Where are you from?
I’m from Taiwan but I currently live in Canada.
Where are you from?
Yeah...Shigefusa knives are getting harder and harder to locate these days, especially after Tokifusa Iizuka san retired 2, 3 years ago, now is just his two sons doing all the work, and they don’t do much Kitaeji.

Thank you. I bought it from a German knife collector. Never seen one on the free market unfortunately. But good for my wallet.

Hi!
I finally was able to purchase my dream knife, a 240mm Shigefusa Yo-Kitaeji Gyuto and all I can say is that I am very very happy at the moment.
The knife wasn't usable out of the box, the edge was sharpend down to zero.
I had to use my bogdan to put a microbevel on it.
It took me 2 minutes (5/2/1 strokes on each side with Naniwa Professional 5K, 4/1 with Naniwa Sharpening Stone 12K) and it looked that way:
So now it is ready for the first cuts!
Best,
Mack

Yeah, tbh I’ve never even seen the site. As a matter of fact I’d never even heard of them until that moment, so I had no idea of the price. I do know that I really liked what I saw tho. It was a western gyuto 240ish, dark wood, it just felt great and looked like a fun all-arounder. Mind you- people (myself included) purchased Jiro sight unseen for more.Had a look at CB website, third knife from the left looks good, a 240 Western. Would I like to give it a try? Probably! Would I purchase this knife for 700+$? No. But tastes and preferences (for technical aspects, or even brand or maker preferences) are so different and highly subjective. I’d participate in a PA though!
I’m in for at least 15k in just the last year. So I feel you. Said I was gonna gonna pump the brakes But these weird things called honyaki started popping up.It's complicated...
