Hello everyone,

I am selling this beautiful Shigefusa Yanagiba Kasumi 300m knife. From what I understand it was originally made around the 80s for Kiya house. The previous owner mentioned that it was never used and thus it is NOS. I have sent the knife to Rodrigo, a well regarded professional knife sharpener in London, who has straightened the blade (there was a bit of a bend due to its age, which is very common for single bevel knives) and sharpened it. I have polished the blade with Uchigumori finger stones and powder.

I have accumulated a rather sizeable collection of yanagibas (and other knives for that matter) and I have decided to trim them down a little. Planning to put a few more knives on WTS (from Watanabe and a few others).

I am looking for £1100 for the knife plus any shipping costs outside of UK. Happy to cover the shipping fees in UK. Will post fully tracked and insured.

Cheers

Hey guys. Would be great to get your feedback. Is there any interest for the Shigefusa yanagiba knives? Would love to hear back.

Speaking for myself only
I would love a Shig kasumi or kit
But don’t use a yanagi enuf to justify spending 4 digits
I would do so for s shape that I use regularly
Just my perspective as I am not a sushi chef
 
Thanks for your feedback guys. It is a beautiful knife indeed!
 
Reducing price to £1000 and including UK shipping or contributing £30 towards international shipping.
 
The knife is currently reserved to one of the KKF members till the last week of July. Thanks to everyone for checking the post.
