Hi KKF,
I'd like to sell the following knives as a bundle. I've enjoyed having all of them in the collection, but trying to pare down a little and remove some duplication in the ranks.
1. Kiyoshi Kato Std w/ Kasumi finish and custom Jobone Handle - this is a Standard, but nice and thick coming out of the handle (5.8mm on my calipers)! Specs are 229mm x 50mm, 250g. Balance is right at the heel
2. Halcyon Forge "Banded Lightning" - Super smooth convex grind, walnut burl handle. 230mm x 53mm, 263g. Strong forward balance at about +33mm in front of the heel.
3. Original Kippington Hook Grind - This was the first hook grind that he sold and has a great raw feeling to it. It's also still a Kippington and cuts appropriately so, aka better than whatever junk you have in your hand at the moment! ... Tapers down to a very thin tip that ghosts its way through onions. Specs are 221mm x 50mm, 149g. Balance is +25mm.
Asking $3k for the bundle, shipped and insured US/Canada. Hit me up in DMs if further away and we can work something out. Let me know if you need more pictures!
