SOLD CONUS ONLY! All 240mm New! Kyuzo Blue #1, Konosuke HD2 and Like-New! Kawachi White #2

[Michael Browning]

Hello!

Please CONUS only! Need to recover some funds after spending a lot on one expensive knife >.>

SOLD Brand New! 240mm Tanaka Kyuzo Blue #1 KU with Yakusugi Cedar (best handle, and smells awesome!) paid $540USD something as I bought from CarbonKnifeCo directly from DM on Instagram a while back.. Looking to sell for $460USD PayPal and Ship included.

Like-new! 240mm Kawachi White #2 with Burnt Chestnut, an upgrade handle over the previous. Paid $500USD ish which included the Burnt Chestnut from JNS (JapaneseNaturalStones). I have used it once, on potatoes and somehow potatoes left patina on left side of the blade heh. I have bought 2 previously and sold one. Now I am selling this second one. Mind you, this knife is rather long over 240mm, I'd say around 245-248mm long. I would like to sell for $400 PayPal and Ship included.

SOLD !Used! 240mm Konosuke HD2, I believe I got this from CKTG (ChefKnivesToGo) for $380USD. I have used this occasionally, never sharpen till recently to give it a fresh edge before selling. The knife itself looks basically brand new, I have taken utmost care of it. Only micro scratches which isn't easily visible, no patinas as of yet and you can definitely see bandings if you look hard enough under the lights (Just had noticed this when taking pics). A very special knife that I believe is still popular to this day, someone will enjoy this. I am looking to sell for $300USD PayPal and Ship included.

What’s the weight of that Kawachi? And does it have that cigarette smell that Maksim‘s handles are so famous for?

Funny that you mention this! No, not this time, just the box it came in with haha! It's pretty light, less than 230g (estimately). I don't have a scale, I should invest in one. But I can definitely compare it with my Yanick 255mm which hits 248g.

 

[Choppin]

also, how tall at the heel is the Kawachi?

 

[daddy yo yo]

56 - that’s written up there!

 

[omegatemplar]

That 56 is info copied from JNS

It's almost as accurate. Per my caliper shows, it's 56.XX-57mm estimately because I'm afraid of touching the edge with it.

 

[Michael Browning]

Konosuke HD2 sold.

 

[Michael Browning]

Kawachi SPF.
Kawachi Available again.

 

[Michael Browning]

After seeing some comparison vs other site on Kyuzo, I am gonna be fair to lower the price to $460.

 

[daddy yo yo]

Seriously, that Kawachi is stunning… the handle upgrade is sweeeeeeeet!!! Someone please buy this!

 

[Michael Browning]

Kyuzo Sold.

 

[Bensonhai]

Bumb for great seller

 

[enrico]

@Chang can attest to these Kawachi's. Very good value on some spicy dimensions. Plus, this has the handle upgrade and is still cheaper than buying from JNS.

 

[ashy2classy]

The Kwachis look amazing. Learned from Shiraki so you know it's good.

I love mine, it’s like getting all that goodness of a Sakai knife, with that Sanjo style taper. Patinas so damn good too. Here’s mine:
