Josh, would you take a trade/money for the Martell? I'm interested!
 
That martell is super nice. Wish the timing was better!!!
 
Perfect profile, and Dave knows grinds. Makes sense :)
 
Darn it - That's what I get for posting this while supposedly helping with turkey dinner. it is 6!!

Martell is SPF. Please - no trades - that would defeat the purpose this time around. I'm buying a new motorcycle, and a tidy up (not clean house) of knives is a good show of faith to wifee - we spent a lot of $$$ this year!
 
Incidentally, what bike do you plan on buying?
Yamaha Stratoliner.
Current bike is a FZ1
Last bike was a Roadstar. Don't want to go Roadstar again (great bike, just want to keep things a little different) - I'm a Yamaha guy. I looked at a FatBoy, but the reliability just isn't at the same level as Yamaha. Specifically - tube tires.
 
There are three types of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

Good stuff...


If this was listed months back, I would have bought three of these...still getting back on my feet, though.
Best of luck.

which three?:scratchhead: let me guess.....DT, Kochi & Martell???:groucho:
 
I love the Martell and Moritaka, but those look like they have already been claimed.
 
Great buy on the Martel, whoever got it. I recently got one myself from BST and I now believe that you can't count yourself a true gyuto knut unless you've experienced one.

I'm assuming that the DT is one of the ITK knives from **** and not a custom correct?
 
Hi - Getting some great questions, which is highlighting the need for more pics and details.

Martell - the makers mark etching is not perfect. There is a single light scratch on one side of the blade - Considering I only stropped the knife on a finishing stone this would be a very light, not deep scratch.


Moritaka - glad to see some interest in this knife. The kurouchi finish was actually starting to flake off in places, so I had to remove some of the trouble spots. There's light rusting on exposed cladding, of which I will clean up, oil and ensure the knife is sharpened. I'll soak the stones now, and post-sharpening, post a picture showing the blade on my cutting board, looking for issues driven by a bad grind.

I thought there were 10 types of people in the world: those who can read binary and those who can't...?
 
Anyone wanting to see the DT Petty and Gyuto in one picture, here you go!

Hi - since posting the Martell pic, Dave has graciously offered to clean up the makers mark, remove the patina, and sharpen it up. I'm happy to pay for any additional shipping required to make this work.

Thanks Dave!
 
Ahem...Kochi. Ahem
Agreed Lefty - the Kochi is a fantastic knife. If the reality of not needing so many gyutos hadn't have hit me, I'd be keeping this one (along with the Shig).
 
OK I'm back with more on the Moritaka. I've sharpened and cleaned it. Here's the pics that the knife after a sharpening, it has not lost it's edge profile due to grind issues. The best way I can think to show this-- place a light behind the blade, and rock the knife forward from heel to tip. If light escapes between the areas of the edge touching the board, we have issues. No issues seen on this knife. If there's a better way to show this, let me know. Knife is oiled up, ready to go!
