Up for grabs is a lightly used Yoshihiro White #2 yanagi. The knife was originally purchased from Jon at JKI. I believe that it is the same knife as is currently being sold on his site under his Gesshin Uraku label, although I have not verified that. New, the knife sells for $220. I am asking for $195 and I will cover paypal. I will work with the buyer on shipping, but I can't guarantee shipping costs as shipping has just gotten so darn expensive.
I would refer anyone interested to a thread I posted a while back on a Yoshihiro deba:

This thread details my sharpening experience with this line of Yoshihiro knives. The knife pictured is a deba (which I still own and love). I have similarly treated the yanagi. I have flattened the blade road and polished the blade up to a finished polish with my natural stone, just as detailed in the previous thread. I am, however, by no means a professional polisher, so I am not guaranteeing anything approaching perfection with this finish. Here is a link to a video showing the knife as it currently is. I sharpened it just a couple of days ago and have not used it (other than to shoot this video) since sharpening, so this is current state of the knife. I have treated the blade with mineral oil to prevent oxidation. The knife comes with the standard Yosh saya (pictures on request).

I am willing to ship to any professional sharpener that the buyer wishes, if they so choose. Feel free to PM me with any offer, but exceptionally poor offers will be ignored.
Thanks,
