SOLD Andrei Markin 260mm Gyuto

[dsk]

Hey all, long time no see. Ironically working as a manager in a restaurant meant I didn't cook anything at home for a year. Deciding to let one of two customs go. I'll keep the 240mm workhorse kipp.

Markin 260mm gyuto. I wanted a hybrid between his original design and newer style gyuto back in 2020.
Wx-15 HRC 63. Asked for a 52100 equivalent
Handle is a Pen style acacia burl
Asked for a slight lefty bias but it cuts fairly neutral as far as I can tell. Balance point is where the mosquito is. Tip is stupid thin. I love this knife but 240mm is all I really need in my house (honestly I don't need more than 210 but ya know...)

260mm Heel to Tip
55mm Heel
3.5mm width at choil
210g
Hasn't even been stropped or touched up, I cut maybe 3 or 4 home meals with it. Comes in a small box.

Asking $310 CONUS.

Helluva a price here considering it's really difficult to get something from Markin these days. GLWS

I figured cause of the state of the world. I just put it up for a little less than I paid, wouldn’t want to upcharge on his work.

Very cool of you to pass it on. Im sure the buyer will love it. I certainly love mine

Seriously good price, somebody will be very happy!

I’ve been out of the loop regarding Markin, has his work gotten a scarcity upcharge, I did a search and saw no wts from this year

Dunno about upcharge, but purchase is probably more difficult with the PayPal ban for Russian vendors due invasion on Ukraine.

That's one heck of a deal, really at this price point I can't think of a better knife. GLWS!
