Description
Grabbed another one and this time the specs are near perfect. However, I realized I prefer thicker blades with convex grinds. Never sharpened.
* NOTE: thought I was keeping it so I swapped the handle which created some marks on the blade from heating it. I believe they can be removed easily, but I wasn't able to get them all and I don't want to change the finish of the blade (even minimally) to remove them with Simichrome.
Dimensions:
Edge Length - 227mm
Height at heel - 53.5-54mm
Weight - 8 oz / 227 g
What's included
Tadokoro 240mm gyuto
Original box
Price
$375 shipped to USA. International buyers pay actual shipping minus $15. Price includes PP fees.
