Up for sale is my Hattori FH gyuto. Purchased new from Koki last October, measurements and specifics can be found here:

Knife is in excellent shape with typical light scratches behind the edge from sharpening that will polish out very easily. I lowered the OOTB edge VERY slightly, but the geometry is unchanged, and Ill leave it as is for the new owner to do what they wish. Also some very light scratches on the spine and choil from very fine sandpaper I used to ease the edges a bit. They are NOT rounded, I merely broke the edges to relieve the initial sharpness.
Fit and finish of the micarta handle is damn near perfect. Whatever vodoo magic Hattori uses on this VG-10 makes it very smooth feeling on the stones and it takes a very nice edge. I'm making the move to semi-stainless and carbon.and have bought 4 knives in the last 2 weeks. If money were no object, I'd keep this one around just because it looks so good, but unfortunately I need to replenish the Paypal account.
$220, Conus shipping and Paypal fees included. Original presentation box included.
Thanks for looking.
