT post on here. I bought this shigefusa privately as a little splurge for myself. I wanted to let it be my daily driver for at least a couple of months and get some use out of the beauty.
BUT
After using it once and getting wayyy too concerned about a small scratch on the finish I realized that this knife is just too precious for me to justify using it how I’d planned. For this reason I decided that I want to trade it for something that I will actually use.

I am looking to trade +- cash depending on what is offered.

Looking for 210-240mm gyuto. Something with a bit of an elusive characteristic, but not quite as precious as Shigefusa. Think Jiro or Konosuke FM. Leaner grind gyuto/extreme distill taper are preferable.

Let’s call the trade value of the shig roughly 900USD

A knife + cash is preferable

A Suiboku, or even the Damascus variation would be very welcome as well.

Takamura Hana or used shigefusa kasumi 210

Hmmmm I just got my hands on a practically brand new 210 suiboku. The plot thickens

I wouldn’t call a 210 Kasumi for a Damascus Suiboku a downgrade. I’ve gotten wild offers for mine

I am now seeing that I’ve made a poor word choice. I’ll change it

What did it cut that caused a scratch so fast

I’m quite sure it was something imbedded in the hand towel I used to wipe it down after I cut with it. Of all times for something like that to happen

sorry to hear that!

I’m not sure you’d find a Siboku cladding all that easy to care for either if you’re worried about caring for a Shig’s cladding- just a heads up if you’re planning on making your trade a daily driver.

Knives can be refinished. Use them. Abuse them. Refinish them. Repeat.

I've come to the conclusion that if you use a Shigefusa to cut anything tougher than a very clean zucchini, scratches are inevitable. I asked yesterday for suggestions re how mine got scratched and the consensus seemed to be a variety of vegetables such as leeks, garlic, celery... can scratch the finish. How am I doing this?

So I've come to accept it, I agree with ethompson above, but obviously we all have our preferences.

Just sold my 210mm Suiboku damascus... Have a 240mm Suiboku Damascus coming...

I’m going to open this up to cash offers as well
