240 mazaki - 210$ - SOLD
240 Hinoura - 240$ - SOLD
180 Wat nakiri - 200$ - SOLD
All knives were bought on BST so I will link their descriptions from previous threads and put some of my thoughts down. They are leaving in nearly identical condition condition in which they came, plus some patina, beeswax around the tang, and a sharpening. I will cover first 20$ of shipping outside of CONUS.
SOLD - 240 mazaki migaki née kasumi - it was a kasumi finish but was thinned. Comes with burnt saya.
Price - 210$ all in
white steel #2
222 grams
246mm edge
Description - I originally was hesitant to buy a maz and get a fatty, so I waited on BST until I saw one that someone put some time into and obviously cared about. I love the full machi, and the distal taper is the best I've seen so far. Very comfortable, very authoritative on the board. I like the belly it has which the newer mazakis are lacking in my opinion.

240 hinoura - white steel, tall, all carbon version from cleancut
219 grams
Edge - 246mm
Price - 240$ all in
This is a good knife. I bought because I've been wanting to try Hinoura for a while. Great steel, great feedback on the board, drops through product. I never clicked with the KU finish though. The finish is well done, product fell right off the finish, and it gives the knife some serious juevos.

SOLD
180 wat nakiri pro in blue #2
This needs little introduction.
Weight - 191 grams
Price - 200$ all in - SOLD
I did some work on the kasumi finish on the bevel. Looks good, but not perfect. Was previously sharpened on the wide bevel and has some good scratch lines that will work out with time as the bevels become flattened. I didnt think I would sell it because it was priced well, but it sat in the drawer. I thought I could scoop with it and use it as a small cleaver, but it never happened. Same story with nakiris the world over I suppose.
