SOLD Carter White #1 160mm Funayuki ($290)

[ian]

Today I'm offering up this lovely Carter 160mm Funayuki. I bought the knife from @captaincaed at a killer price from this thread, basically knowing that I couldn't really afford to keep it. It's a great, tough little knife that one can use for a variety of tasks: I've used it on soft and hard produce, to trim meat and to debone chickens, and the edge retention and toughness has been great.

Details

The core is White #1, the cladding is stainless.
Length 160mm
Height 42mm
Weight 119g
Balance point at the top edge of the handle.
Made by Murray Carter. (Not an apprentice.)

Price

I am asking $290, shipped CONUS. This is my standard "price I purchased the knife for, minus $10", so you're getting a great deal thanks to captaincaed. New Carters of this style seem to go for around $550. Here is an example.

Since receiving the knife, I've thinned it a bit behind the edge (nothing major) and sharpened it. It comes with a saya, a saya pin, and Carter's original box.

Here’s a little glamor shot just before I sold it. Excellent utility knife I liquidated because my name came up on a maker’s list and I’m a grad student with limited funds.

Always glad to see more academically preoccupied people on here. (Me=mathematician.)

I'm in an engineering department but my research is mostly math and machine learning =)

Lots of people in my dept are getting into neural nets. They’re mostly into the geometry and general theory of them, in a certain sense, rather than any applications, though.
