Stefan's For Sale - Watanabe Single Bevels w/Stefan Handles

[Dave Martell]

Condition - Both knives have patina and rust, the deba showing the worst of it. The deba has a chipped tip. The honesuki has edge nicks at the heel. The handles are in decent condition although I need to note that the buffalo horn on the honesuki has some separations (hairline cracks) happening at the growth rings, which is a natural occurrence but noteworthy none-the-less. See pictures below for details.

Packaging - None

Shipping Costs/Etc. - Included in the price for USA buyers only. International buyers will pay an additional $45 fee. *Note - Custom declaration forms will have the actual price paid listed on the forms for insurance purposes.
*International buyers restricted from purchase of honesuki due to handle material export laws regarding "rosewood".

My PM source says....

Pro line Ajikiri. Blue # 2.

No Blue stamp on Honesuki - safe to assume White # 2.

I love my Wat honesuki. So easy to make sharp.

This one has a much nicer handle. And at a very reasonable price. And it looks like Mr Watanabe has closed his books for now.

Anyone wanting to try a honesuki- take another look at this.

That handle on the Watanabe Deba is absolutely stunning. Stefan liked his Watanabe.
