I'm continuing to clear off my knife rack.

1) Miyabi 7000MC Santoku. 180mm length with ZDP-189 steel. You should try this knife just to feel what ZDP-189 is like. A home cook could probably go a few years without having to sharpen this thing as long as he uses a wooden board and doesn't slam-force chops. It is asymmetrically ground (like most Japanese knives) with asymmetric bevel. I have set a double-bevel on both sides and the edge stays scary sharp forever. I just touched the edge up on my Edge-Pro. I would actually keep it but I just don't like the handle. There are fine scratch marks on the stainless cladding. Zknives did a review of this knife a while back.

$100 bucks shipped CONUS.

2) Tadafusa Nakiri with hammer finish. SLD semi-stainless edge with stainless cladding. This had a very rough fit and finish from the manufacturer. I took a very very rough stone (200 to 300) and took the sharp edges off the spine and choil, but I didn't smooth it out any more than that. Thus, the rough scratch marks. Easy to sharpen and a tough little nice that you won't be afraid to slam down on any cutting board. :)

$40 shipped CONUS.





 
Oh NO!! not another GIRL knife!!!!
 
Both knives have been sold. Thanks again!
 
I dont care about girlie or even miyabi as a brand but that is an ugly knife.
 
ZDP steel knife for $100 sounds like a winner with any handle. Congrats to the seller and buyer.
 
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am sure they are very happy with their purchase and I am sure something in my collection would garner a crack or two on here.

Way to make the buyer feel better about their purchase, jeez...

Doesn't mean you have to take a crack at both the buyer and seller. Show a little respect.
 
Point taken, no need to single me out when there are cracks right above mine in this post and in others.

sorry you weren't around to police the Suisin Inox Honyaki Santoku thread on here.
 
All comments aside, I received the Tadafusa today (Quick shipping bk!) and found it exactly as described. I am surprised by how thin and light it is.
The way I see it I get to try SLD steel in a knife style I like for 40 bucks. :pirate1:

I have a santoku. I like Miyabi and what they're doing. I like the sound of $100....

Regardless, it's over and done with, and I'm sure it won't happen again. BUT, I do agree with Brainsausage.
