This was a test knife for me, and i really like it. I would have no hesitation to whack some big stuff with this!! It has a full urasuki grind and a very small micro bevel. The grain from the ivory is very visible and the ebony has a great chatoyance.
Price is $450 plus shipping

Thanks for looking and happy holidays!!!

Great work Mike. I wish I had the $$$$ for one or preferably all of them.
 
Thanks guys, will get choil shots later today, and replace that first gyuto pic, didnt realize how bad it was.
 
Thanks guys! Pretty happy with how these have been turning out :) I have a bunch that will be being posted as i get them finished, also might have an extra handle or two also...
 
Son, where did you get you hippo ivory? :D Just kidding.
 
In honor of the christmas holiday, i will drop the price of they gyuto down to $1150 and the suji down to $1000. I will be making sayas for them tonight i think and will have them ready to rock!!!
 
There is a wip on hhh's thread. I would link but I think there is a rule about linking to other vender's threads.

Mike, do you make the matching saya for gyuto & suji? any pictures??
 
Not finished yet, and i matched them as best as i could. Will hopefully have pictures up today :)
 
Nothing? I suppose if i do not sell them, i finally get to keep a knife for myself :) Here is the last of what i will do on these. Gyuto will now be $1000 and i will drop the suji down to $900, both will come with sayas with ivory pins.
 
Oh my God!!!! That gyuto is too awesome!!! AAARRRGGHHH!!!! such a great deal too!!!!
Mike, would you consider a trade for a geriatric and overly-flatulent English bulldog?
Somebody please buy these!!!!!
 
Gyuto heel shot. Not a thin laser but has a good convex and cuts nice!

Suji is pretty thin and also cuts pretty well.

Should have added these a while ago, i apologize.
 
If only I had a grand I would have bought it by now. Just remember the one "with hamon" and how it went on a pass a round, then every one was in love. I have no idea why this is still here? And why lefty hasn't bought it yet. ;)
 
Ok folks, in the hospital, hoping to have a baby by the end of the day. Will lower both the gyuto and suji down to $800 and the deba down to $375. Wish me luck!!!
 
I can tell that you've been studying & using Japanese knives, you're knives look great Mike. Good luck with sale & baby having!!! :doublethumbsup:
 
Good luck both with the sale and more importantly on the birth of a happy baby!
 
Ok. Who has the # for selling a kidney? Gratz on the birth.


(grumble.... grumble.... grumble)
 
Thanks guys!! All we are hoping for is a healthy, happy baby. Thanks Dave, means alot :D
