Takayuki Yo-Gyuto 240mm Carbon steel w/ Saya

[pete84]

For Sale

This Sakai Takayuki 240mm yo gyuto has been a workhorse knife for 2 years. In that time it has been a reliable, well constructed knife that takes a wicked edge and sharpens easily. The knife is identical to this series: http://www.aoki-hamono.co.jp/english1/yo%20e/yo8.htm but it has a POM resin handle, not wood. Fit and finish are solid, no gaps or rough edges on the handle.

I have put an aggressive single bevel style edge on this knife, it is right hand biased but it is easily reset to a 50/50 or lefty edge at the cost of some material. Knife has never been thinned. Comes with saya+pin. Original box too.

Material: SK steel
Handle: POM (delrin type hardened resin)

I paid $170+$30 for saya. Asking $145 shipped CONUS






Thanks!

Bump it up!

Ok, even though this is my first Japanese knife and first gyuto, one more price drop seems in order to try and find it a new home. It is an excellent knife and is still in excellent shape, cuts like hell and is a great piece to learn how to work with carbon. Comes with original packaging in like-new condition.

$120 w/ saya, shipped CONUS. Willing to ship international, PM me if interested.

Thanks!
