Re: 240mm Sujihiki

The Saji Ginsan did look awesome. Was a bit much though and tough to find people’s impressions on. I ended up going with a Kochi 240mm Stainless Clad Sujihiki from JKI. Bit different from what I was initially looking for, but I’m excited for it.

240mm Sujihiki

Looking for a smaller sujihiki to go with my 300mm. I like a wide shinogi (or is it bevel?) like my Kagekiyo. Carbon steel or stainless steel is fine. Kinda like a good blue streak, but after slicing I tend to go eat, so maybe SS is the way to go. Looking to spend less than $300. Wa handle preferred...

Re: Sujihiki Recomendation

Yeah I was waiting on the toyama 300mm to come back in stock. I was able to pickup cutuu's in the classifieds. Oh wow I must have been one of the last people to get it before it went out of stock. Lots out there though. Mazaki? http://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/mazaki-stainless-kasumi-sujihiki-2...

Thanks

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

I looked at it early on, but I didn’t want another laser. The Toyama I bought will be perfect for me.

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

Ok search is finished and knife is ordered.

Went with the 300mm Toyama Kasumi Sujihiki! Thanks to all involved in this process. Appreciate the insight and advice. Can’t wait for my sword to arrive.

just word of advice, older means thicker, first run of jns mazaki were thick - just ask for photo to avoid misbuys.
Ok good to know. Thanks!

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

So I think the 270mm Mazaki Kasumi may be the knife. I don't want it too tall so I'm hoping JNS may have some in stock that are less than 43mm. I like the look, shape, steel, price, and everything else. A 300mm may be a size I could work with, but there was a chance that it could be too big for my w...

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

Two more knife thoughts contenders. 270mm Kaeru and 270mm Zakaru. Still not sure about 270mm vs. 300mm. Having trouble finding 300mm options.

Good to know about the Mazaki.

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

Um yeah. The Toyoma is $400. Not happening. No pictures there of the 300mm Mazaki. I found it on cleancut though. No where did I see blade height though. 45mm is pretty tall for me for a 300mm. More sword than knife. Edit: the 270mm Mazaki is apparently 49mm high at the heel. What? That’s so tall. I...

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

Thanks guys! Is the Mazaki 300mm only available at cleancut? Also, what is the blade height. In this video of the Masakage Koishi 300mm Sujihiki, it looks extremely tall. I'm not looking for anything that tall. I understand that is a different knife, but just as a point of reference, are we talking ...

Re: Need a 270mm Sujihiki

Thanks guys. Will go down their respective rabbit holes.

Have also been looking at the Gesshin Ginga White #2. Not sure if another laser is the answer.
