Hitohira Kikuchiyo Kyuzo Kasumi 240mm Gyuto
Classic profile on this one--nice flat spot... reminds me of a yoshikane (see tracing of the edge below comparing this with a Yoshikane Kashima).
Nicely balanced just slightly in front of the pinch grip and just below the chiseled kanji on the right. Stropped a few times, but not sharpened. Has patina setting in (which you should be able to better see in the photos without flash).
Reason for selling: moolah needed for another knife.
Asking $285 (shipped US)
--Blue #2
--Handle: Cherry with brown pakkawood ferrule (can hit with board butter before sending)
edge length: 230mm (243.5mm from tip to machi)
--height at the heel: 47mm
--weight: 179g
Details here. Costs $370 new.
