Takeda K-tip Gyuto 240 + AEB-L Honesuki

Factory bevel and geometry on both.

$350 - Takeda Classic Kiritsuke Gyuto in 240mm
Purchased some time in 2012, used a handful of times and has only been touched up a few times lightly on fine stones. Original bevel is there still.
Geometry from handle and tip view can be seen in album. Cuts very well but a little too light for my preferences.



$50 - Richmond Artifex AEB-L Honesuki
Similar to above but used a bit more but shows little to no signs of usage.
Handle heavy linen micarta with steel pins. Total beater knife as its stainless and holds a great edge.
Breaks down chickens with ease but I very seldom reach for it and want to trim down my set.

Discounts if buying multiple items.

$340 for the Takeda

$45 for the Honesuki

Also adding 2 pocket Higo knives. Both blades measure 95-100mm with total length at 122mm. Friction is still firm and I may be able to dig up the boxes, no guarantees though.

$40 - Black double bevel; I believe is blue steel (need to confirm). Has a slightly blunted edge compared to the single bevel but I think it came like this. Discoloring you see is from cutting sausage etc as a pocket knife. I can attempt to clean if desired. There is no chip near the base, just the grind makes it look it.


$75 - Copper single bevel; blue steel. Saw much lighter use and only used on pencils in my drawing kit. Has light surface rust near the pivot.

Honesuki and Higos sold.
