Looking for a stainless 150-180mm petty. Have my eye on a ginga or Tanaka ginsan, but open to other options shipped to CA, USA. Use will be for slicing soft veg and maybe carving meat. Let me know if you have any options you're willing to sell, thanks

Sold!

Up for grabs is a seldom used Ginga 240mm white steel gyuto. Purchased last November from ebay bluewayjapan for $206. Used seldom since and sharpened once. Well taken care of. I don't have the box any longer, it will just be the knife. 49mm at the heel. Small scuffs from sharpening, see pics...

OP here. I did buy this knife, and sold it just the other week. I thought it was a fantastic knife for the price. Great blue steel that puts on a cool patina, thin behind the edge without being delicate, good fit and finish. The only thing I didn't really care for is the shape of the tip. It's a...

Selling a few knives that don't get much use. First up a Gihei 240mm gyuto, bought last spring. Stainless clad Blue 2 steel, generous 53mm heel height, and a solid 226g weight. It has some small scuffs in the kasumi(?) finish but overall in great shape. $150...

How would the Gesshin stainless western compare to the Tojiro HSPS, anyone know? Noticeable difference? It's worth noting that we're talking about someone that chooses to use a Tojiro DP over a Gengetsu here, so I'm wondering if going for the cheaper Gesshin and also throwing in a petty knife...

Thanks guys, some options I hadn't considered yet. I'll have to take a closer look at the JCK and Korin options. I spoke with her and confirmed the western handle, heavier, workhorse knife is the preference. My initial inclination is toward the Tojiro since I know she liked the DP

Planning on giving a knife for a birthday present, not sure where to go but have an idea. What say you kkf? LOCATION What country are you in? USA KNIFE TYPE What type of knife are you interested in (e.g., chef’s knife, slicer, boning knife, utility knife, bread knife, paring knife...
