SOLD Shigehiro 270mm suji

[ian]

Today I'm selling my truly badass Shigehiro suji. I bought it from @lumo for a great price, which I'm passing on to the next buyer. lumo only did a couple test cuts with it. I sharpened it once when I got it, and I use sujis very infrequently so it hasn't needed it since. I have no complaints with it. Cuts like a dream. I'm selling it because otherwise I won't be able to afford the @RDalman mass drop and I'm not ready to let either of my two gyutos (Kipp, Shi.han) go until I test them against the forthcoming Dalman.

Iron clad white #2
Octogonal ho handle with marbled horn ferrule

Also, I should note that this is the least reactive iron clad carbon knife I’ve ever used. It’s hard to believe it’s iron cladding...

Wish I could justify this, beautiful knife. GLWS!

I loved everything about my Shigehiro 240mm gyuto except the odd size/shape. I keep looking at these sujis and would be all over this if I had more money rn, even with ...5 sujihikis in my kit (I’m a butcher, so it’s not as insane as it sounds).

Somebody buy this, it’s worth every penny and, assuming the grind translates from gyuto to sujihiki, you’ll love it for raw proteins and possibly crusty cooked ones too.

I got to borrow this one for a while and had a blast with it. True to form for a Shigehiro, it's refined and poised, with awesome F&F, great ergonomics, and, of course, a lovely grind and edge. I'd be all over it if I needed a suji in this length.

That looks to be just about the perfect suji

Don't say that. It'll just make me sad I'm selling it.

I’ve had two, just never clicked with me idiosyncratically, but they’re still such good knives I’m tempted to buy another every time one’s posted. Maybe I just needed a different size or shape...

I got to play with this suji at Lumo’s place a while back, it’s incredible. Forward balance and amazing F&F. I’d grab it off you but I’m already buried in future buys. Good luck.
