Hate to do this, but selling the Heiji custom carbon I bought from Labor of Love. He did a great job designing this one. The profile is great and the shinogi line is much higher than is usual for Heiji. Because of this the knife cuts very differently from the other Heiji knives I've tried, in my opinion it is an improvement to the usual Heiji. The knife is a large 240 or short 270 at 262x53 with a ruler. The balance is very nice and to me it feels like a much smaller knife somehow. It comes with a saya, that is supposed to be friction fit, but it is pretty loose, I was going to drill a pin hole in it, but won't now. I can include an extra pin if the buyer wants it. Heiji uses Iwasaki's special Swedish carbon steel, same as Shigefusa, and his heat treat is excellent.
It is in great shape, I haven't used it a whole lot, too many knives:knife:.
I paid $440 and will sell for $420 all in CONUS. No trades for this, as I need to pay for other purchases.
