As I'm currently looking for a Shig, used or new, I might need to be able to judge how much life is left in a used one and how that affects price.
Let's assume a 210 BNIB sits around 2.5-4.5 $ per mm, (depending on finish), do you downgrade according to length or is the height at heel more important and if so how?
I figure both are important as tipping makes you lose length and grinding lose length and height. Is a knife spent when the height decreases by 2mm , 3mm , 5 mm ? I don't have a clue, let's assume a typical height at heel for a 210 of ~42mm.
