F/S 240mm honyaki gyuto unknown maker

F/S 240mm honyaki gyuto unknown maker. The gyuto is made from white steel number three and is a laser type gyuto. Originally bought from Herald Anderson here
http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/924822/

In that thread there is a link to Heralds blog were he explains how he got the blade and the refinish he did on it. There is also a custom redwood handle and saya that comes with( no pin,went missing) the handle and saya are very good, nice and thin saya that is friction fit.
The blade gets very sharp and holds the edge for a long time, great knife just reaching for my 270mm gyutos more and more.

Would like to see $450+ shipping ( shipping for me to the states is around $22)

That is one sweet handle! Oh, and the knife ain't bad either.

How's food release on this one?

Food release is good with the exception of thinly sliced onion or garlic, but then again it's not like it becomes a suction cup. Very thin for a honyaki, glides through everything with ease. I have never used a massamotto ks but from pictures it looks to have the same profile, nice and long flat spot.

Is the actual blade length 240?

Best Saya Ever!! If Harald tweaked it, I'd bet it's a pretty good performer too.

The blade length on the edge is 239mm

You should hit up Huw for a trade for his Carter. Both look like great knives.

Looking or something bigger then a 240mm, If someone has a 270mm+ I would consider that

beautiful combo

Awesome looking package.

Bump

I'm pretty sure I had the pleasure of meeting and fondling this pair when Trev and I had a coffee a little while back (well, he drinks tea, but that's besides the point). Harald's work is a little unheralded around these parts(see what I did there?), but only because he's not active on this forum anymore. With that being said - held side by side with Marko's work - it's hard say whose work is cleaner. Marko gets the edge, but not by a huge margin; these are great pieces.

Bump, i will give this one a couple more days before it goes back in my kit. I will not be disappointed if it doesn't sell

One last bump

I kind of hope you dont sell it so that I can save up my cash and hit you up for it later
