SOLD BNIB Kashima Sanjo 240 w#2 stainless clad -- $220 (DROP)

[chiffonodd]

DROP! $220 shipped CONUS.

For sale is this BNIB Kashima Sanjo 240 gyuto from cleancut. I purchased this a few weeks ago when I was checking out sanjo mid-weight gyutos. This is a lovely knife, but it is too similar to my gengetsu which I now have two of. So I've decided to pass this along to someone who has space in their block/bar for a knife like this. Like many sanjo gyutos, it has a great profile with very usable flat spot, a nice pointy tip, and a nice taper both longitudinally and toward the edge. It is also nice and thin behind the edge. Finally, this particular model is outfitted with an upgraded enju wood handle that is "half round" for comfort (octagonal on top, round on bottom), with a horn ferrule and end cap. I like the handle but if you have particularly large hands you might find it a bit on the skinny side.

I paid 2296 SEK with shipping to the US, which comes to $262.08. I will let this go for $250 $235 $220 shipped CONUS. Again, this knife is BNIB and has not cut a thing.

Is that a righty grind, or just the angle of the choil shot?

Is that a righty grind, or just the angle of the choil shot?

Good question. When I look at it with the naked eye, it does look like there could be some asymmetry to the grind, but the knife is pretty thin so it's not super easy to perceive. It kinda depends on how I hold it, so I'm not really trusting my eyes on this one. I tried to take the choil shot head-on, so in theory, what you see is what you get; but it could be that I was off angle when I took the photo.

I think the only way to be sure is to write to Cleancut directly and ask them if the Kashima Sanjo is 50/50 or what.

Thanks for your interest.

You can see the core steel in there, looks symmetrically ground.

Geez thats pretty

Had the same knife and liked it a lot. Also let it go because it was so similar to Gengetsu and Amekiri. There's a passaround thread about mine - most users also liked it and one bought it when I listed it.

GLWS!

It's a good thing we're moving (and shipping is such a PITA) or I'd own about 10 of these mid-level knives by now. They seem to be such great value.
