SOLD Shirou Kunimitsu 247 mm white 2 gyuto

[pgugger]

Like new, used just once or twice for some test cuts, never sharpened. Interesting knife with an axe grind from a sword maker. Great food release, with the tradeoff on cracking hard produce, as you'd expect. It is meant to be sharpened like a Takeda with bevels flat to the stone and zero grind. Purchased from JCK for $310 (with shipping): Shirou-Kunimitsu White Steel No.2 Kurouchi Series SK-6 Wa Gyuto 240mm (9.4 Inch)

Asking $275 $250 including US shipping. $25 off if you bundle with the Hinokuni or Miyazaki I posted here.

Edge length: 247 mm
Heel height: 52.5 mm
Spine thickness at heel: 3.2 mm
Spine thickness 1 cm from tip: 2.3
Weight: 234 g

Steel: White 2

Their steel is killer and the grind is surprisingly awesome and not wedgy

I have a tiny shiro kunimitsu ajikiri. The white 1 is definitely on the harder side of carbon steel heat treats. It's harder and aggressive feeling, and somewhat difficult to abrade. Not as hard as TF white 1, nor as glassy or fine edge taking, or easy to polish. More aggressive edge taking though. One of the more aggressive steels I've used. The grind on mine goes very close to the edge, basically a zero grind as well.
