Since joining the forum earlier this year i’ve gone a bit nuts, so now it’s time to thin the herd and merge some separate sale posts together.
I outlined any flaws/usage in my descriptions as thoroughly and critically as possible - I want there to be no surprises when you buy from me. Let me know if you want the patina removing before I post.
I will split shipping costs with you from the UK and provide discounts for multiple purchases.
If you want more photos or specs, please just ask.
SOLD: BNIB Tetsujin 240mm Blue #2 Metal Flow -£520 £420:
- Quite prominent banding on this copy.
- There’s a very slight scuff on the right hand side of the horn ferrule, you possibly wouldn’t notice if I didn’t point it out but wanted to flag.
Tetsujin 240mm Blue #2 k-tip Kasumi -£450 £330:
- Touched up once on a 3k grit, never thinned.
- Lightly used on a few onion and protein-heavy meals to get a patina established, with no noticeable scratches, scuffs etc that I can see to note.
- This copy has a Taihei rosewood handle, it’s probably one of the nicest handles in my collection and i’ll be sad to see it go.
SOLD: Hatsukokoro Yoake 210mm Blue #1 k-tip Migaki -£170 £125:
- Just a super nice and good value knife, but I want to replace it with the standard gyuto profile.
- Moderately but carefully used with a stable patina established, with no noticeable scratches, scuffs etc that I can see to note.
SOLD: BNIB Tanaka x Kyuzo 240mm Blue #1 Kurouchi -£420 £360:
- PLEASE READ: I would like to flag that the knife arrived to me with a very very small dark spot on the core steel.
- I decided to remove this with the lowest amount of intervention possible with a few light passes using some stone power and a cotton wool pad. The original spot is now almost imperceptible, but there are a handful of very very light scratches from the powder; you could completely eradicate both of these in less than 5 minutes but I thought it best to stop there having prevented any functional issues from developing and mindful that I would be putting it up for sale.
SOLD: Wakui 210mm White #2 -£160 £140:
- Not trying to be a salesman, but this knife is an absolute steal for the price. I won't lower any further.
- Sharpened once to establish a micro bevel, never thinned.
- Light patina on the core steel which betrays the light use (>5 meals) this has seen.
- A few very VERY light scratches by where the stainless cladding meets the core steel, which I’ve tried to show as best I can.
SOLD: Yoshimi Kato 240mm Ginsan -£150 £130:
- Sharpened once, never thinned.
- Very lightly used with no noticeable scratches, scuffs etc that I can see to note.
