WTS 247mm AEB-L Gyuto w/k-tip

[MSicardCutlery]

Here's a solid one. While not a true kiritsuke I did put a k-tip on it, mostly just for the sake of experimentation. It's heavy, and thick, but still cuts very easily owing to a very thin edge that tapers from approximately .1mm at the heel, to zero at halfway and remaining so to the tip.

• Blade: 247mmx57mm AEB-L (63hrc) 600 grit hand finish
• Neck: 18mmx20mm
• Handle: 122mm, tapering from 26.5mmx23.5 to 22.0mmx18.5mm, oil finished ebony with brass and stainless spacers.
• POB: 45mm from handle
• Spine: 2.54mm at the neck, 1.91mm at 13cm, 1.15mm 1cm from the tip
• Grind: flat to convex
• Weight: 219 grams
• Relieved spine and choil

It picked up a few scuff marks on one side and appears to have a .5mm bow to the left, that can't seem to force out. On an unrelated note, while I was working on this knife it fell off my work bench and landed almost flat on a concrete floor. The only damage sustained was a minor dent near the heel that has since been erased.

Asking $220 $200 U.S, shipping included in North America, for Europe and Australia I will cover the first $25 U.S of shipping.
