SOLD Tetsujin Ginsan 240mm Gyuto

[ashy2classy]

Description
Huge Tetsujin fan so naturally I grabbed a ginsan gyuto. Unfortunately, it's lighter (170g with ho D handle) than my blue 2 so I'm letting it go. Tested replacing the handle to a D handle then reinstalled the original. Sharpened once.

NOTE: smudges are a combination of finger prints and traces of glue residue. I ran the blade under hot water and got a lot of them off after taking photos.

Purchased here for $361 shipped. Was their tallest sample: https://www.knivesandstones.com.au/products/tetsujin-ginsan-kasumi-gyuto-240mm-ebony-handle

Sounds very nice

How would you compare this ginsan against Nakagawa’s steel?

Both are really good. I'd give the edge to Nakagawa.

Ugh I’m so tempted. It seems like a kikuchiyo Izo but less shatteringly fragile

Great price. Think Tetogi sold a couple of these with different handle recently for $428 each and they were gone quick.

Thanks! Definitely thought there'd be more interest given the price. The knife is light and thin, but very solid on the board. *SHRUG*

Beautiful knife at a great price. I'd definitely bite if I didn't just pick up two. GLWS

Really shocked this is sitting especially considering the steal price, weird. Awesome knife if it performs anything like other Tetsujins
