F/S Takeda AS 240 Gyuto

Alas, I have too many knives. So, up for sale is this Takeda AS 240 gyuto that I bought from Mike Henry this summer. He put a beautiful handle on it for me.....black horn, silver spacer, blackwood. It has seen little use....although it cuts like crazy.
I paid 375.00 I will sell it for 300.00 shipped to the conUS.

ah man, if i didn't already have a pair of 240 Takeda gyutos, and if my wife wouldn't murder me.

You think I need this, Edipis?

Awfully tempting...

Surprised you are selling this thing! But yes, you do have a lot of knives.

congratulation!!:fanning: that take away my temptation!

$330 for a new takeda means someone was just paid $30 for taking a free Mike Henry handle....sweet!!!

Sold

Nice score TurboChef, nothing like a little retail therapy to help you get over Sandy.

Walking away from this one took all of my willpower.

Congrats to the buyer and seller!

Thanks

That is such a great deal...

I think I'm in love. And knowing it didn't ship yet hasn't stopped me from waiting by the curb.

I think maybe I am, too (just came back to look at this again, despite the fact that I know it's sold).

Take good care of it for me, Turbo.

That's one of the nicer looking Takedas I've seen. :thumbsup:

For some reason I have a hard time paying extra for custom handles

you know, i've had enough custom handles, that, as nice as the custom handle was, it wasn't what did it. that blade just looks great! i bought a Gengetsu, instead. i'll still be murdered, but not as much as i would have been if i already owned 2 Gengetsus.

Nice knife. In this case, to me, the handle suits the blade. Good score for the buyer!
