After 4 years at this hobby, I think I've narrowed down my preferences somewhat. So it's time to sell the blades I'm not using.
NOTE 1:For the first week this post is up, I'm only going to consider bundles from the knives listed below. I'll make an update when that changes. The more knives in a bundle, the more cash I'll knock off the total price. Open to individual sales now
NOTE 2: These are FOR SALE ONLY. The absolute only things I would entertain for trades would be Yanick, Milan, Comet or The9 honyaki gyutos/nakiris
PayPal G&S for all these, keeping it CONUS as well.
