I was able to get my dream knife that was thoroughly unexpected so I have to sell some that I never wanted to sell. All prices USD and with CONUS shipping included in the PP G&S price. If you get more than 1, I'll take 10% off your total cost.

1. **SOLD**My custom Pig Iron Forge 241 x 54, 189g, 26c3 clad in nickel Damascus with an unknown burl handle. You can tell by looking at this blade that it's awesome. Nice thin grind and a crazy thin k-tip per my request. It still has a healthy spine and a thickened bolster. I love the handle on this one, it delayed the knife because it came from Eastern Europe. It looks like a dramatic Tahitian sunset. Balance is at the heel. I paid $700 in June, selling for $550.



2. **SOLD**Metalworks by Meola Damascus Monster 261 x 68, 325g, Chef's knife with Box Elder & fossilized coral ferrule. I contacted Akiva Meola out of Colorado for this blade. He is a collegiate knifemaking instructor and knows his stuff. His Damascus takes a great edge and I love the high bevel on his grinds. This is a highly capable workhorse with a nice tall 68-69 mm tall heel that got a polished finger guard. It's a lot of knife but the handle is ridiculously comfortable and balance is at the heel. I put a 13 deg edge on it to 3k. Good cutter and food release.

**SOLD**Paid $650 in May and would like $500. **SOLD**



3. C. Luis Piña Bunka 201x46, 167g, S-grind, Integral Bolster, coreless Damascus and curly maple handle. I am the 2nd owner, the first selling this one to get a custom from Piña. This is like a k-tipped nakiri, virtually no rise on the blade. His work is great and feature packed; nice, thin grind that he somehow manages to get some concavity into AND it's about as flexible as a boning knife. Good laser cutter with solis food release. Such a great piece and perfectly executed; Piña's work is clean and tight. Tuned up on a Nanohone 3K. It was originally $700, Paid $500, asking $400.

4. **SOLD**Sakai Genkichi 240 Shirogami 2 Kurouchi with Akebono-Nuri Urushi lacquer handle. 226 x 48, 192 g. I got this knife as a lark to find out about them and came away pleasantly shocked a knife from Sakai could cut SO well and they're largely not spoken about. Really solid value too, polished spine, nice Ku and stone finishing, with a hand lacquered handle. AND, AND, it cuts really damn well to boot all.

**SPF**Bought for $175 new, selling for $125.**SOLD**



5. Kagekiyo 240 Urushi Kuroro Aogami 1. 233x51, 164g. Forged by Y. Tanaka and Sharpened by Kagekiyo, probably Nishida. This is a fantastic line with best-in-class F&F today. Piano black smooth lacquer on Walnut wood. The Nuri method of Urushi lacquer they use lets it remain tacky when wet. Beautiful and functional. Only honed.

It also comes with a magnetic lacquer saya that's sized to the line of knives they come with.


SOLD!! paid $500, asking $400 TYD. SOLD!!
