Withdrawn 240 Y. Ikeda White 2 Honyaki

[pete84]

Used 240mm Y. Ikeda Wt.2 mizu wa-gyuto (non wide bevel - was told it was mizu by trusted seller)

I believe the brand name is “Sakai Izumi”

Bought it with nice mirror polish and octo burnt Chestnut handle by Jki

Used to cook a few meals at home when first received. Lovely cutter, the mirror polish does make sticktion more apparent though.

Has some very light patina and a couple spots of light pitting due to being stored for a long time. The mirror polish does resist patination somewhat but a refinish would make it sexy again.

Paid $1050 to my door, in current condition asking $900 shipped to yours in the USA.

REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE: $800 SHIPPED in USA (will be withdrawn 10/11 by end of day if not sold)

230mm edge/47.5mm heel/189.1g

Balance point is about 1 inch forward of heel
