SOLD 270 Sakimora Takobiki (Double bevel)

[Mucho Bocho]

Masanobu Okada 270 Sakimora Takobiki White #1 double bevel

Very sweet slicer, balance is on the first kanji closest to the handle.

3.2mm at handle
28mm tall at heel
410 OAL
6.0 OZ

Since its a double bevel its easier to maintain. Very asymmetrical so it moved through food very well, no steering. The handle is perfectly mounted w flush horn ferrule and great figure to the wood.

Used in a home kitchen a hand full of times, the W#2 is so well executed and the suminagashi damascus is just stellar in person.

Selling for $245.

I'll pay shipping to CONUS. International, lets discuss..

Oh man, these are so pretty, I missed them back when they just went for sale, alas no moolah right now for this. GLWS

Wondering how the frosted damascus finish goes when its thinning time. Certainly an appealing slicer.. Stiff, and the appeal of single bevel but in a (for me anyway) more useful double bevel.

 

[Mucho Bocho]

Hey Jim, I suspect it would wear like an other Damascus. It's very stiff, with slight taper too. wicked cutter, ver different animal than a traditional double bevel Suji.

 

[Mucho Bocho]

Bump

 

[GorillaGrunt]

Man I’ve had my eye on this for a while, seriously not buying knives right now but tempted nonetheless. Glws - it’s totally wicked and really swordy

 

[Mucho Bocho]

Price has been lowered to $245 shipped. its a lot of knife for this price. Impeccable fit and finish, stiff cuts fish and meats like a single. The blade is water quenched too. Totally strait and made from a Master blacksmith. Scratching my head why it hasn't sold yet.

 

[Mucho Bocho]

Knife is sold.

Damn. Missed by 33 minutes.

 

[never mind]

Yea, this one is sick (nice), so as the 300mm one, very, very sick!
