One more knife up for sale before I am off to Hong Kong for two weeks.
Zakuri blue #1 240mm gyuto. I got this knife from Jon in 2011 and has been using it in alteration with other knives. Recent purchases of Shigefusa gyutos and Heiji Santoku makes me really realised that this Zakuri has too much belly for my liking.
So for this well loved, KU stripped, secondary bevel widen and raised, slightly thinned, rounded choil and spine, with sign of crack on the ferule, work horse Zakuri, I am asking $150AUD shipped within AU. I think this is a fair price considering, a new one from Jon shipped to AU is in the order of $200.
These images are from last night sharpening. Open in new tab/window for full size.
And compared with patina images I took on the day before.
