FS - Watanabe Kintaro-ame Yanagiba 300mm

Someone else has the opportunity to own the best looking Yanagiba. I find myself looking at this one but using my more utilitarian Yoshiro. Beautiful damascus blade with Stefan Keller handle. It's not been used since returning from Jon's for exam and sharpening.

$850 PP (+fee if applicable) gets it shipped priority, insured, to your door in US. International, we can talk.

Beauty Dave. GLWS

Thanks Mucho.

Bump.

Will consider trade that included a stainless variant wa suji, 270-300mm and cash. Suisin IH, Gengetsu, and Tad INOX come to mind...

Bump and a dump. Hard to put a value on this beauty. $800 will work.

Sorry, I am looking for something much higher in quality than the yoshihiro

This could be said to fit the criteria. It is certainly prettier...:angel2:

Our own Dave Martell has told me in no uncertain terms that Watanabe single bevel knives are fine examples of Japanese craftsmanship. When Shinichi gets a special piece like Kintaro-ame he puts extra care into it as well. Factoring in the handle this knife is a bargain. GLWS.

The last bump. Reduce to 750. Will entertain offers.

Surely this is someones "unicorn".

If I had a need to justify a yanagi, this would be mine! Glws

lus1: Such a gorgeous yanagi... + the Keller handle to top it off.

Bump. It's been awhile since this was on page 1. This beauty is still available and could be under your tree. Still $750, to include insured U.S. shipping. International, I'll meet half way.

Thanks for looking.

Damn, the fuguhiki I have never gets used I can't see going after this one. Altho, it is a stunner. At that price a very good bargain. Great present for a knife knut.

This one is still available.

Would you be interested in trading for a Inox Honyaki Suisin 270? Will gladly send the Suisin to Jon for an "inclusive" sharpening.

Dammit -thought I was sending a PM - please delete.

PM's exchanged.

And still available. (Apologize for lousy pic of such a nice knife)

Inexplicably still available. Thanks for looking.

It is depressing how long this has been here. It is a beautiful knife.

Thanks Mike.

This one is on it's way to new home where it will be used daily and with much more skill. Breaking up is hard to do.

Congrats Dave, that took a long time. I thought maybe she was meant to stay with you.
