Withdrawn (BNIB) Hitohira Tanaka/Yohei Blue 1 Damascus 240 gyuto

[esoo]

Selling this one as I've discovered before use that the choil is ground for a right handed user (70/30 right handed and very sharp edge). Rest of the knife looks fine for a left handed user such as myself.

As I'm starting work, specs from the retailer:
Total Length: 385mm
Edge Length: 225mm
Handle to Tip Length: 238mm
Blade Height: 49mm
Thickness: 2.7mm
Handle Length: 146mm
Weight: 165g

Price: $899CAD (my cost) + shipping, Paypay G&S included. As I have an option for a return, giving the community a chance on the knife before I return it, but I have no interest in losing any more money than necessary.

Withdrawing. I've held the knife a few times and I've decided I want to keep it. I will see what I can do to even out the choil.
