WTS Kagekiyo B2 240mm - Price Drop

[Rodin326]

Putting this up for sale as it gets no use. I’m the original owner and it has been
minimally used and never sharpened. Little bits of patina on the edge which I can remove if desired. Asking $475 shipped CONUS.

Bump

Looks like a Myojin...think that's the sharpener?

Yeah I'm curious, never seen this variation, only the wide bevel

Are you sure this isn't blue 2 from Knife Life? The steel kanji doesn't match blue 1.

Is the handle hollow? How does a knife with those specs get that light?! What wood is it (underneath the lacquer)?

Agreed. B#2 not B#1

 

[JPAU]

Nakagawa B2?

It just says "blue steel", so without additional information or context, it could be either.

Kagekiyo B2 kasumi is rather short, around 48mm. Comes with magnolia urushi handle. So it’s very light. First time to see a tall enough 50mm version if ever.

Actually this is how the retailer Knife Life describes them. Also answers the what wood is it question.

I was just referring to the 青鋼 kanji on the back side of the blade as OP hasn't confirmed which store the knife comes from. Given the weight of the knife, it does seem likely to be a ho wood handle.

To the OP, here are quick pics of my B2 240 Kagekiyo. Very similar to yours. But mine is obviously shorter. You’ve got a good one there (for those wanting a minimum 50mm for their 240’s)

I had blue 1 written down but I believe you’re correct it is blue 2. Purchased from knife life.

I edited the thread to correct my mistake. Also, I see knife life has them for sale for less than I paid for mine so I'm lowering the price accordingly. $385 shipped CONUS. Thanks to everyone for finding my mistake.

Sorry for derailing the thread so much. These look really nice. GLWS!
