  1. OkLobster

    Bought Withdrawn.

    I've been thinking over which one of my knives should get the boot and well... this post tells the verdict. This has been used for about two extended prep sessions and has not been sharpened or stropped. I paid about $2000 with taxes and shipping into account a few months ago. Price: $1660...

    Withdrawn Honyaki

    Ye. I am mainly focused on non-western made Honyaki at the moment but am open to some truly spicy offerings. Unused preferred. I have my eye on a Togashi x Yohei White #2 at Strata but wanted to survey my options here as well. Withdrawn for the time being!

    SOLD /WTT KEF LS50 Meta, KC62 Subwoofer, Peachtree Nova 300 Integrated AMP

    These were bought back in late February for personal use but low and behold, I realized that I prefer headphones for my current situation. Nothing much to say otherwise, this was great for me and I personally loved the sound for a relatively entry level (in the world of speakers that is) setup...

    SOLD Wa Jiro 225mm Gyuto #287

    :( I bought this back in September thinking it was a 240mm the whole time when it was actually a 225mm. A 240mm has been found so it's time for my friend to find a new home. This has been used numerous times to the point where I've lost count. It has been stropped and will soon need its...

    Withdrawn Big Nakiri

    Friend is lending me his Big Nakiri to test out so this is withdrawn for the time being. Need me some big Nakiri. Putting this up in the case that Wat won't entertain my custom request. I define a big Nakiri as: 180mm Taller "cleaver-esque" height, e.g. ~80mm height Ideally has a wa handle...

    Big Nakiri / Small Cleaver Recommendation

    I sold my Kono Cleaver a while back partially since I realized I wanted a Big Nakiri rather than a full size cleaver. I'm mainly looking for the following qualities: 180mm — my favorite Nakiri size — or as close to it as possible Ideally blue steel Finished on stones Wa handle would be...

    WTB Kato STD, Kato WH, Shigefusa Kitaeji 240mm Gyuto

    Title. Who knows how long this will take, but I have been wanting to try a non-KU Kato and a Shig Kitaeji for quite a while now. I would prefer one that has not been used. If you have one up for sale or are entertaining selling one, do let me know.

    SOLD Jiro 270mm Wa Sujihiki

    *manic laughing* Yeah... I love this knife but that bastard of a Shig Kitaeji Yanagiba popped up and that is too good to pass up. I will own a 270mm Jiro Sujihiki one day again though... This has been used twice for two wonderful pieces of ribeye but has not shown patina yet. This has not...

    WTS SongTea "Hester" Tea Bowl

    This is a bit of an oddity, but this is the non-knife section of KKF after all. I purchased this in October 2020 and used it a handful of times before putting this away in the vault. I do not recall the maker but this is one of one and was made alongside a few other bowls as part of an order...

    SOLD Miura's Thicker Blue #1 Manaka Hamono 240mm Gyuto

    Great knife, but I recently picked up a Sujihiki and I'd like to free up some funds for my upcoming globetrotting trip in May. The "thicker" variant, to my knowledge, is only available from Miura and is an absolute beast with the following measurements. Overall Length: 405mm Blade Length...

    SOLD Konosuke FM Fujiyama Blue #1 Kaiju

    Formalities, no formalities, I would say that the Kaiju deserves a write-off. The "myths" on KKF are true. This is a knife that is an echelon above others with quality; quality that I do not expect to find elsewhere for a very long time. This was the knife for me and one I never thought I...

    SOLD Shigefusa 240mm Kasumi Gyuto for MSRP.

    MSRP probably isn't the right term to use here but... I bought this from the latest JNS drop as I've never handled a Kasumi Shig before and now its time to catch and release. This has not been used, sharpened, or stropped. I am not looking for a trade nor am I willing to haggle on the price...

    SOLD Konosuke FM Fujiyama Chuka Bocho Blue #2

    I love this knife but it has slipped to the end of my rotation with the novelty having worn off. All in all, I would say that I've used this for about three dinners or so having a grand time slaughtering produce. There are a few scratches near the spine from using it like a cleaver should be...

    "Thicker" Manaka Hamono Blue #1 240mm Gyuto

    I was about to post a mini-review in the new knife day (NKD) thread since I'm lazy but here's to doing a service for the community. Introduction: A rabbit hole in a rabbit hole. This started with browsing BST one day when I noted a Manaka 210mm Gyuto was up for sale. I wasn’t quite a fan of...

    SOLD Watanabe Pro Blue #2 Stainless Clad 240mm Gyuto

    Catch and release. This was a knife I wanted to experience and it cuts well but isn't a keeper for me. This hasn't been sharpened or stropped and was used for a single bag of carrots. There is a small bit on the heel that wasn't polished (according to Zahocho) but this wasn't noticed until...

    SOLD Konosuke Sumiiro 150mm Petty

    Selling for a friend. This has been used a handful of times. Fit and finish is spot on; both spine and coil are perfectly rounded + smooth, ferrule is perfectly flush with the rest of the handle, and the joining area (from knife to handle) is as clean as can be. Asking: $200 shipped FIRM CONUS

    Withdrawn Western Maker Gyutos

    Howdy all. I'd like to explore the world of western gyutos and am particularly interested in the following knives/makers: The 9, Dalman, Birgersson, Dalman + Birgersson WH Dark KU collaboration Gyuto, Yanick Puig, Bryan Raquin. I prefer 240s that have a heel height of at least 53mm and are on...

    Withdrawn Kitaeji Shigefusa 240mm Gyuto, Kato WH

    Edit: Withdrawn for the current moment. These will see frequent use but I would prefer a knife that is BNIB. Being the rare knife that these are, I am willing to throw a bit of a premium on top as I'm sure quite a few are sitting in the shadows waiting to be coaxed out 😂 Located within the...

    SOLD Mazaki "Mazascus" Blue #1 Damascus Gyuto 240mm

    Catch and release and the last of this "liquidation" sale. The knife has been used for one dinner, cuts well, and has not been sharpened or stropped. Both the aogami core and Damascus cladding are hand-made in house from scratch (opposed to pre-laminated stock). Normally, I'd price this at...

    SOLD BNIB White #2 Nashiji Mazaki 240mm Gyuto

    Liquidation sale liquidation sale all must go 😂 I bought this as a gift for my ex but we broke up and I no longer have a use case for this. This has not been used, sharpened, or stropped. Asking: $220 shipped. KKF has been a bit slow in this regard recently but this is now sold for the...
