Hi all –
Going through a large sell off toward shifting priorities in my collection. I am open to trades, but am extremely picky and would likely be interested in higher-end stuff only. I am a home cook, so most “uses” are no longer than 10 minutes to make dinner for one. Nothing has been sharpened more than once.
Of particular trade interest:
- Any and all Kiyoshi Kato
- Shigefusa Kitaeji gyuto 210mm ( I have other things to trade for this specific item )
This is sorted by length, as it seems a good enough way to go about it.
Please PM if anything is of specific interest and I am happy to answer any and all questions, in addition to provide more photos. Image attached here is in order of list below moving left to right.
Heiji spicy Swedish yanagi 300mm w/ saya
This has been used 2-3 times to portion raw and boneless proteins. Very stout blade. Saya is from Heiji and perfect fit.
$600 shipped CONUS
Toyama Noborikoi Kasumi gyuto w/ custom handle 270mm
Lightly used, touched up once on a maru suita. Absolute beast of a knife, but I recently purchased a 210mm, as I am not a tall man. Gorgeous Tasmanian handle with dual copper spacers. This will be tough to track down with Toyama switching to stainless clad.
$550 shipped CONUS
Shigefusa Kitaeji yanagi 240mm (SOLD)
This has been used about 5 times to portion raw and boneless proteins. Gorgeous pattern and no patina.
$1400 shipped CONUS
Watanabe honyaki Blue 1 gyutohiki 225m (SOLD)
At 45mm height, I consider this a gyuto, but many see it more as hybrid. Steel is Blue 1A, as Shinichi calls it. Super unique.
$1000 shipped CONUS
Konosuke Fujiyama (morihiro) White 2 Kama Usuba 195mm w/ saya
You may consider this new, as it was used on two test cuts of a cucumber. Would come with Konosuke saya and is of original Fujiyama line.
$500 shipped CONUS
Suisin Ikeda White 2 mukimono 180mm w/ saya
Purchased directly from Suisin with the classic Ikeda gold seal. Polished once up to a Ohira suita.
$350 shipped CONUS
Gesshin Ginga stainless gyuto 180mm w/ saya (SOLD)
Lightly used. The epitome of laser.
$175 shipped CONUS
Watanabe Nakiri w/ custom handle 180mm w/ saya (SOLD)
THE Nakiri by most people’s estimations. Never sharpened or stropped. Beautiful maple burl with mammoth tooth handle. Saya was made by Shinichi to fit.
$350 shipped CONUS
Evan Antzenberger 125sc honyaki Chinese cleaver 173x88
Cool blade that I bought to experience a Chinese cleaver. Not my jam. Used twice.
$700 shipped CONUS
Masakage Koishi ko-bunka w/ custom handle 135mm (SOLD)
Cool little guy that is a lot of fun for garlic, ginger and the such. Never sharpened or stropped.
$200 shipped CONUS
** As a final note, I do have three Santoku currently up for sale in different posts: An Ikeda, Yoshimitsu Tamahagane and Shigefusa. In addition, a Masamoto KS old stock double bevel kiritsuke.
