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.

Bump.
Cough, cough--check the choil shot--cough, cough
 
Very nice knife in Blue 2. Priced as if it were White 2. Never sharpened... And from a trustworthy member. This would be a great user. It would also be a good one to practice fingerstones. If I did'nt have 40+ gyuto's in 200 to 250 range...
 
$250 now. Again, unsharpened and $370 new. Nice all-arounder, especially if yo like a good bit of flat spot.
 
I own this knife. I paid like $325 here in BST. I HIGHLY recommend this knife. I love mine and use it regularly. I own a lot of good stuff...and to think I could’ve got it for $250.
