SOLD Vintage Osakaya Misono 270mm OEM Swedish steel gyuto or sujihiki

[blokey]

Suji Sold and thread closed

Selling one of these, which one ever sold first, both Osakaya 270mm branded Swedish steel, gyuto has Misono engraving on the back but sujihiki does not, steel is great, can get nasty sharp easily, not the hardest, probably similar to modern Misono. Gyuto is thinned, Suji is not but don’t really need thinning. Both are $120

Got a small nick just from handling the gyuto, love the steel…

Japanese proxy guide

1. Know kanji for kitchen knife 包丁 and gyuto牛刀. Learn other kanji too. Search

https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

https://jp.mercari.com/en

2. Use a proxy like

https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/

3. Navigate from Japan or the Japanese websites using Google translate. Can also Google search to find small dealers to buy from, or Google maps.

4. Realize there are so many brands and have to recognize knives by features

5. Spend too much money

6. Get hit by expensive shipping

7. Realize the proxy items I, @blokey, and other sell are usually break even at most

8. Get really messed up knives and have second thoughts and have to learn to fix and thin etc.

9. Break stuff and get duds or ripped off or lied to in listings, or package lost or damaged (my very first package was lost by buyee because they didn't apply the label securely)

10. Learn price history and get outbid a lot
