WTS David Lisch W2 Honyaki Gyuto 225mm

[captaincaed]

Hey all,
Raising funds for tuition, round 2. This is one I'm much more reluctant to release, but must be done.

Balance is perfect at the pinch, handles is molded and comfortable in every way. Handle is fit so tight, it acts like a tuning fork when you tap the spine. Master smith work.

Used only to cut beef jerky, then cleaned of patina. Never sharpened, still shaving sharp.

On hell of a knife here. If I didn't already have a Lisch this would be a great pick up. Someone help with tuition!

Wasn't that just on Epic Edge? I remember that.

 

[captaincaed]

Same one. Handled in person and it's got a nice thin grind. It's not hyper thin like Kochi, but it's not chunky in the slightest.

I remember when he made and posted pics of this. I came soooo dang close to buying it. That handle looks wicked nice. Plus I really like the profile of this one too. David’s work is on another level, and that sculpted bolster is very comfy & funtional

Epic edge listed it as 9 3/4" blade?

If you go ahead and post the whole spreadsheet you might have more offers coming your way!

It was incorrectly measured when first posted. Certificate reflects actual edge length. Maybe they were trying to do a 'sakai' measurement, we'll never know.

Hah! Possibly yes!

It's also described as "damascus". Maybe they just copied and pasted an earlier listing.

Yeah, that was a lazy mistake on their part. In any case, I'm happy to have this re-printed if buyer requests.

 

[captaincaed]

Also interested in a partial trade for a Hunter Valley Blade, if anyone has one handy!

Midweek bump
After talking with the maker, this was made along the lines of thebradleycrew's Spa Treatment.

 

[captaincaed]

FYI this will be the last day I have this on sale if anyone is on the fence

 

[captaincaed]

Would also love to trade for:
Hunter Valley Blade
Raquin
Mizuno Blue honyaki
Kippington laser
Bloodroot with osage handle
Wide bevel Japanese honyaki
Togashi honyaki

price including shipping, type of steel

 

[captaincaed]

Great question, all the dimensions and details including steel and price should.be in the first post. I'm happy to help with other questions as well.

Steel is w2, $1325 shipped CONUS

 

[captaincaed]

Going to give this one more shot at $1,225, then eBay I suppose.
Still open to partial trade offers as well.
Unused since the glamor shots were taken, no surprises.

 

[captaincaed]

Sold, thank you everyone who expressed interest

 

[marc4pt0]

Thank God. This was hard.
