Nice score :knight: now you'll need another 270mm.

Shigefusa 330mm yanagiba, didn't realise how massive this thing would be!

 

[Dardeau]

That's a big ass yanagiba!

 

[Smurfmacaw]

Can't stop buying shigs..... here is shigefusa kitaeji usaba 210mm.



kitaeji deba incoming

Where did you find it? I want one of these. I got my deba two weeks ago and now it's time of another knife!

 

[Dardeau]

Not to me yet, but soon!

When I had my carbon monosteel yo gyuto I thought that the engraved logo (masazumi swedish steel) I thought that it would probably (actually I know because I looked through a loupe) promote red rust.. can be kinda hard to wipe down in there especially if its deep. What do you think tjangula??

I haven't had issues personally although I was initially concerned about this. The Carter logo on my 275mm HG Funayuki kinda had it, so I scrubbed with baking soda and an old toothbrush, then forced a patina on that spot. Seems okay but I'd like to do a more thorough cleaning and then permanent solution at some point, I'm just always cognizant of drying there.

I got that knife as well a few weeks ago and I am very impressed with it so far. Toyama is severely underrated here on the forum. Fantastic knives with very little chatter about them. Heavily considering getting a Toyama 240 Gyuto in the near future.

I got it from a japanese website, I think I just bought the last one.

 

[j22582536]

kitaeji 210mm deba has finally arrived.

 

[schanop]

Those are awesome, very nice. Hopefully, they get to work hard.

Thanks, I'm hoping to be using them soon. Still working on my sharpening skill, I'm afraid of ruining these knives with my horrible skill lol.

Wow the last few pages of this thread have been hard to handle. Santa came real early this year for some of you folks!! Nice kitaeji collection!

 

[cheflivengood]

Picked up a few recently:
Gesshin Heiji 220mm Cleaver = Its a monster (super secret HHH customization in negotiations)
One of jon's call/instore only butchers knives, japanese name escapes me
Custom Gesshin Hide 270mm Kiritsuke = 55mm tall, really wide bevel, more rounded at the tip

 

[Anton]

Jezzuz, that K tip is a beast
Good for large vermin

 

[berko]

Whats the weight on that heiji cleaver?

 

[cheflivengood]

Whats the weight on that heiji cleaver?

509g

 

[schanop]

509g

509 is pretty light for a full tang cleaver from Heiji. Must be a thinner blade, isn't it?

Pretty thin, measurements on jki.com. by a monster I really meant long, tall, and the handle is way too thick for my hand, my midle ring and pinky barely make it on the handle.

I have a wa handle version which is already 507, so my blade must be a tiny bit thicker than JKI version.

 

[berko]

i want it so bad.

If Biggie Smalls was two different knives; Watanabe Pro & Shigefusa Santoku:

 

[chipzaroy]

what size is that shig santoku? :spin chair:

 

[chipzaroy]

man, those heiji cleavers are so beautiful. haha. do you happen to know the wa handle circumference?

 

[schanop]

It is the same size as a large 240mm gyuto handle, not as large as Moritaka chuka that I used to have, though. That one was huge.

 

[Zweber12]

what size is that shig santoku? :spin chair:

Advertised as 165mm though closer to 185mm

 

[Mucho Bocho]

Pictures tell a thousand words. Gonbei 150 petty. Beautiful little knife. Not flexible, but thin. I wanted something to break down chicken, but still be useful for other tasks. Nothing fancy, but any knife package from JKI will put a smile on your face. Such a classy operation. Thanks Jon/Sarah
