Recently upgraded a couple of knives so need to move a couple others to make room. Both are great starter knives in their class.

Edge Length: 242mm
Height at Heel: 50mm
Weight: 185g
Used on and off for a couple of months. Never sharpened, still got a great edge, comes with box, and free first sharpening card from Bernal.
$408 at Bernal; looking for $310 shipped CONUS.

Hitohira Gorobei 270mm Aogami 2 Yanagiba
Edge Length: 268mm
Height at Heel: 33mm
Weight: 189g
Quite thick out of the handle (~4mm) which gives it great weight for its length and drops through raw fish with ease. Used about 5 times on raw fish only. Was NIB but touched up by Bernal on the day I got it (was not very sharp OOB), now still incredibly sharp, comes with box, and free first sharpening card from Bernal.
$185 at Bernal; looking for $125 shipped CONUS.
