Hi, just making room in the knife block and liquidating some tied up cash. More pictures to follow, just wanted to get this out there.
1) 9" Warther French chef's knife (middle knife in picture below). S35VN steel. Germanish profile, as you can see. Converted to wa handle, handle is stabilized black dyed maple burl and horn, ab it on the larger side for large hands. Good cutter if you can live with the curve, just doesn't see much use in my kitchen. I think since Dave beefed up the edge a bit I may have used it a cople of times at best. $140 shipped in the US
2 & 3) These are not yet decided, just wanted to comment (hope that is allowed...). Also planning on selling the 300 Fuguhiki on the top, but I forget who the maker was, so I am not yet sure what a fair asking price would be. If anybody knows the maker, please let me know. Also seriously thinking about selling the Carter 9 1/2sun slicer - same problem, gotta find out a realistic price first.
4) 270 Kanetsune VG10 yanagiba with damascus layers. (top, picture below) These are stainless which was what attracted me because of the humid climate I live in. But I have hardly ever used it, never even sharpened up the factory edge. But I took of the flimsy rosewood handle and put a slim M3 handle on it. This is something like reconstituted metal, aluminum and copper in this case. Clearly heavier than ho wood but I kept is as slim as possible to not overly mess up the balance. Black horn tip and end cap. $220 shipped in the US
5) Korin honesuki, right handed (middle, picture below). Looks like a Nenox, feels like a Nenox, works like a Nenox. IIRC, at the time we were pretty sure that it was also the same steel that was used for the Nenox S1 series, but it runs under the Korin label. There were some issues with shrinking and cracking snakewood handles at the time. This one here has no cracks that I can see but it did shrink a bit and the tang was lightly ground down to match the scales. I will sand the tang a little bit over some slightly rougher spots. I would like to send this to Dave first to go over it a bit because there are a few micro chips toward the heel, so you would get it directly from him, sharp and shiny. Knife is hardly ever used, never sharpened before. $250 shipped (the comparable Nenox is $413-$619)
6) Ealy line knife (picture will follow). AEB-L bog, oak and koa handle (a darker koa piece from my personal stash with an almost quilted curl, not the regular striped curl you may connect with koa). Probably will regret selling this, but I could use the cash influx and I am not using it as much as I thought I might. So, hardly used, never sharpened. $260 shipped in the US.
I also ship internationally for actual shipping cost - $10, please contact me for details. There may be a couple more, gotta sort through the stash again.
