I have a few knives i would be interested in trading for your:
Zkramer 10" Gyuto. (SG2 preferred, open to Meji or 52100) Willing to accept *Almost* any condition blade.
Or
Hinoura / Mizuno / Mazaki
Or
General "project 240mm Gyuto", let me know what you have.
Options.
Sukenari zdp-189 240mm Hairline, Marble and Ebony handle. New. ($310.00)
And/OR
Sakai takayuki Ginsan bought here: ($225.00)
https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/sakai-sakura-ginsanko.40860/Ginsan is a real performer on this knife, i put it on the stones to start working the wide bevel. knife is now at a zero bevel monster,
Flattening is still not complete, but i dont want to put extra wear into the blade if its not needed. It will be a perfect project for somebody to start on their wide bevel life.
And/OR
Sakai Takayuki Blue 2 bought here: ($170.00)
https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/...akai-takayuki-sakura-gyuto.40982/#post-611039This knife needed thinning pretty badly, I got it to a zero bevel and its now a light saber. All sharpening zones are stone flat. Easy polish job. Needs New handle, I removed it and smashed it to get rid of the Silver spacer as it was loose and annoying.
And/OR
What I picked up in a trade as a Musashi Kogetsu By: Yoshito Yamakawa (mono white 1)
https://www.jshoppers.com/en/product/W15472but really has (All) the properties of a Masafune
Masafune SK Gyuto 240mm Rosewood Handle ($95.00)
This knife is thin, and is actually a great performer, Flat Grind, low reactivity, really performs more than 2x its price.
Pictures upon request.
