Selling to raise a little cash and with Melbourne back into stage 4 lockdown it probably won't be getting used any time soon. Used on rotation in a professional kitchen with probably 4 or 5 other cleavers and for what it's worth I took a year off to travel and my work has been closed since March this year so it really hasn't been used that much. I bought this back in 2017 in Kappabashi, can't remember the name of the store, I think it was Tsubaya? 425g 218x109mm, real easy to sharpen and holds a reasonable edge for what I assume is white 2. It's got a fugly patina on it now as it hasn't been getting any love but I'm happy to take this off. Rounded choil and spine (not polished), typical Sugimoto finish, I've tried to show the grind marks on the second pic. Unfortunately I no longer have the box for this as I was pretty sure I wouldn't sell it (don't know how many times I've said that now). There's also a small nick in the sheath from the heel of the knife going through it.
I'd rather keep this sale in Australia due to the fact that I'm not sure about delays and such with the current climate. I'm happy to post international so long as the buyer is okay with potential delays and shipping from Australia is pretty expensive, last cleaver I posted to Europe was about $60AUD for standard airmail with a tracking number.
Asking $300AUD (or $214.90USD in line with the forum rules). I'll pay shipping in Australia for a standard service with tracking. International shipping will be at the buyers expense. As a little extra, I'll throw in a Takeda classic Kogatana. Don't have a pic, but it's in good condition, got a crappy paracord handle I popped on it, easy to sharpen the fat bevels and gets real sharp. I think it's about 90mm, maybe a touch smaller.
Cheers!
