Hello KKF!

I have a pretty sweet blade for sale that sadly needs to move on to the next person. I was fortunate enough to grab something I’ve always been looking for so as a result I need to move this.

What we have here is a Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo 240 Super Blue Gyuto. I picked this up from Ai&Om not too long ago and it’s been a pleasure to use.. fit and finish is top notch like usual from Hitohira. The combination of Tanaka super blue and the wide bevel from Kyuzo makes this knife an absolute destroyer with great edge retention. Knife has a decent patina from use which I usually prefer to keep as it’s added protection.. also includes original saya.

Knife specs-

Length: 387mm
Weight: 204g
Edge length: 225mm
Edge height at heel: 48mm
Thickness at spine: 2.5mm

Original purchase link:
Hitohira Tanaka Kyuzo Blue Super Migaki Gyuto 240mm Ebony Handle (Saya)

Looking to get $750 shipped CONUS for this one. International buyers we can chat, however with international shipping being the way it is priority will go to CONUS buyers. Thank you.

Oh thank goodness it's <50mm heel or I would have been buying another TxK... GLWS! Such an awesome knife
Funny that you say that… 48mm to me still feels like a tall blade😅

But with that being said this knife is perfect dimensions for me. Wouldn’t be too upset if this one didn’t sell and I just HAD to keep it lmao
 
This is a rare bird and an awesome one at that. Great dimensions IMO for this type of knife. I was very jealous when you bought this and posted some photos.

Appreciate the kind words! It really is a special knife. Also couldn’t agree with you more about that the dimensions of it are spot on for me as well.

I could be wrong but I feel like I’ve only seen two other blades offered in Super Blue by Tanaka x Kyuzo.
 
Priced to steal!😍
I got to steal the knife I was after so I figured I would spread some love around (;

Will be sad to see this one go though. I am fortunate that I got to handle it and know that the specs are exactly what I like in a knife for future purchases.
