A continuation of last week’s sale—2 more lifetimers! Tobias Heldqvist Integral Gyuto A baddie passed along from Emperor @Elliot. One of Tobias’ early integrals; alllll heirloom everything. I’ve refreshed the older patina, buffed off some stray scratches, and given it a quick dip. Steel...

Hi all!! 👋🏻 Doing some cleaning up ahead of other projects. All of these have been used, sharpened, polished, and loved deeply. Thanks for looking! Fellipi x2 I’m the second owner of both. Y’all should be watching this smith’s work closely imo. Take the two-knife set for less ! Custom...

Ladies and germs! At my first prep cook job a lifetime ago, I used one of those garbage dexter gyutos day in day out that my restaurant got from some company that came to replace them every two weeks with freshly sharpened ones, and I KNEW that was absolute ass. One morning a bartender showed...

Here’s a cutie for y’all— Snagged this as a chunk of raw ore that I flattened. Lemme tell you this thing is HARD so it was not easy lol. Despite this, she’s quite silky and very fine. Nothing has proven toxic on the face so far. Aiiwatani Asagi 195x78x45mm 1718g Asking $400>>$350>>$325>>$275...

She’s baaaaack! I was the first owner of this straight from Jonas back in early 2021. It spent some time away with a friend after my medical sell off last spring and I snagged it back early winter. I simply haven’t used it since, and I’ve some other incomings so this needs more willing hands...

Greetings all! Another baddie for your consideration. Full disclosure—this guy came to me as a slight refurb and is a couple millimeters short of its original height and length after some edge damage repair. It’s now fully restored in geometry and polish, and has a new custom handle courtesy of...

Hellooooo all! On offer today a sweetie from the prodigious Timo of Hardent Knives. Was lucky enough to win this knife from his recent giveaway, and having taken it for a spin and discussed it with Timo, I’ve decided to pass it along to give others an opportunity to experience this kid’s...

Catch and release on this ridiculous baddie🕊️ Sadly I’ve overbought a bit (overcompensated, more like), and need to let just one go to balance the book. Of my recent haul, I think this is one I’m just the least attached to 🤷🏻‍ Literally just took it out of the box to take this video and that’s...

Very reluctant catch and release. My fiancé and I are moving and I'm sure y’all know the ridiculous costs involved with that these days lol One tiny blemish on the dammy near the spine on the ura side from a previous owner, absolutely cosmetic. I didn’t even notice it myself until the second...

duplicate Shig was here 🪦

A beauty for y’all! Nice and soft and very fast, but a finer example of the aizu family, so quite suitable as both an edge finisher for refined teeth and a first step off synths in a polishing progression. 206x66x67mm 1829g Asking $400 USD shipped CONUS

Couple bricks for y'all✌🏻 Asagi Nashiji Namazu Bought in person from @musicman980 last fall. We theorize it could also be a Tenjyou Suita. Used by the Miyadaiku. Medium-plus speed, hard-minus, quite fine. Hand saw cut. Incredibly even finishes with good slurry management. 206x74x28mm; 917g...

Hey fam! ✌🏻 Up for grabs today is an absolute sword of Bryan’s. Received in a trade with one of our lovely members, who snagged it from Bryan’s webstore. It came to me unused—I’ve used it once to portion octopus, and stropped it once on a slurried Aizu. The blade has also just returned from...

This is a friend’s blade; I’ve been tasked with restoring and polishing it. He bought it about ten years ago in Japan. Anyone have any idea what this is? Thanks as always! 🖤

As I get deeper and deeper into this, it’s getting harder and harder to part with the gems, but alas thus is life. These two beauties are next to go. Evan KU Honyaki Gyuto Banding banding banding (peep the video, taken earlier today)😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I believe I’m the third owner of this blade. I’ve...

Hey folks✌🏻 A sad day for me today. I’ve recently learned that some health issues I’ve been having are more severe than anticipated and as such I’ve been advised to step away from my career as a chef. What’s more, I’ve been notified of some long term care costs that I may incur as part of my...

Hey fam! Got a couple for you—just thinning the family to make room for others😉 Full Kasumi 270 Gyuto First up is a very quick catch and release that y’all will remember. Snagged from Eric a couple weeks back—took it out the box, admired it for a while, realized I was never going to use it...

Happy holidays, ladies n gents! Immediate catch and release, here. Long story short I had a custom with Jezz back in March that was completed but had to be sent back due to issues with the cladding; this was his makeup blade that finally made its way to me after some delay. The steel layering...
