Based on some interest expressed in Pitonboy's recent thread, I'd like to offer up my Mario 280mm Gyuto-Hiki for a passaround. All of the usual rules apply:
Be a regular poster here
take care of proper packaging + shipping to the next person
insure the shipping for the value of the knife ($400)
sharpen only if needed, and are comfortable with it on this knife
pass on to the next person after 1 week
(please preserve the profile as it's my favorite)
Keep everyone up-to-date in this thread, please
As this is my first time to do this and I'm nervous about sending one of my prized toys around the country, I'm going to have a couple of additional rules:
conus only (sorry my Canadian/Island friends)
limiting to 10 people, who will be chosen by an undisclosed process
Review/photos appreciated, but not required.
PM with interest + shipping deets.
