SOLD (last one & new vid) Hitohira Tanaka Yohei Dammy & free optional handles

[Censere]

One Yohei remaining. Need to sell quickly for some JNAT & knife purchases. I'm offering one very nice replacement Taihei-style handles for free. The buyer of the sold Yohei picked a handle and I helped install it. It's beautiful. Gotta check out the video below.
Pls DM if you want to talk prices.

The blades are shinny brand new. It's oiled with no excess running around or polymerized oil layer, simple dish wash would remove it. According to the original sellers, these came without handles, and the handles are put on by the retailers.


Sold $800 Hitohira Yohei B1 Damascus 240 - blond horn ebony handle
check out how it looks with the Taihei-style replacement handle. Just beautiful.

I also have one extra that's similar to this handle above, but not featured in the video below


SPF - $800 Hitohira Yohei B1 Damascus 240 - Ceylon ironwood handle & saya - 50mm height, 193g weight, standard Takada balance (handle not heavy actually)

This video is to demo the knife & some handle choices.
The Ebony handle is brand new and taken off from the other Yohei, whose buyer had one of my Taihei-style replacement handles put on.

• In your DM, please share everything you wanted to ascertain before purchasing. Helps both parties save some time from going back and forth
• Payment via PayPal / venmo / bank transfer are all fine. Shipping is covered (costs me ~$50 to ship to CONUS, and $70 to Australia)
• Shipping out of Beijing arrives in most countries in a week, occasionally takes a few more days at the customs. I will share tracking for both legs.
• I've done quite a few transactions here, and my counterparties can back me up.

Excuse my ignorance but are the Yohei line all Takada ground?
Thought Yohei was the sharpener, maybe I misunderstood

Hitohira puts pseudo names on the sharpeners. To my knowledge. Yohei is Takada. Yohei Dammy = sand-blast & not-etched Takada Dammy Suminagashi. Backed up by in-person comparisons.

Not to take over OP's sale thread, but Yohei is the name that Hitohira uses for Takada. Similar to how Yauchi is supposed to be Kyuzo.


The names come from "Seven Samurai"
