Selling my Takada no Hamono (extra tall) Honyaki and Gesshin Ittesu Honyaki. Ideally, I would like to sell these two together. These are some of the best knives I own but they are too beautiful

Takada:

  • White 2 custom order meausring around 232mm heel to tip, ~50.5 mm tall at the heel, weight 175g (please see pictures below)
  • Bought from forum member Todd not long ago (Feb'23). Did not use it once, still has the protective lacquer as when I received it from Todd.
  • Forged by Nakagawa
  • Here is the link from BST: SOLD - Takada no Hamono 232mm Honyaki Gyuto (Nakagawa forged)
  • Paid $1,400 plus some paypal fees (credit card)
  • Includes white box and original packaging.
Gesshin Ittetsu:
  • Bought from Jon at JKI (initial sharpening done by him). Used to prep 3 meals at home and has developed a slight patina.
  • White 2 measures 230mm help to tip, 49mm at the heelp, and weights 225g.
  • Comes with fitted saya.
  • Paid $1,150 (Mar'23)
  • Here is the link to JKI Gesshin Ittetsu 240mm White #2 Honyaki Wa-Gyuto with Ebony Handle
  • Includes original packaging.

Price for both is $2,150 including shipping and Paypal fees. I would like to keep this sale within the US for now but willing to entertain international offers. Happy to take more pictures if you like.

Sorry, the Takada is 50.5? What would the normal heel heigh be if it wasn’t extra tall? GLWS
 
Quick update everyone. My wife doesn't want me to sell the Takada, she actually got pretty upset with my idea (she is a keeper). I decided to keep both knives and I have refunded the buyer.

I apologize to everyone and specially to the buyer!
