I'm selling this Dakota Willison AEB-L 270mm k-tip sujihiki. This was a custom order directly from Dakota, and it's a great knife: it has a really well-executed convex grind on the thinner side of middleweight, with good knuckle clearance for board work given the overall height of the knife. Despite being thin, the back half of the knife is nice and stiff, with a bit of flex toward the tip. I love the handle, the mango wood and marbled horn make for a great combo imo. The knife also has a semi-mirror finish. I've used it a handful of times at home, never sharpened.
I spent $425 on this, and I'm selling it for $350 300 USD including shipping within the US. I'm happy to ship internationally if we split shipping fees. Dakota's unfortunately not making knives anymore, but this is a chance to try his great work.
A few flaws to note: the handle install is a bit crooked, which you should be able to see in the choil shot, and there's a small divot on the right face, also visible in one of the pictures (although it was hard to capture given the mirror finish).
Here are the specs:
Spine thickness: ~2mm at handle (I misplaced my calipers so this is only approximate)
Height: 43mm at heel
Edge length: 275mm
Weight: 166 grams
Handle: Octagonal figured mango wood with marbled horn ferrule and end cap.
Steel: Monosteel stainless AEB-L
I'm selling a few other knives right now as well, and if you buy 2 or more, I'll knock off $25 for each knife bundled.
Of course, let me know if you have any questions, or would like to see additional pictures.
