WTS/WTT Fowler, Burke, Tsourkan, Kagekiyo (EU)

Ok. here's a new attempt for a more legible layout.

A few knives for sale or trade. All the knives were (rarely) used in a private kitchen only and are in mint condition. I’m located in the EU, but will ship internationally.

As for trades: I’d like to try a 210 Deba, a 275-300 Takobiki or 240-270 gyutos from certain makers, yet unknown to me (Shig, Mario, Rader, DT, Haburn come to my mind). Restrictions for the gyutos: I feel comfortable with around 55+ at the heel and no lasers, please. Let’s see what’s out there. Please pm me your offers and let me know if you have any questions.

225 Stephan Fowler western gyuto in 52100

Marko was offering that steel some time ago.
http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/showthread.php/9816-John-Thomas-Damascus

I've no valid information, what steels that damascus is composed of.

Good steel.

Devin and Thomas don't play.

If the damascus Marko is still available next month then I'll be all over it.
I'm sure it'll be gone before then though.

Just trying to determine if it is stainless or carbon

It reacts like carbon steel and builds up a patina.

Fowler is sold.

Marko Chevron Damascus is SPF.

Marko Chevron Damascus is sold.

Bump.
Burke, Marko and Kagekiyo are still available.

No love for these around here? Thought some european knife fellows would chime in.
So let's try with some price adjustment but I'm also open to trade offers.

Burke 1450 USD
Marko AEB-L 500 USD
Kagekiyo 475 USD

Thanks for looking
Jürgen

What kind of trades are you looking for?

I've mentioned some trade options in my inital post of this thread:

"As for trades: I’d like to try a 210 Deba, a 275-300 Takobiki or 240-270 gyutos from certain makers, yet unknown to me (Shig, Mario, Rader, DT, Haburn come to my mind).

The above list of knivemakers is not meant as restriction. I'm pretty open to others. Just pm me for your offers.

has the Marko western handle ever been sharpened? if so how much sharpening and use has the knife seen?

It has been thinned behind the edge and sharpened on this occasion. Other than that it has seen very little use in home kitchen, only.

I'm the original owner of that Burke. The handle on that one is really striking, great wood. Bill makes an amazing knife, been lucky to own a few over the years. Whoever picks this up will be very happy.
