I've bought a couple dozen knives on BST over the years, and sold a few. Lately I've noticed a trend: people getting greedy. Here's an example: a seller put a knife up at X price. I PM'd him and said I'd take it. He replied and said the price would be X + PayPal fees. I reminded him that...

For anyone who missed out on the recent santokus, here's another. I'm the first owner, and it's about 6 years old. Never used or sharpened. Cladding line is exceedingly even on both sides. It comes with the Shig blue box, and an unlimited free sharpening voucher from Dictum, which has got to be...

Selling a Shigefusa 180 gyuto. I'm the first owner, and it is unused. Weight is 142g. Blade is 184mm x 44mm. Pictures don't show it well, but cladding is perfectly even on both sides. Comes with original Shig handle and blue box. Price is $675 shipped and PP'd, CONUS only.

Looking for a Keller handle. Might be okay if it's attached to a knife, depending on the knife. :)

When Dave sold this forum to new owners a while back, I and others predicted that ads would soon appear. The new owners said "no ads." A month or two later, ads started appearing. The new owners said "ads will only be shown to unregistered users." Now I notice there's an Amazon ad on the front...

Missed the one that came up on Maxim's site today. Will pay the same ($1,000) for a 240 shipped. Not interested in other lengths, thanks!

Selling one of my prize possessions as I move away from carbon. This is a Hinoura "River Jump" 150 petty with a faux malachite handle by Mikey. The knife was hand-selected at Knifewear as having very nice patterns on BOTH sides of the blade. These knives are no longer available (that I can see)...

Selling a Masamoto KS 240, never used. This is an older one from 7-8 years ago; the blade is flawless. I'm migrating to (semi) stainless, so letting go of most of my carbons. I replaced the handle on this with a really nice oval wa; it is friction-fit and will be easy to swap out if you desire...

This guy does really, really nice work. Tely

Long shot, I know, but as someone said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." If the handle is attached to a knife, that could be okay too. :) Please PM me if you have something.

Selling an original Kato workhorse 150 petty to help offset other purchases. Knife came with lots of "character" marks; I've removed those and sanded up to 600 grit. Minimal use, perfect condition. $250 shipped in CONUS. PM for shipping options elsewhere. P.S. Handle was removed for...

Having recently obtained a Devin ITK with an upgraded handle, I'm letting this one go. It's the second one made from the first batch of 270's (photo below shows the #2 stamp). The blade edge measures 255mm, and it's 51mm high at the heel. It was nicely sharpened when I got it. I polished the...

Okay, I exaggerate. But not much. Here's a Hinoura River Jump petty with a faux malachite handle by Mikey. I like the way the swirls in the handle kind of echo the swirls in the blade. Let's see your beautiful knives!

Anyone have a source for nice ho/iichi wood handles? Oval or octagonal, it doesn't matter. Here's what I've found so far: 1. Maxim used to have them, but doesn't carry them any more (I asked). 2. Jon at JKI sells them only with his rehandling service. 3. Epicurean edge used to have them...

Title says it all. Please let me know if you have one to offer. Thanks!
