FS Carter 180mm KU Funayuki w MHenry handle

I bought this knife from Huw in this thread: http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/s...uki-w-MHenry-handle?highlight=carter+funayuki

I used i a couple times, but I just dont use it much, so I'm passing it on. It's in the same condition in which I got it.

Couple of notes. The handle/spacer/ferrule transition isn't flush, probably due to wood movement. Shouldnt be hard to clean up with some sandpaper, but I haven't gotten around to it. Also, I don't know the correct term for it, but the edge at the heel is slightly under-ground relative to the blade. Nothing that a few minutes on a stone wouldn't fix, but again, I haven't gotten around to it.

Price is $275 shipped in CONUS.

ugh. must resist.

I be happy to refinish the handle for the buyer if interested. Damn shrinkage!

Another great looking M Henry handle!

Awesome! Thanks for the offer Mike.

It's actually the spacer material that shrunk (or the wood swelled up). I don't know if the spacer is horn or something else. Odd though, since I'm in CA and it's almost never humid here.

I wish I had a pool. It's sunny and 90 outside today.

That'd be me - I'll keep you posted regarding that, once I check it out. Thanks for the offer!

I can't believe how long this lasted, but am glad to see the temptation is gone.

Nice pick up FD! Thats a badass knife. Too bad me be brokey.

There's a lot more stuff I need to move to keep my jnat habit going, so hopefully I'll have better luck tempting you guys with my later sales.

Glad we're here to help each other out in tough times like that..geesh

Thanks -- this will be my first Carter, also! The price was so good that I couldn't pass it up.

Sorry for reviving an old thread -- but the deal fell through and this knife is for sale again. Any interest?

Price is $225 shipped for a Carter with an MHenry custom handle.

Vinster pm me

Withdrawn. I'm holding it for a friend locally. Sorry guys!

I can not believe this came up again. I would of snapped it up this time if CoqaVin didn't. It is a length I would love to try out.

this would have worked out perfect for me bill as a line knife or something of the sort as it is what I am looking for and Carter oh well

Should have notice prior the withdrawal. Your friend is a lucky guy
