Morning KKF!
Listing out some knives i bought to test out/use. I have not been very active here. But those that know me are well aware of how trigger happy I have been. I have only recently gotten into kitchen knives (~1.5 years) and I have managed to buy a **** ton of knives. Here are some Japanese ones that I am looking to let go. No regrets buying any of these. But I must get out of hoarding before I reach out to buy some more. For the most part, these have just been used for the purpose of trying them out. Exceptions will be listed in the Notes section!
The price includes shipping CONUS. For international buyers, Id be happy to cover the first $15 of the shipping. I will include a blade guard with every single knife
For any more questions and pics, please just ask. The knives have not been used since the pics were taken. I took them all out together for the pics and packed them up again. But happy to take some more or even specifics if needed. I have a couple extra 240mm lacquered sayas. I'd be more than happy to include one if you want and it fits the knife here.
Lastly, since this is my first post, to re-assure any buyers, @Dan E @Tekkz @birdsfan and also Zach from Tokushu should be more than willing to vouch for me.
Cheers!
P.S: I took the group pic without the konosuke, but ill take pics as needed again

| Number | Knife Name | Shape | Length | Handle | Core | Clad | Saya | Condition | Notes | Asking Price (USD) | Pics | Status |
| 1 | Yoshikane White 2 Nashiji | Gyuto | 240mm | Wenge | Shirogami 2 | Stainless | Wenge from KnS | Used | This knife has been used for multiple meal preps. The edge retention on this guy was so good that I have only sharpened it once on a SP2k. Before that it has been stropped on a buffalo leather strop | 280 | SOLD | |
| 2 | Yoshikane SKD | Gyuto | 270mm | Heart Shaped Snakewood with marble ferrule handle | SKD | Stainless | Wenge from KnS | LNIB | I doubled up on this one since I liked it a lot. Letting go of the new one. I did use this for a test cut on onion to check with the sister knife if there was any variance. Convinced tht there is not so I keep the one that is used. Original edge | 430 | SOLD | |
| 3 | Wakui Kurouchi | Gyuto | 270mm | Joonetsu honeycomb and box elder spacers | Shirogami 2 | Stainless | Custom snakewood saya from Jesse Palmer | Used | I am the second owner to this. The previous owner is a friend who had similar intentions as me of trying it out. I am yet to sharpen it, but I am positive he put an edge on this for me before shipping | 350 | Available | |
| 4 | Wakui Kurouchi | Gyuto | 240mm | Ho wood handle | Shirogami 2 | Stainless | Blade guard | LNIB | Used for some tests, otherwise like new in the box. Original edge | 250 | SOLD | |
| 5 | Kagekiyo White #1 | Gyuto | 240mm | Red uraoshi lacquer handle | Shirogami 1 | Iron Clad | Lacquered Black saya | LNIB | Tested again on a carrot and an onion. Purchased this from @Michael Browning . I like this one. But it is very unfair that I never got around to using it. Original edge | 450 | SOLD | |
| 6 | Ryusen Blazen Wa | Gyuto | 240mm | Walnut | R2/SG2 | Stainless | Blade guard | LNIB | This has been used for a few cuts. Still scary sharp. I love this one. I was able to snag one with a yo handle in 270mm so this can go. Original edge | 350 | https://imgur.com/a/hr7y7Do | SOLD |
| 7 | Yu Kurosaki Raijin | Sujihiki | 270mm | Karelian Burch with cocobolo ferrule and turquoise spacer | Cobalt Special | Stainless | Box | BNIB | This was an impulse buy just based on the handle that sugi had available at the time. I never ended up using it . Original edge | 480 | https://imgur.com/a/NoAjqFJ | Available |
| 8 | Yoshimi Kato Dark Damascus | Gyuto | 240mm | Honduras rosewood with red pakkawood | R2/SG2 | SS damascus | Box | LNIB | Tried cutting cabbage and half a carrot with it. Original edge | 280 | https://imgur.com/a/Nr3EHTu | SOLD |
| 9 | Nigara Tsuchime | Bunka | 165mm | Walnut with turquoise spacer from SKS | Aogami Super | SS | Blade guard | Used | This knife has been sharpened a couple times. Honestly this was bought at a time when I was learning to sharpen. I am convinced I had a wire edge on it, but at the time I could not figure this out myself. It has seen 2 sharpenings on cerax 1k for that reason, while it probably never needed the second | 200 | https://imgur.com/a/K1wD7t0 | Available |
| 10 | Yu Kurosaki Sasame | Nakiri | 165mm | Wenge handle with turquoise ferrule | Cobalt Special | SS | Saya | LNIB | This one has been used for 2 maybe 3 meal preps. Very pretty looking blade, but nakiri just isnt something for me. Original edge | 300 | https://imgur.com/a/t0K3uU6 | Available |
| 11 | Goko Hamono Nashiji | Nakiri | 165mm | Walnut handle with unknown ferrule | Shirogami 1 | SS | Blade guard | Used | I genuinely wanted to enjoy nakiris. And so I used this many a times. Sharpened 3 maybe 4 times, on chosera pro 800 and 3k. It is still plenty thin bte. I would consider this the best bang for your buck nakiri, and a great one if someone is curious of the shape | 130 | https://imgur.com/a/xPz0dvO | SOLD |
| 12 | Shibata Migaki | Bunka | 180mm | Rosewood handle and turquoise spacer from SKS | R2/SG2 | SS | Saya | LNIB | Used to test 1 onion and a tomato. I have multiple of these so the new one can go. Original edge | 280 | https://imgur.com/a/YDxJI3v | SOLD |
| 13 | Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun | K- Petty | 150mm | Wa septagonal | R2/SG2 | Damascus | Box | BNIB | I am not gonna lie it sat in the basement and I just noticed a month ago that I had this. I purchased it 1.5 years ago so that was enough convincing for me to sell it lol | 180 | https://imgur.com/a/0z6LerA | Available |
| 14 | Konosuke Swedish Steel | Gyuto | 270mm | Western Yo handle | SS | Mono | Blade guard | LNIB | I bought this a couple weeks ago. I was curious to see if this is just a konosuke branded Ginga. I am convinced it is, but yes this was a curious buy. The edge was not sharp so I put a new edge on this on my ohira | 240 | https://imgur.com/a/hG8arG1 | Available |
