Description:
Bought this off of BST a couple of years ago. It arrived quite thick behind the edge and with a sharpened-off tip, so I did some work on it, which I documented here: TF Thinning Project
Very light and nimble example of this particular gyuto. It had a small heel chip, which I did my best to fix while sacrificing minimal length, and the handle ferrule has a small notch from when I was thinning near the heel. The saya and handle are both cherry wood, I believe (although unfortunately the former came to me without a pin).
Specifications:
Length: 211mm
Height: 50mm
Spine thickness: 2.8 - 1.7 - 1
Weight: 133 gr.
Price: $190
Mainly looking to sell but if you have an interesting trade offer, I'm all ears. Particularly interested in a more workhorse-oriented gyuto such as a Wakui.
