Found a Yanick, this thread can be closed, and some of the knives will get their own WTS. Thank you, KKF!

 

[daddy yo yo]

Taking my own thread back from the dead. This time WTT for a Shihan the9 gyuto.

 

[OkayMode]

Taking my own thread back from the dead. This time WTT for a Shihan. Have a telegraph wire so that is not my main interest.

Just so you know, he’s taking custom orders again via email! Unless you specifically wanted to move some of these things on at the same time

 

[daddy yo yo]

Added Raquin and the9 to the list of knives I’d be interested in.

 

[daddy yo yo]

Am on the list for a Shihan (thank you so much @OkayMode) but would love to try a gyuto from the9. Please PM.
