Trying to break the cycle a little bit and focus on knives that were actually made for me. Customs also require $$ so there’s that as well. I’ve always been very quick to just buy-to-try but I’m trying to slow that down a bit as well. It was fun to try the Yanick but I don’t see a reason to keep a knife when I recently (and very luckily) found a suitable replacement. Pretty much the same reason it was sold to me. Hopefully it can get to someone who will cherish it. The Nine has been a very durable and fun companion. More of a 1-and-done type knife.
Yanick
Specs match what CKC posted.
Some rather minimal use but definitely shows signs. Don’t think its been sharpened yet, not sure you’d need to for a while.
Yanick Puig Grenadille Gyuto 240mm
Nine
235x56mm, 229g
Blue 2 core, soft iron clad
Bog oak handle
Seen a lot of use. Such a good daily driver and a worry free knife. Best profile IMO, I’ve got a few customs coming up that will be copying this profile. Has very light scratches on it mainly from coarse sponges. Nothing crazy but know what you are getting.
Yanick is $1320 shipped and Nine is $850 shipped. I’ll probably roll with a $$ sale on these but wouldn’t mind hearing some trade options. Maybe a newer Kamon or a cheaper western. I’ll give it a day or so before deciding. US only please.
PM with any questions or more pics, try to not clog up the thread. Thanks.
