SOLD **DROP**Msicard Lefty gyuto

[Matt Jacobs]

My wife and I just got an offer accepted on our dream property on 5 acres. Unfortunately it's a little bit older of a farmhouse and there's not really a good place to put any of my knives other than below the upper cabinets. Because of this I'm going to be selling off anything I have over the 240 range as there's just not room, this particular one hurts. I got it a few weeks ago. I've used it for pretty much every meal since and I love it. I think one of my favorite things is his heat treat. 52100 is a great steel but 52100 at 64 to 65 HRC holds an edge forever. It's a pretty light Lefty grind. My wife actually couldn't even tell but an absolutely gorgeous knife. Perfect on the board. Anyone would love this guy. I wish I just had the room. You'll see a few more knives coming out in the next couple weeks. Asking $

400 shipped

Thank you

lets try a drop to $375.00 and I'll stop bugging Matt about not making enough lefty knives

 

[MSicardCutlery]

It's ok, I could use a friendly reminder. I just forgot about making lefty offerings because I get lefty customs and.....apparently that tracked for some some reason. I'm glad someone finally got to enjoy this knife and I hope someone does again soon.

 

[Matt Jacobs]

I'll open this up to trade for knives 240 an under. Let me know if your interested.

I had really great news today and when I went to lock the rate on my new house it drop 1/2 a point saving me a ton of money. I am going to pass this good luck on and give one lefty an incredible deal of $300.00 for this guy. I will pull it Saturday though and find a spot for it in the new place. Act fast!!!
