Well, it's about time I parted with this one. I won four of these in an auction some time ago and have sort of sat on them since. I very sadly do not need 4 whale knives, so I will be rehoming two of them. This is the first of the two, the second will come in a few days. This is in project...

For your consideration tonight is a 135mm Kikuichimonji deba. Steel is pretty nice, iron is fairly average as far as softness goes. The grind was pretty clean when I received it, only some minor low spots which didn't take too long to correct. The labels on the box are pretty yellowed so I'm...

Up for sale tonight is this 350mm Sabun yanagiba. It's huge, it's awesome, it's a lot of fun, but it's too big for my kitchen, and unfortunately 290mm is about as big as I can go. This knife doesn't appear to have been used much before I received it and still had the factory grind marks on the...

This was my single bevel edge finishing stone for a while until I got a bit deeper into the natural stones, and I still think it's a pretty nice stone, I just don't use it as much as I should. Grit is somewhere around 6k, stone is not that hard but not too soft either. Will slurry with a worn...

Got this one a little while back as a polishing project but have since accumulated too many unagi knives, so I've decided to pass this one on as what should be a pretty cool project. Knife is 155mm from heel to broken tip, 31mm tall and 5mm thick, knife is dead straight and has some hammer marks...

For sale today is a mizukihara (I need to figure out a new way to start these posts) mid-grit sharpening stone. I actually really enjoy using this stone. It's pretty soft and with a wide bevel and a little pressure it releases lots of mud, but with a lighter pressure during sharpening it...

Up for sale tonight is a Takeuchi 150mm deba. Steel is white 2 and cladding is iron, has a nicely figured zelkova handle as well, which is an upgrade from the standard ho wood Takeuchi normally come with. This was my go-to 150mm deba for quite a while and I think it's a really great knife for...

Title more or less says it all, I am interested in ordering a knife from a small shop in Taiwan but they don't currently accept foreign orders. I figured I'd put up a thread in case in the hopes there may be someone in that part of the world who might be able to assist with ordering, I'd be...

I bought this stone intending to use it as a finishing stone in a polishing progression but it was a bit difficult for me to use to I'd like to sell it. It slurries readily under a diamond plate and doesn't feel super hard but is just a little bit too hard to polish easily, at least for me. A...

Up for sale tonight is a 180mm deba from Kiya Hamono. Has some chipping along the edge, mostly in the back half of the knife. Little bit of a bend towards the tip but I didn't notice it during sharpening so I think it shouldn't be an issue in the future. Iron is not the softest but the core is...

This was actually my first J-knife, and I used it quite a bit when I first got it, but I don't reach for it all that much anymore as I tend to prefer a 210mm. It's got an overgrind at the heel but the rest of the bevel is pretty clean, no chips in the edge or anything like that. Selling for...

80$ Shipped Conus Old stock 230mm takobiki, stamp appears to be 鈴清作 (Suzusei?). Knife is old stock, and comes with a box, which many older knives don't. The iron on this one abrades very quickly, and it's easy to get a nice misty finish. There is no stamp for steel but it feels like white, and...

Up for sale tonight is a 240mm Takeuchi Hamono yanagiba. I bought this knife because I really like their debas, but 240mm just doesn't jive with me, so I'm passing it on. This knife is really light and thin, feels like it'll be a great cutter. Sharpens up nice and easy and takes a nice refined...

I purchased this knife a few months ago from @refcast at this listing: https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/235-mm-forged-to-shape-everywhere-deba.58416/ He's pretty thorough with his descriptions so I don't really have much to add other than it's really big but surprisingly comfortable...

GF's mom moved and lost her cleaver, looking for something cheap to replace it with, Daovua or any other cheap option considered. She sharpens on a brick so uh, nothing too fancy please -Greasy

Stone is degreased and absorbs water, but still has some dirty spots and what looks like maybe some swarf still in it. Could be cleaned a little more or used as is, I'll leave it up to the final user. Selling because I mostly own single bevels and the stone is too narrow for me to use it...

Here is a Haruyoshi 春吉作 240mm yanagiba, white steel/iron clad. Knife is 4mm at the heel and tapers down to 2mm at the end of the shinogi Ura is a little worn down but has plenty of life left with proper care. I purchased this knife used and honestly I never used it, so I'm offering it up for...

Up for sale today is this 330mm Masamoto yanagiba. I got this because I was looking for a long yanagiba but didn't really jive with this one, selling because I have my eye on something else. Actual length is something like 335mm, it was longer but I ground off a mm or two because it was...

Up for sale today is a Suigetsu 150mm deba, new in box. The listing I got from didn't specify the steel but I found an old listing that looked the same that said it was SK steel, so I'm gonna say it's mystery steel with the possibility of SK. I got this knife from Japan a little over a month ago...

I know this isn't a kitchen knife but I've seen other pocket knives sell here so I decided I'd try my luck as well. I'm selling this knife because I finally decided the money would do me more good elsewhere. It hasn't left my house since I bought it, and it's only been used to open boxes and cut...
